Thanks for mentioning that, but it only happens when I use lotion or shower gel. I actually get it on my legs too, but not as much.
To the person who suggested Cetaphil, I have used their cleanser (it works well) but the lotion was too light and evaporated quickly.
I did just buy the Vaseline "gentle" moisturizer (I forgot the name and it's upstairs) - it was the closest to "hypo allergenic" I could find.
If you are getting the bumps after using lotion or shower gel you are most likely a bit allergic to those. In addition, a lot of people that have allergies get "bumps" on the back of arms. My allergist checks me for them each time I am in his office. I have found that regular body exfoiliation helps in addition to not skipping/forgetting to take my allergy medications. The Tea Tree Oil Body Wash from The Body Shop was really helpful for my mom.
It is good to see a dermatologist about those as stated earlier.
I've had a lot of luck with a line called Cera-ve. My dermotologist recommended it and I've been very pleased. I use both the cream and lotion, depending on skin needs. There's also a facial cleanser but I haven't tried that. Walgreens and Target both carry it.

Oh my gosh - thank you for this link! I was on accutane last year - From June until this past January, and while my face is phenomenal now, I notice these bumps on my upper arms alot more than I used to. I'm not sure if the accutane affected my arms some how, and short of going back to the derm, I have tried exfoliating and scrubbing and lotions with no luck.
