Are the bumps there all the time or most of the time? Then you may have Keratosis Pilaris. I have it on the back of my arms and on my legs. It is hereditary and you can't really get rid of it, but you can do a few things to make it better. Drink lots of water, use emollients or creams instead of lotions. Lotion has more water in it. I usually rub some eucerin on mine after the shower and then use my body creams on top of that. And get a good body buffer for the shower or scrub really good with a washcloth. Don't feel bad more than 50% of the population has it to varying degrees. Just keep your skin hydrated.

I believe they're the result of ingrown hairs. They drive me crazy. I think using an exfoliating sponge is helpful, though.

I have them, I get them primarily after I shave. They're more apparent on people w/ pale skin, and when you have razor burn. I just always use moisturizing shower gel and lots of lotion, but having a tan REALLY reduces the appearance.
