Sounds like KP to me too. Dry body brushing may help with this.

Keratosis Pilaris is characterized by small red bumps (sometimes with white in them) that are raised on the skin like goose bumps. They are very similar looking to pimples, but aren't. Sometimes they itch, but that is unusualy. These bumps only appear in certain places. Most commonly they appear on the back of the upper arms, and the side and front of the upper thighs

don't rub do small gentle circular motions

they aren't a problem really..we all get them, it only becomes a problem if there is a larger area of the body affected by them ,and yes and a good treatment as joe has suggested which is dry skin brushing that helps(it helps mine) but use a soft natural bristle body brush not a synthetic one ,you can get them from the body shop.
