I'm not a physician, but if they are tiny red dots, could be keratosis pilaris. Copy and paste this link into your browser:

I was suspicious that it could be Keratosis pilaris also. I have that and I HIGHLY recommend "DERMAdoctor KP duty: dermatologists moisturizing therapy for dry skin." I use it and I love it! You can get it at Sephora make up stores if your area has it.
