sounds like keratosis pilaris. it's genetic. no definite cure. but some have scrubbed them off with cloth in shower over time. not too rough but rought enough to turn your arm red. hope this helps.

Scabies possibly. I had these once before, and they were the worst thing I have ever had in my life.
