Answers: Hey Mary.
I have the same problem-- SO ANNOYING.
The condition is set as keratosis pilarsis, and arises when your skin produces too much keratin (a protein) and it plugs up your hair follicles.
I spent a lot of time trying to fix this problem surrounded by high school- I tried different creams and exfoliators. But I finally found something that works. A cleanser for oily skin by NeoStrata. It's call Oily Skin Solution, 8AHA. It's not the cheapest, but it totally works. The key is, it's got glycolic tart in it. So look for a cleanser that contains that.
Use it once a day for a week, next twice a day after that. In about two to three weeks you'll perceive the bumps clear up quite a bit. It's not 100% gone, but it's really made a difference.
I also heard from my esthetician that consumption too much sugar (even breads and pastas) can make your skin more likely to produce extra keratin. Just an additional reason to eat glowing, I guess!
Try these things, and you'll be in a tank top contained by no time.
Pray and tell Father God in the first name of His son Jesus Christ to take away all those bumps, out of you, and that you want to be heal. Just try, you have nothing to loose by trying and believe it.
Because of my expectation, I do that and I have seen heaps results, and miracles. There is nothing impossible for God. He loves you.
Be blessed
