I have the same problem! And I have a cure!

I have a few business associates who are naturopaths (the easiest way to discribe a naturopath is a "doctor of nature"; they use supplements in the form of medications). One of the gals told me it is yeast in the body that causes those "bumps". A supplement called Jarrow Formula Bifibus Balance + FOS was recommended. Here's the link: http://www.jarrow.com/product/118/Bifidus_Balance_FOS

Bifibus Balance is a probiotic that will eat the extra yeast in your body and cause the bumps to lessen. Unfortunatly, I have not tried it. BUT, I will be the guinea pig for all y'all people with this bump problem. I'm so sick of them so I'm willing to do whatever.

My mom has these bumps on her arms, and unfortunatly I got it. All my life I have been so self conscious about this problem. All through out middle school and high school I would never wear short sleeved shirts (3/4th sleeves would be the shortest) or I would wear a sweater (even when its hot outside). Through out my teen years, these bumps prevented me from getting a boyfriend. I recall when I was 19, I attended my cousins wedding (as a bridesmade), one guy that I went on a few dates with was there. He saw my arms, and said "oh wow! Did you get sunburned?" . I just went with it and said, "yeah, the sun messes up my skin". Now a days, I've pinched the shit out of these bumps to the point where my arms look like a cork board.
I will keep you guys updated with the results of the supplement.

Here's a website that has lotions for "chicken skin", an article & FAQ's:
