First you need to provide further information, where in your arm? Does it hurt? Does it itch? What have you tried to get rid of it? How long have you been having it? When did it start showing up? All these are important information to provide when seeing a doctor or asking a health care provider which you should do to truly determine what is causing your condition as well as learn ways to prevent/treat... but here is my best answer...
People often describe localized swollen areas on, or under, the skin as lumps or bumps. While bumps on, or under, the skin may result from conditions that give rise to a skin rash, many other conditions can result in solitary raised lumps on the skin. Infections, tumors, and the body’s response to trauma or injury can all lead to lumps or bumps that appear to be located on or underneath the skin.
Depending upon the cause of skin lumps or bumps, they may vary in size and be firm or soft to the touch. The overlying skin may be reddened or ulcerated. Skin bumps may or may not be painful or tender, depending upon the cause of the lesions.

Go see a dermatologist- they can help methodically rule out factors. Or visit the following website. I myself have eczema/atopic dermatitis, and I have recommended this website to just about everyone I know with skin problems (which seems to be just about everyone nowadays!).
It might an allergic reaction to something you've eaten, a change in laundry detergent, perfume, an increase in stress, or dietary change, even a change in weather, temperature or humidity.
Or maybe its Kerartosis Pelaris? Best check with a real doctor.
Good luck.

Are they itchy? I have a skin condition on my arms similar to yours. I find it very itchy when it acts up and the more I scratch, the worse it gets. I went to my Dr. and he gave me Dipropaline Glycol for a topical treatment. I find it works really well. Clears it up and keeps it at bay for a while. When it flairs up again, the sooner I use the cream, the faster it goes away.
