I have the same thing, so I get where you are coming from. I use an exfoliating body wash, a sharp razor and shaving gel, and i always use lotion. it helps to lessen the bumps :)
Like Victoria said, you may have keratosis pilaris. I also have it on my legs, and arms. You might need to see a dermatologist. Try to drink lots of water, use lotions with Vitamin E and Aloe Vera in them. Make sure you moisturize oftenly. Try using Sisterskeeper.biz 's Dip moisturizer. It's amazing, it's helped with my keratosis pilaris. :)
Sarah - Have these bumps been there for a long time? Are they painful or itchy like pimples, or just sitting there and not going away? Like a couple of people have said, it could be a skin disorder called Keratosis Pilaris(most common on the thighs and arms). Unfortunately if that is the case, it will never be "cured" or "healed", but you can clear it up temporarily. DO NOT try to pop the bumps! :(

Is it razor burn? I know a lot of women get it including my mother. She uses a gel you can buy at any place that sells shaving items.:-)
