Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
From the description it seems you could be having keratosis pilaris. Other possibilities could be lichen planopilaris or lichen spinulosus.
Use a good emollient preferably urea based for few days over affected area. Also use a salicylic acid ointment over the lesions. Hopefully in few days, it should resolve.
Please meet your dermatologist for prescription.
Take care
