Though I HAVE always thought it was 'Eczema'... I just never bothered to figure out what that is.

Fun stuff!
I think it's called keratosis pilaris. I have the same thing. Kind of like a really mild rash on the back of by upper arms. Had it my whole life, I've met quite a few people with the same thing. Doctors have told me it's common, and not to worry about it.
