Red Dots on arm/chest

Hey, for about 2 years now on and off i have a lot had these really little red dots(pen head size) that appear on the inner sides of my arms, mostly from the front sides of my arm pits to the inner side of my elbows. Then at the same time on my chest i get bigger red dots(dime size) and they kinda burn and itch, but mostly burn.
This only happens when i get out of the shower, and it doesnt seem to happen all the time.. i have made it a habbit to run cold water before i get out because it seems to not happen as much and if it does it isnt as bad..
All together they only last for about 2 mins after i get out of the shower then i dry off and a min later they are gone, but they are pretty annoying and i was just wondering if anyone has ever heard of or had something like this and knows what it is and how to make it stop..

Anything helps, thanks!

maybe you are allergic to something in the water?
Have you gone to a dermatologist? If they go away, probably not a big deal.

Do you get it any time you are in contact with your water at home? Or is it only in the shower? If only in the shower, I doubt you would be allergic to something in the water. Check what's in the soap you use. I had to switch shapmoo when I was constantly getting a rash on my back, neck and chest in the shower. I'd also get it often wherever my hair touched my skin. Check your shampoo and conditioner, if you use it. hint hint...my username. It is used in a lot of bath products and irritates some people, like me.
