    It could be Keratois Pilaris, although sometimes KP looks like a rash. I have something like that too, it feels like hard little skin coloured bumps, almost like spots, on different areas of the body. Mine are on the backs on my arms, bottom and calfs. If it is KP it's harmless and will go away in time or it won't, theres a video on youtube by a dermatologist of how she gets it down a bit. If it itchs, becomes inflamed, turns into a rash or hurts go to the doctor. 

    I've heard of some people with fibro having skin problems but I've only heard of itchy, sensitive or dry skin as a symptom.
