My arms look like chicken skin and itches

How long ago did this start? Do you have it anywhere else on your body?

Have you ever had chicken pox?

Chris,

Although it would be hard to nail down your diagnosis from your 8 word entry, there is a common condition - keratosis pilaris - which results in itchy skin that resembles "chicken skin". There is no cure, but it can be controlled with medication. You need to see a dermatologist to be absolutely sure and to get the proper treatment. Until your appointment, check out this site:

It even has a few pictures so you can compare them with your own. Hope this helps...
