What Is The Cause For Redness In Abdominal Area And Arms ?

I am a freshman in college and I have begun to develop redness on my abdominal area as well as my arms. The redness is like slightly raised dots on my skin. I thought that this could possibly be from the shower water that they have here but I'm not sure. What do you think it is?
