I had this when I was younger but for the most part, I don't anymore. I have some on my legs (back of calves) but the rest is gone. What works for me is exfoliating (like, daily) with an exfoliation mitt, shaving regularly (sloughs off dead skin), and moisturizing. Another thing that makes a big difference for me is using a cream-based shower gel, not a clear one. Clear shower gels make my chicken skin worse and more dry, the creamy ones seem to moisturize it and keep it happy. If it's really bad, you can buy 12% AHA cream at the drug store (for your face) and just apply it on the chicken skin areas every few nights. It helped mine a lot. I finally got it to the point where it's basically gone. Tanning or using a self tanner also helps to hide it, if you can't get it to go away entirely.
