Bumps on arm and leg
I have hives like bumps from my shoulder covering the entire arm on both sides. They had been since 2 years but have become severe since the past month.
I have encountered similar bumps on my leg post waxing which mostly seems due to trapping of hair follicles very recently.

The ones in the hands look like macular amyloidosis. But need proper history to confirm. The ones in the legs are different.
Next Steps
Kindly consult online for taking proper history and making a more accurate diagnosis.
Health Tips
Waxing is a traumatic process which can lead to erythema and infection. Go for laser hair reduction instead.
