Keratosis Pilaris
Description
A common skin condition, which appears as tiny bumps on the skin. The bumps look like goosebumps and can also be mistaken for small pimples.
These rough-feeling bumps are actually plugs of dead skin cells. The plugs appear most often on the upper arms and thighs. Children may have these bumps on their cheeks. Keratosis pilaris is harmless.
If the itch, dryness, or the appearance of these bumps bother you, treatment can help.
Causes
Keratosis pilaris is not contagious. We get keratosis pilaris when dead skin cells clog our pores/hair follicles.
When dead skin cells clog many hair follicles, you feel the rough, dry patches of keratosis pilaris.
Treatment Objectives
- Relieve the itch and dryness.
- Increase cellular turnover & diminish the bumpy appearance.
