Commonly found on the upper arms, thighs, cheeks, or buttocks, keratosis pilaris is a harmless skin condition that results in dry, rough patches and small bumps that are usually painless and itchy.
If you want to improve the appearance of your skin, you can treat keratosis pilaris with moisturizers and prescription creams. The condition typically goes away by the time you reach the age of 30, and it’s frequently regarded as a variant of normal skin.
Causes–Keratosis pilaris is caused by an accumulation of keratin, a hard protein that shields skin from contaminants and infection. Usually many plugs form, resulting in patches of rough, bumpy skin.
Although the exact cause of keratin buildup is unknown, it has been suggested that it may be linked to genetic disorders or other skin conditions like atopic dermatitis.
Symptoms-Keratosis pilaris can affect anyone, but young children are more likely to develop it.
Painless little bumps that are usually found on the upper arms, thighs, cheeks, or buttocks
Bumpy areas of skin that is dry and irritated
Making things worse when the humidity drops due to seasonal changes and skin becomes drier
Bumps like sandpaper that looked like goose flesh
