KERATOSIS PILARIS
Keratosis Pilaris is a common, harmless skin condition that causes small, rough, bump-like patches—often on the upper arms, thighs, cheeks, or buttocks. These bumps are caused by a buildup of keratin, a skin protein that blocks hair follicles.
​
Symptoms:
-
Tiny, rough bumps resembling “goosebumps” or “chicken skin”
-
Sometimes accompanied by dryness or mild redness
-
Usually painless but can feel dry or itchy
​​
Causes:
-
Genetics plays a major role—often runs in families
-
Commonly worsens in dry weather or with dry skin
-
Associated with other dry skin conditions like eczema
