Below is a list of various information and tips regarding Keratosis Pilaris:
Keratosis Pilaris affects roughly half the world’s population but most people have never even heard of it. Although it is a harmless skin condition, unfortunately since not many know exactly what they have, it might lead to problems such as insecurities and depression.
Keratosis Pilaris is a skin condition that causes tiny acne-like bumps (they resemble goose bumps) from a build-up of keratin – a natural protein in the skin. However, the keratin blocks the hair follicles, leading to these bumps. This genetic condition is most commonly found on the upper-arms, but it can also be found in such areas as the face, thighs, back, chest and buttocks. Keratosis Pilaris is not contagious, it’s hereditary, and it isn’t harmful – just a nuisance. Getting rid of Keratosis Pilaris isn’t the easiest thing, but there are possible treatments for it.
