Common Skin Concerns: Keratosis Pilaris
Overview
Keratosis Pilaris is a common harmless skin condition that causes patches of rough bumps to appear on the skin. These tiny bumps or pimples are actually dead skin cells plugging hair follicles. They sometimes appear red or brown in colour.
The condition, in most people, goes away in adulthood. The exact cause of Keratosis Pilaris is unknown but can be genetic. It is more common in females rather than males.
Keratosis Pilaris is commonly on the upper arms, thighs, cheeks, or buttocks. These bumps don’t usually cause any discomfort or itching.
There is no specific cure but treatment to control or minimise symptoms may involve a range of skin care therapies.
Symptoms
- Itchy and dry skin
- Slight redness
- Rough feeling bumps
- Different colours depending on skin tone
