2. Keratosis pilaris is a common, chronic,
usually painless skin condition that affects
a large portion of children and adults. It is
characterized by small, patchy red spots
that develop primarily around hair follicles
on the upper arms, legs and backside. The
bumps may also appear on the cheeks and
forehead.
The condition has no cure, but it is
considered harmless, with many patients
complaining that it is mainly a visual
nuisance. It is not contagious or caused by
bacteria, fungi or virus.

3. The exact cause of keratosis pilaris is
largely unknown, but it may be caused in
part by an overproduction of keratin in
the skin, or hyperkeratinization. Keratin
is the key substance that makes up the
majority of the outside layer of skin, as
well as hair and nails. When
hyperkeratinization occurs, an excessive
amount of keratin is generated and hair
follicles becomes clogged with small
particles of dry skin.

4. Anyone can develop keratosis pilaris at any
time. Though it seems to be most common
in children, it also affects up to 40% of
adults. Females are more susceptible, as
are those with a family history of keratosis
pilaris. Those patients who struggle with
chronic, severely dry skin or eczema may
also be more likely to develop the
condition. The frequency and appearance
of the bumps usually improves with age,
though some patience still experience
symptoms into their 50s and beyond.

5. There are a number of tips and treatments that are
known to minimize the appearance of the bumps
associated with keratosis pilaris. Generally, it is
important to keep the area moist, especially during
the cold winter months. Lotions that contain gentle
exfoliators like glycolic and salicylic acids can also help
to dissolve dry, dead skin cells and minimize the
appearance of bumps. Avoid using drying soaps and
detergents, and never use harsh scrubbing motions
while cleansing or exfoliating, as this could exacerbate
redness and cause irritation. If you are concerned
about the severity of your keratosis pilaris, you can
consult with your physician about more potent spa
exfoliating treatments such as chemical peels and
microdermabrasion.
