2. Is Hyperkeratosis Pilaris a more advanced form of the Keratosis
Pilaris condition?
There is a lot that goes into naming a condition, and without a proper
context one could assume the worst or an extreme version of their
ailment. This is definitely the case when describing the term
Hyperkeratosis Pilaris. You would not be considered foolish to assume
that hyperkeratosis Pilaris is a more advance form of the Keratosis
Pilaris condition. It is definitely not. But, those doctor and their names.
Wouldn’t it be nice to keep it simple? After all, Keratosis Pilaris is
already a complicated name in the first place.
To end the confusion, Hyperkeratosis Pilaris is Keratosis Pilaris,
although stated with the Hyper in front of it. Think of it as another name
given for the condition, like chicken skin, chicken bumps, or KP for
short. Its story reads the same as KP. It is a genetic disorder and
extremely common. It manifests itself as small rough keratotic particles
and is described as chicken skin or chicken bumps. Sufferers tend to
have an overabundance of keratin in their system, which causes
keratinization of hair follicles of the skin.
Overall, Hyperkeratosis Pilaris just like KP, is described as a condition
of childhood and adolescence. I always found this ironic since the
condition tends to become more severe during puberty and many adults
globally suffer from the condition. Dry skin conditions tend to bring on
more frequent outbreaks. This is a point I touched on in “What Causes
Keratosis Pilaris?” It is also described and associated with other dry
skin conditions, such as Ichthyosis Vulgaris and Eczema. Asthma
although less common has also been associated with Hyperkeratosis
Pilaris.
