Keratosis Pilaris

Keratosis pilaris (KP) is a common, benign skin condition characterized by small, rough bumps, often found on the upper arms, thighs, cheeks, and buttocks. This condition occurs due to the buildup of keratin, a protein that protects the skin, which clogs hair follicles. While KP is not harmful and typically doesn’t require treatment, many seek cosmetic solutions to improve skin texture.

Management options include regular exfoliation with gentle scrubs or chemical exfoliants containing alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) or urea, as well as moisturizing lotions that help soften the skin. Consistent use of these products can significantly reduce the appearance of bumps. If KP causes significant distress or does not improve with home care, consulting a dermatologist can provide additional treatments, such as topical retinoids or laser therapy.
