Garden of Wisdom understands Keratosis Pilaris as a common skin condition that causes small, rough bumps to appear on the skin, particularly on the back of the upper arms, thighs, and buttocks. This condition is caused by the buildup of a protein called keratin, which clogs the hair follicles. This buildup forms a plug that blocks the follicle's opening, forming small, raised bumps. The bumps can be skin-colored, red, or even slightly inflamed. They may feel rough or dry to the touch but don't typically cause itching or pain.

Keratosis Pilaris is often more noticeable during the winter months or in dry climates when the skin tends to be drier. It can also be associated with other skin conditions like eczema or dry skin.

While Keratosis Pilaris isn't a serious medical condition and doesn't require treatment, many people seek ways to manage its appearance. Gentle exfoliation and moisturizing can help improve the condition by removing dead skin cells and keeping the skin hydrated. Mild cleansers and avoiding harsh scrubs or excessive scrubbing are recommended to prevent further irritation. In some cases, dermatologists may prescribe creams or lotions containing ingredients like salicylic acid or urea to help reduce the buildup Exfo 15% of keratin and improve the appearance of the skin.
