Key Points:
- Keratosis pilaris is a common skin condition characterized by rough, bumpy skin, often found on the backs of the upper arms, thighs, and sometimes cheeks.
- It is not caused by poor hygiene or contagious factors but is a genetic tendency related to how the skin forms and sheds keratin.
- The condition is generally painless and distinct from body acne.
- Treatment can be effectively managed at home using products like liquid exfoliants and body lotions that help prevent plugged follicles and remove dead skin cells.
- Dermatologist Dr. Aegean H. Chan provides expert advice on triggers, prevention, and recommended treatments for keratosis pilaris.
