Keratosis pilaris is a common skin condition that typically appears as small, rough bumps on the skin. It usually occurs on the back of the arms, thighs, and buttocks, but it can also appear on the face, cheeks, and forehead. The bumps may be red, white, or skin-colored and may be surrounded by dry, itchy skin. Keratosis pilaris usually does not cause any discomfort, but some people may experience mild itching or an uncomfortable feeling. Treatment for keratosis pilaris usually involves moisturizing the skin and using gentle exfoliation to remove the bumps. In some cases, medications such as retinoids or topical corticosteroids may be prescribed.

It typically appears on the arms, legs, and buttocks, and can be white or reddish in color. While it is not contagious, it can become itchy or uncomfortable in some cases. Treatment of keratosis pilaris usually involves moisturizing the skin and using topical exfoliants to reduce the bumps. In more severe cases, laser treatments or chemical peels may be recommended.

Keratosis pilaris (KP) is a very common skin condition which is characterized by the presence of small, white bumps on the skin. It is often mistaken for acne because of its similar appearance. KP is caused by an excess of keratin, a protein found in the upper layer of the skin, which can build up and block the hair follicles. The bumps are most commonly found on the back of the arms, legs, buttocks, and cheeks but can also appear on the forehead, neck, and upper chest.

KP is usually harmless and does not require any medical treatment. However, some people with severe cases may find it itchy, uncomfortable, or cosmetically unappealing. In these cases, treatment options are available. These may include topical creams or lotions, exfoliation, chemical peels, or laser treatments.
