Have you ever experienced rough bumps like "chicken skin" on your arms or legs? If so, you’re not alone. Keratosis pilaris is a common skin condition, affecting nearly 50–80 percent of adolescents and 40 percent of adults and most common in families with a history of eczema, allergies and asthma.
Keratosis Pilaris looks like tiny, rough-feeling bumps on the skin that may be mistaken for small pimples. These bumps are actually plugs of dead skin cells that clog your pores or hair follicles instead of flaking off. The plugs appear most often on the outer side of the upper arms and thighs. Children may also have these bumps on their cheeks.
Keratosis pilaris is harmless and usually clears up on its own. In the meantime, if the itch, dryness, or the appearance of these bumps bothers you, there are products that can help improve the appearance of affected skin.
Applying a moisturizer keeps skin hydrated, minimizing and softening the bumps. Apply several times each day, especially after showering while the skin is still damp. Look for skin smoothing moisturizers with alpha hydroxy acid and glycolic acid—proven to gently exfoliate, improving the texture and appearance of the skin.
Significantly improves rough, calloused, scaly skin. This rich salve contains high strength 20% Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA) and Polyhydroxy Acids (PHA) to exfoliate severe dry skin. Contains beeswax, skin conditioning oils and Vitamin E to reduce skin roughness on contact.
Formulated to smooth dry, rough skin patches, enhance clarity and improve the appearance of fine lines associated with photodamage. This high strength yet lightweight lotion is formulated with 15% Glycolic Acid to reduce the visible signs of aging. Glycolic Acid is known to exfoliate the skin, enhance turnover and regenerate the skin’s surface appearance.
Self-help measures won't prevent keratosis pilaris or make it go away, but they may improve the appearance of the affected skin.
