Keratosis pilaris is a very common, harmless build-up of keratin at hair follicles that causes fine, rough, painless bumps - often described as "chicken skin" - on the upper outer arms, thighs, buttocks, or cheeks. It is often drier or more noticeable in cold weather. It is a good online-photo condition when the appearance is typical; painful, pus-filled, or spreading bumps suggest infection and should be seen in person.

如果治疗合适,医生可以将非管制药物处方发送到您的药房,并通过门户网站向您提供说明。

Is keratosis pilaris harmful?

No - it is completely harmless and very common. Treatment is cosmetic, to smooth the skin and reduce roughness.

Can it be cured?

It usually cannot be fully cured, but keratolytic creams (urea, ammonium lactate, or salicylic acid) and regular moisturizing reduce the roughness, and it often improves with age and in humid weather.

How long until it improves?

Improvement is gradual, usually over several weeks to months of consistent moisturizing and keratolytic use.
