Keratosis Pilaris: When Skin Feels Rough Like “Chicken Skin” •Keratosis pilaris is a common and harmless skin condition that causes small, rough bumps on the skin, often described as “chicken skin.”• It usually appears on the upper arms, thighs, cheeks, or buttocks.•It occurs due to buildup of keratin, a protein that blocks hair follicles, leading to tiny bumps and dry, rough texture. •It is more common in people with dry skin and may worsen in colder weather.•Symptoms include small, skin-colored or reddish bumps, dryness, and rough texture without pain or itching in most cases.•Although there is no permanent cure, the condition can be managed effectively. •Treatment includes regular moisturizing, gentle exfoliation, and use of creams containing urea, lactic acid, or salicylic acid to smooth the skin. •At Paavai Eye & Skin Care Hospital, Salem, we provide personalized care to manage keratosis pilaris and improve skin texture. •Consistent skincare is key to maintaining smooth and healthy skin.#KeratosisPilaris #SkinCare #RoughSkin #HealthySkin ✨
