🍓Do you have kp aka strawberry skin or chicken skin ? Thank you to @skincare and @_genesisabigail for discussing this common topic and including me ⭐️ Keratosis Pilaris is very common and is not acne. Keratosis Pilaris is a frustrating but not contagious skin condition. It describes the buildup of keratin (protein) around hair follicles which can result in bumpy and rough patches of skin. This causes small, raised bumps to form on the arms, thighs, cheeks and buttocks. The reason for buildup of keratin is unknown, but often occurs alongside other skin conditions such as dermatitis and eczema. Where these are present avoid scratching, picking, and popping How long will it last? Good news is that the condition is not contagious and is thought to have a genetic component. The bad news is that it can last for years It is thought to be associated with dry skin or dry skin conditions such as atopic dermatitis. Treat the skin by using AHA/BHA such as glycolic, lactic and salicylic to help exfoliate the skin.
