What It Is:
Keratosis pilaris, often called “chicken skin,” is a harmless condition caused by excess keratin blocking hair follicles. It is most common on the arms, thighs, and cheeks.
What It Looks Like:
Small, rough bumps that feel dry or sandpaper-like.
Treatment:
Exfoliating treatments with lactic or glycolic acid, and regular moisturising with urea-based creams, help smooth the skin.
