Keratosis Pilaris happens when keratin, a protein that protects your skin, builds up and blocks your hair follicles. This causes small, hard bumps — sometimes red, white, or flesh-colored — usually on the upper arms, thighs, or buttocks. It’s not an infection or allergy, just your skin reacting to extra keratin.
💧 What Causes It?
✔️ Dry skin or lack of moisture
✔️ Genetics (it often runs in families)
✔️ Skin conditions like eczema
✔️ Cold, dry weather that strips natural oils
It’s more common in teens and young adults, but anyone can have it.
🌸 How to Treat It Naturally
While there’s no “instant cure,” consistent care can make your skin smooth and soft again:
1. Exfoliate Gently:
Use a mild scrub or loofah 2–3 times a week to remove dead skin cells. Avoid harsh scrubbing — it can make the bumps worse.
