Generally, keratosis pilaris can affect all skin surfaces that have hair growth. If an area of skin does not have hair growth-such as the mouth, eyes, palms, and soles-it will not be affected. Although keratosis pilaris commonly occurs on the arms, thighs, and buttocks, it can also affect convex areas such as the cheeks. The upper back may also experience the effects of keratosis pilaris, but this is fairly uncommon. Rare variants of keratosis pilaris can also spread to the eyebrows, face, scalp, or even the entire body.
Generally, anywhere from 10 to hundreds of tiny, rough bumps are scattered in an affected area. Sometimes, however, keratosis pilaris may be limited to individual, scratchy bumps. Bumps may grow inflamed and lead to scarring, especially if they are located on the face. Some patients also experience itching or redness in affected skin areas, especially if the skin becomes dry or is exposed to harsh weather.
Moisturizing your skin regularly and exfoliating with a gentle, soap-free cleanser can often improve the look and feel of keratosis pilaris. Because keratosis pilaris is relatively harmless and has few complications, medical treatment is not usually necessary. If you are concerned about the appearance of your skin, or if you think areas of your skin may be becoming inflamed or irritated, consult your doctor or a dermatologist. He or she can provide an accurate diagnosis based on your symptoms and guide you through the best treatment options. Additionally, your doctor or dermatologist can suggest other at-home remedies like installing a humidifier in your home and can provide prescriptions to limit the effects of keratosis pilaris.
