Keratosis Pilaris treatment in Guadalajara

Because of its appearance and because it frequently affects children and young people, keratosis pilaris is a common reason for a visit to the dermatologist and the pediatric dermatologist. It is a benign skin condition in which the follicles become clogged and form small rough bumps.

How it looks: Small skin-colored or reddish bumps, especially on the backs of the arms, the thighs, and sometimes the cheeks, with a texture similar to goose bumps.

Things to know: It is not contagious or painful; it tends to be more noticeable with dry skin or in cold climates.

When to seek care? If the texture causes discomfort or questions about its nature, showing it during a visit allows you to confirm what it is and address any concerns.
