Now that the weather is improving and we want to wear t shirts and shorts/skirts, we want our skin to look its best. Keratosis pilaris is a very common, harmless condition where small bumps appear on your skin. It happens when hair follicles become blocked with a build-up of keratin – a substance found in skin, hair and nails. Nobody knows exactly why keratin builds up, but the condition is thought to run in families. So if your parents have it, you may get it too.
Keratosis pilaris isn’t infectious, so you can’t spread or catch it. Although it can last for a long time there are things that may improve your skin.
