Question:

I have Keratosis Pilaris on my arms. What is the cause of this to appear in my early 30's?


Answers:

Hi Tina F.
Keratosis Pilaris. Common among teenagers, keratosis pilaris is characterized by patches of tiny, red, kernel-hard bumps on the backs of the arms, shoulders, buttocks and the front of the thighs. Occasionally it occurs on the cheeks as well, with numerous bumps in the affected areas. Unlike acne, keratosis pilaris is usually painless and feels spiny to the touch. It tends to be more severe during the winter months when humidity is lower, and is more prevalent in arid climates. For your 30's old it is wholly possible problem. The cause - most likely hormonal changes.

Tina, I wants that you knew, it is always better to get diagnosed by a doctor rather than beginning self-treatment.
