For some this skin condition is temporary since Keratosis is a common thing to be seen among teens. For others Keratosis Pilaris or aka chicken skin is a "disease" that is transmitted genetically and uncurable. Dermatologists today are still figuring out how to cure this condition. However, there are medications and creams that can reduce the bumpy appearance. For example, eating certain foods containing omega 3 and fish oils can help cure this disease. Other solutions include skin tanning, laser treatment, chemical exfoiliation, coconut oil, baby rash creams, and so on. Consult your local dermatologist for more suggestions. Hope this helps!

What is keratosis piliaris?
Its a hereditary and genetic disease that makes your hair follicles plug the pore, and making a well of a natural substance called Keratin. Try AmLactin, that usually makes them less noticeable. It cannot be removed or cured, and it may go away as you grow. You can get AmLactin at any dermatology website or office. Good Luck!
What are the red and white small bumps on your entire arm and upper leg?
Answerif that is what it is, regular exfoliating will get rid of it. AnswerA friend who is also a nurse told me that these bumps arise when your body is lacking in the Omega-3 Fatty Acids. I have been eating avocados, which have the Omega-3 fatty acids, regularly and have noticed vast improvement though the rash is still there. I plan to supplement with Flaxseed oil. Fish is also rich in the Omega-3 Fatty Acids.AnswerMy 5year old son has those bumps on his face and body. I started giving him fish oil and his face no longer has bumps along with his back.AnswerYou could also try bio oil, or some cheaper version. My mum uses this on hers and it works really well :)

Those probably aren't actually pimples, they just look like them. Those are actually caused by dry skin flakes building up around your pores. Try putting some moisturizer on your limbs before you go to sleep for the night. ..... What you're describing sounds like keratosis pilaris. Keratosis pilaris (ker-uh-TO-sis pil-AIR-is) is a common skin condition that causes rough patches and small, acne-like bumps, usually on the arms and thighs. Though you may not like the sandpaper-like appearance of your skin, keratosis pilaris isn't serious and doesn't have long-term health implications. Keratosis pilaris can be frustrating because it's difficult to treat. Prescription medications and self-care measures can improve the appearance of your skin. Note: regular exfoliation and use of body lotions does help lessen the appearance. Keratosis pilaris results from the buildup of keratin - a hard protein that protects your skin from harmful substances and infection. The keratin forms a scaly plug that blocks the opening of the hair follicle. Usually many plugs form, causing patches of rough, bumpy skin.
