If your skin looks like this, here’s what it really means

Have you ever noticed small, rough bumps on your arms, thighs, or cheeks that look like goosebumps and don’t go away? You’re not alone: ​​it could be keratosis pilaris (KP), also known as “chicken skin.” It’s completely harmless, but understanding its cause can help you manage it naturally and safely.

🌿 What is keratosis pilaris?
Keratosis pilaris occurs when keratin, a protein that protects the skin, builds up and clogs hair follicles. This causes small, hard bumps, sometimes red, white, or flesh-colored, usually on the upper arms, thighs, or buttocks. It is not an infection or an allergy, but a skin reaction to excess keratin.

💧 What causes it?
✔️ Dry skin or lack of moisture
✔️ Genetics (often passed down from parents to children)
✔️ Skin conditions like eczema
✔️ Cold, dry weather that strips away natural oils. It’s more common in teenagers and young adults, but anyone can get it. 🌸 How to treat it naturally.
