Haute Beauty:<\/em> What is Keratosis Pilaris?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Dr. Ariel Ostad:<\/strong> Keratosis Pilaris is a common skin condition that can cause dry, rough patches and tiny bumps. The bumps typically do not hurt or itch. Keratosis Pilaris is caused by a buildup of keratin, the protein that protects skin from infections and other harmful things. The buildup forms a plug that blocks the opening of a hair follicle. However, the cause of the buildup is still medically unknown.<\/p>\n

HB: Which skin types usually develop this skin concern?<\/h3>\n

AO<\/strong>: It often affects people with certain skin conditions<\/a>, including eczema (also called atopic dermatitis). Oftentimes, Keratosis Pilaris appears in children and teens with the condition improving and even disappearing as they get older.<\/p>\n

HB: Where does Keratosis Pilaris typically show up?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

AO:<\/strong> The rough patches and tiny bumps typically appear on the upper arms, thighs, cheeks or buttocks.<\/p>\n

HB: How can this skin concern be treated?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

AO:<\/strong> At this point in time, there is no cure for keratosis pilaris. There are, however, moisturizing lotions and creams that can help your skin look and feel better. A variety of these are available over the counter, but you'll need a prescription from your dermatologist for stronger versions to treat more severe cases.<\/p>\n

HB: What products would you recommend to help treat this skin concern\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

AO:<\/strong> I recommend using a moisturizer for more mild cases, and for more severe cases I recommend seeing a dermatologist to get a prescription medication. We have a great\u00a0A.H.A Dead<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>Skin Cream<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span>in our skincare line that is designed to exfoliate and even skin tone by removing the dead skin that clogs pores. It also contains green tea extract, a mixture of xanthine compounds, which helps reduce dryness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
