I'm really worried about my teenage son's keratosis pilaris, which is different from goosebumps.

Please understand even if the photo is disturbing.

 

My son's keratosis pilaris is so severe that he is stressed, and I am very worried.

I thought it was chicken skin when I was young.

 

Keratosis pilaris is a condition characterized by redness and inflammation around the pores, with a rough, chicken skin-like appearance, varying in severity.

It is a hereditary condition characterized by keratin plugs embedded in the hair follicles and surrounding erythema, but whose influence is my son? It's not the mom or dad.

 

Can you see?

 

Keratosis pilaris mainly occurs on the outer sides of both cheeks, the upper parts of both arms, thighs, buttocks, and the torso.

My son also has serious issues with his arms, thighs, and hips.

Keratosis pilaris is not itchy or painful, but the main issue is that it looks unpleasant. It mainly occurs during adolescence and gradually disappears with age.

This is a photo of the thigh. The problem is that inflammation develops in this red area.

 

The causes of keratosis pilaris are said to be genetics and external environmental factors. Incorrect lifestyle habits and environmental factors such as excessive showering, habitual scrubbing, overuse of soap, and not using moisturizers influence the condition.

 

For a while, it was said that improving one's constitution was necessary, and it seemed to get better through herbal treatment, but teenagers don't listen... From eating habits to lifestyle habits, personal effort is needed, but it seems difficult for them to improve their own lifestyle habits.

 

Please feel free to leave lots of comments if you know of any products that help with keratosis pilaris treatment.
