Keratosis pilaris worsens when it becomes dry.

Keratosis pilaris doesn't appear much during humid summers, but it worsens when the dry season returns. I try to keep my skin well-moisturized, but it's not easy. As winter passes, the keratosis pilaris gradually weakens, and I forget about it.

Pore strengthening syndrome is also called chicken skin.

People need to expel old cells from the skin through skin regeneration activities and produce new cells...

Keratin entering the epidermis blocks the pores, causing the protrusions to stick out and leading to keratosis pilaris.

In my case, it's genetic, and because my skin is dry, it's even worse.

Still, keratosis pilaris gradually decreases with age, and since I am not particularly sensitive by nature, I have just been living my life that way.

Keratosis pilaris doesn't cause any particularly painful or uncomfortable symptoms, so it's only a cosmetic issue... I haven't considered it a big problem and have been living well.

However, the problem is that it was also inherited by the child, and since dry skin is also hereditary, I am being blamed by the child.

The child is not as severe as I am, but it seems that their concern about appearance is causing stress due to keratosis pilaris.

Keratosis pilaris worsens when dry, so during the summer, especially on humid days like these, it completely disappears. As autumn approaches and the weather becomes drier, it gradually reappears, and in winter, along with dryness, bumps form, becoming red, rough, and protruding, leading to concerns about keratosis pilaris.

I'm having a dilemma about the season.

In the past, I used a scrub to remove the red bumps and also tried to scrub them with a loofah, but... all of these actions are considered the worst.

Prevention of keratosis pilaris

It is good to avoid drying out the skin.

Usually, they do not scrub frequently or take showers often.

And use lukewarm water instead of hot water for a short duration.

Do not perform the act of removing the protrusion.

Apply good moisturizing to prevent dryness.

It reduces dryness by controlling indoor humidity.

If the cosmetic concern becomes significant due to keratosis pilaris, the child should visit a dermatologist and receive treatment through scrub-like procedures.

For keratosis pilaris, dermatologists use peeling and laser treatments... I will look for more reviews to refer to.
