Keratosis pilaris (KP) is a common, harmless skin condition in which keratin, a natural protein in the skin, builds up inside hair follicles, causing small rough bumps that resemble permanent goosebumps. It most commonly appears on the upper arms, thighs and buttocks.
It tends to run in families and is often associated with dry skin, eczema and atopic conditions. KP is not contagious and cannot be permanently cured, but it can be significantly improved with consistent treatment and maintenance.
Keratosis pilaris (KP) is caused by an overproduction of keratin that blocks individual follicle openings. This genetic condition is worsened by dry skin, cold weather and the absence of regular exfoliation. The bumps are keratin plugs, not infected follicles.
KP runs strongly in families and is considered a genetic condition rather than an acquired one
Dry skin worsens KP by reducing the natural shedding of dead skin cells that would otherwise clear follicle openings
Eczema, asthma and allergic rhinitis are all associated with a higher prevalence of keratosis pilaris
Low humidity in winter reduces skin moisture and worsens the appearance of KP significantly
There is no single solution for every skin. Your Skin Specialist builds a bespoke SDL Pathway using the most effective combination of therapies for your specific presentation.
At Sydney Dermal Lounge, we follow a structured four step process across all in-clinic services. Through our four-phase skin methodology, we aim for our processes to be made inclusive of all kinds of skin concerns and goals. Whether it’s a 12-month melasma pigment program, acne correction pathway, rosacea program, or other pathway to skin rejuvenation, we actively provide this methodology.
