Keratosis pilaris or goosebumps

Keratosis pilaris is characterized by the presence of keratin plugs in the follicular orifices and a varying degree of peripheral erythema.

It is not caused by cold as it is commonly known. It is generally hereditary, but it is also seen in obese, diabetic, kidney failure and other patients.

It mainly affects the arms, thighs, buttocks and chest.

Clinically, gray-white elevations are observed that leave the hair trapped, with redness around it. The skin is rough to the touch.

Patients report improvement during the summer.

Keratosis Pilaris Treatment

The best treatment that currently exists is the Erbium Lotus Laser.
It is fast, effective, safe, painless and immediate recovery, with a redness that lasts from 24 to 36 hours.
