Doctor explains KERATOSIS PILARIS (aka chicken skin) | Causes, treatments and AT HOME MANAGEMENT

In this video, Dr. O'Donovan explains key things you need to know about Keratosis Pilaris (KP), sometimes called "chicken skin" which is the condition where people have red bumps on the backs of arms. Keratosis pilaris is a harmless skin condition that causes dry, rough patches and tiny bumps, often on the upper arms, thighs, cheeks or buttocks. The bumps usually don't hurt or itch. Keratosis pilaris is often considered a common variant of skin. It can't be cured or prevented. But you can treat it with moisturizers and prescription creams to help improve how the skin looks. The condition usually disappears by age 30. Things to try at home: 1. moisturise your skin – ask a pharmacist what's most suitable for you 2. use mild and unperfumed soaps and bathing products 3. gently scrub your skin with a washcloth or exfoliating mitt 4. have cool or lukewarm showers and baths 5. pat your skin dry instead of rubbing it after washing LINK TO PURCHASE CERAVE moisturising lotion: https://amzn.to/44Shnbu CONTENTS (timestamps): 00:00 - Introduction 00:15- What is Keratosis Pilaris? 01:16 - Signs and Symptoms (photos)? 01:58 - Treatment options for Keratosis Pilaris 03:11 - Home management tips for keratosis pilaris.
