Keratosis Pilaris Treatment
Keratosis Pilaris is a common skin condition characterized by small, rough bumps on the skin caused by clogged pores and misaligned hair follicles. There are several treatment options, including exfoliants to remove dead skin cells, topical retinoids to unclog pores and smooth skin, and moisturizers to keep the affected areas hydrated. Long-term solutions may involve laser or microdermabrasion treatments for more severe cases.
