What causes keratosis pilaris? i have bumps on my skin that seem to pop up whenever i eat too much sugar,fried food, meat or wheat ? is it an allergy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Eczema.: Think of KP as eczema of the hair follicles. It is not an allergy. We treat it with the same medications that we use to treat acne - usually topical steroids and emollient lotions. If it worsens whenever you eat the things you mention, listen to your body and eat less of them.
