A member asked:
Always had chicken like skin then few months ago there was a patch that started itching, scratched it so much it turned into a white patch. what is it?

Keratosis pilaris: There are many good treatments for this problem which has no effect on mortality. I think that scratching it with force may traumatize the skin and cause a reactive dermatitis.Don't wonder about it as that is your doctors job
