Keratosis Pilaris: Keratosis pilaris (kp) is an extremely common skin disorder. It usually runs in families and can be associated with eczema. It usually does not require treatment unless it becomes a cosmetic concern later in life.

Keratosis Pilaris: K.P. Is an extremely common benign condition consisting of small, rough "bumps" in characteristic areas of the body, particularly the upper arms and thighs. It is often noted with other dry skin conditions such as atopic eczema. As noted above this condition is harmless and most cases resolve by adulthood. Best bet is no soap or a soapless cleanser (cetaphil) and liberal application of lotion.
