A member asked:
Do u know why people get something called stucco keratosis..if it is genetic how come other brother and sister don't have it. how to get rid of it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stucco keratosis: We don't actually know what causes the development of stucco keratosis. Presumably there is an alteration in the proliferation of the keratinocytes that leads to the lesion developing. Since some people get many of them, they may have a genetic propensity for the specific alteration to occur.
