Keratosis pilaris: Keratosis pilaris is a common condition where one gets rough bumps on the back of the arms and/or anterior thighs. It is purely a cosmetic issue and there is no harm in having them. Unfortunately, there is no cure. Typically, the hair follicle gets plugged resulting in rough flesh- or pink-colored bumps. Some can be helped by exfoliating the skin (i.e. Loofah) and using an exfoliating cream.
