Medical Conditions - Chicken Bumps

Chicken bumps are otherwise called keratosis pilaris. It is a skin condition causing patches of bumps on the skin. These are usually dead skin cells affecting the hair follicles. They commonly occur in the upper arms, thighs, cheeks, or buttocks. They show other symptoms, such as dry skin with slight pink coloration around the bumps. It occurs commonly in patients with eczema, dry skin, hay fever, and obese persons. Exfoliation of the skin daily helps to improve the appearance. Lotions with Alpha-hydroxy acid (AHI) helps to hydrate dry skin.
