What is the non-itchy, non-scaly goosebumps like rash in my neck?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have been having goosebumps like rash on my neck but less dense and a bit bigger than a goosebump for almost a year now. It is non-itchy, non-scaly with skin color and without associated symptoms. It is harmless except the look. I have tried antifungal, anti-allergic, and antibiotics but did not help but taking corticosteroids clears it but comes back again.

Thanks.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

It looks like keratosis pilaris. In most cases, it is genetic in nature and there is no permanent cure. Urea-lactic acid based exfoliant can temporarily help.

I hope this information will help you.

Thanks.
