Keratosis pilaris (KP) is a common skin condition, which appears as tiny bumps on the skin. It is a harmless skin condition, but it can be treated if the skin becomes itchy or is bothersome.

Keratosis pilaris commonly appears on the back of the upper arms and the front of the thighs. It is sometimes mistaken for small pimples or goosebumps.

Prescription lotions/creams or over the counter treatments can be used to reduce the bumps and help smooth out the skin experiencing keratosis pilaris.
