A simple solution to a simple skin problem

KP is a skin condition caused by the accumulation of dead skin (keratin) around hair follicles. The propensity toward KP may be inherited.

Signs and Symptoms
More often than not, you’ll feel KP before you see it because it is most commonly found over the outer upper arm and outer upper thighs. If you raise your arms and turn them slightly you’ll be able to see the rough, almost goose-bump-like raised papules. The fine bumps, typically the size of grains of sand, can be skin-colored or slightly red in appearance. The condition is generally worse in the winter and often clears in the summer. It is self-limiting and disappears with age. The doctor can diagnose the condition easily during a physical exam.
