Keratosis Pilaris
Keratosis pilaris (KP) is a very common genetic follicular condition
that is manifested by the appearance of rough bumps on the skin and
hence colloquially referred to as "chicken skin" as well as "meat
bumps". It most often appears on the back and outer sides of the upper
arms (though the lower arms can also be affected), and can also occur on
the thighs and tops of legs, flanks, buttocks or any body part except
glabrous skin (like the palms or soles of feet). Less commonly, lesions
appear on the face and may be mistaken for acne.
