Bumpy skin can be caused by keratosis pilaris, allergies, or skin infections. Treatments include moisturizers, topical medications, and laser therapy. A healthcare provider can recommend personalized options.
Bumpy skin manifests as rough, uneven patches often appearing on arms, thighs, or cheeks. Common causes include keratosis pilaris, which results from keratin buildup, allergic reactions, eczema, or infections. Symptoms may vary from mild roughness to inflamed bumps.
Diagnosis involves a physical exam by a dermatologist, review of medical history, and sometimes skin biopsies. Accurate diagnosis helps determine the underlying cause, guiding effective treatment strategies.
Personalized treatments include moisturizing regimens, topical retinoids, chemical exfoliants, and laser therapies. Lifestyle adjustments like gentle skin care and avoiding irritants can also reduce bumps. Consulting a healthcare professional ensures tailored care.
Preventing bumpy skin involves regular moisturizing, avoiding harsh soaps, and wearing breathable fabrics. Maintaining good hygiene and using gentle skin products can minimize flare-ups. Regular dermatologist visits enhance management.
