Keratosis pilaris results from the buildup of keratin â a hard protein that protects skin from harmful substances and infection. The keratin forms a scaly plug that blocks the opening of the hair follicle. Usually many plugs form, causing patches of rough, bumpy skin. No one knows exactly why keratin builds up. But it may occur in association with genetic diseases or with other skin conditions, such as atopic dermatitis.
Keratinâa strong proteinâis a major component of skin, hair and nails. Keratosis results when excess protein buildup causes various types of growths on the skin. There are several causes, and several different types of lesions. Most types of keratosis have no identifiable cause, but genetics seem to play a role, according to Dr. Nili N. Alai of MedicineNet.com.
