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.
Keratosis is an excessive growth of keratin, a skin protein, on the skin. There are a variety of causes which lead to several different types of keratosis. The three most common types of keratosis are keratosis pilaris, actinic keratosis, and seborrheic keratosis. There are many others, most of which are rare or have an inherited (genetic) basis. Keratosis pilaris (KP, follicular keratosis, chicken skin) is a common skin complaint that causes small, acne-like goose bumps.
