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.

If you have dry skin, you're more likely to have keratosis pilaris.It's usually worse in the winter months, when there's less moisture in the air, and then may clear up in the summer. It often affects people with certain skin conditions, including eczema (also called atopic dermatitis).f you have dry skin, you're more likely to have keratosis pilaris.
