What is Keratosis Pilaris?
If you’re observing that there are small red bumps on the buttocks that are neither itchy or painful, you may be experiencing a skin condition called keratosis pilaris (KP). Keratin is a component of the skin that helps provide it with protection. Keratosis Pilaris is a generally harmless skin condition that occurs when the body’s natural keratin production interferes with the follicular opening. The underlying cause of keratosis pilaris is currently unknown, although it does appear to be genetic, typically running in families. If you do have keratosis pilaris on the buttocks, you’ll likely see it elsewhere on the body, too. The arms and legs are typically the most common areas to have KP.
For treating the look and feel of bumpy skin associated with keratosis pilaris, Dr. Green typically recommends Glytone’s KP Kit. The kit includes an exfoliating body wash containing glycolic acid with a loofah in order to help loosen the keratin itself. The kit also contains an exfoliating body lotion that can be used after exfoliation with the body wash. The American Academy of Dermatology also recommends treating KP by gently exfoliating with a loofah or rough washcloth. Keratosis Pilaris can also be treated effectively with lactic acid, salicylic acid, urea, alpha hydroxy acids, or retinoids. Some recalcitrant Keratosis Pilaris have even been treated with laser therapy and microdermabrasion. Keratosis Pilaris is a chronic skin condition, but for many patients, they may outgrow this common skin condition.
