Keratosis pilaris is a common, harmless skin condition that produces tiny rough bumps on the upper arms, thighs, cheeks, or buttocks, often described as “chicken skin” or “strawberry skin.” The bumps form when keratin builds up around hair follicles and traps the hair beneath the surface.
Red, inflamed bumps usually on cheeks, upper arms, and thighs.
Skin-colored, non-inflamed rough bumps.
Reddish rash on the cheeks, often mistaken for acne or rosacea.
Rare form that causes scarring follicular damage.
