Keratosis Pilaris (Butlig)

Skin problem

After 5 days of using a different brand of soap, I'm starting to have this rashes in my face. It is like bumps that are small, skin-colored papules. I was so annoyed to see them in the mirror because it is getting worse! :( I searched what type of skin problem I am experiencing and I found out that it is called Keratosis Pilaris. 

Keratosis pilaris is a common skin condition in which a protein in the skin called keratin forms hard plugs within hair follicles.

Symptoms

• Fine, bumpy texture to skin over the outer upper arm and thigh or elsewhere
• Skin-colored bumps the size of a grain of sand
• Slight pinkness may be seen around some bumps

Treatment

Moisturize! Skin creams with medications containing urea, lactic acid, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, tretinoin, or vitamin D may be recommended by your physician. However, improvement often takes months and the bumps are likely to come back. (http://health.yahoo.net/adamcontent/keratosis-pilaris)

Treatment initially begins by applying non pharmacological measures; it focuses on a change in daily living habits that will help to better the condition. These initial treatments for keratosis pilaris are started by a simply exfoliation or softening of the dermis to begin the reduction of clogged pores.

Exfoliation is combined with a mild cleansing soap with gentle abrasive properties that do not dry out the skin but simply removes the dead skin cells. Another initial preventative method is to take tepid, brief showers and using a humidifier, especially during the winter months when low humidity dries out the skin.

The condition with significant inflammation may improve with the use of medium-potency emollient-based topical steroid preparations or bettr with our biological solution. Inflammation is usually reduced markedly by 7 days, at which point if a steroid is used it should be discontinued.

In more severe cases drug treatment for keratosis pilaris with Over the Counter agents consists of moisturizers, including the emollients and humectants, hydrocortisone, and keratin-softening agents (alpha-hydroxy acids [AHAs] and urea) will be prescribed.
