Keratosis Pilaris Treatment - Relief for "Goose Bumps"

A fluid secreted by land snails when stressed or injured has shown that it can help relieve keratosis pilaris quickly. It contains biological activators that enhance the skin's own growth factors and trigger the reproduction of brand new skin cells and the moisturizing molecules that hydrate the skin from within. It also contains enzymes that digest keratin plugs and open up clogged follicles. Plus antimicrobial peptides, and natural anti-inflammatory immune modulating glycoproteins that contribute to heal inflammed skin quickly.

Keratosis Pilaris is a common skin condition that is mostly found on the upper arms, buttocks and thighs. Dry skin cells that normally flake off the skin, get caught in the hair follicles and clogs them up. This forms little pimples that have a dry rough texture. They are not painful or itchy but aren't very attractive and are known chicken skin.

Keratosis Pilaris Treatment

Keratosis Pilaris occurs mostly in teenagers on the upper arms. However, babies and adults can experience this condition on their faces, upper arms, legs and buttocks. It's a genetic follicular disorder that looks almost like "goose bumps" and are rather rough to touch.

Primarily, it appears on the back and outer sides of the upper arms, but can also occur on thighs and buttocks or any body part except glabrous skin (like the palms or soles of feet).

Worldwide, keratosis pilaris affects an estimated 40 to 50% of the adult population and approximately 50 to 80% of all adolescents, varying in degree from minimal to severe. It can last for a number of years but usual begins to disappear at the age of about 30 years old.

Keratosis pilaris is a result of a process called hyperkeratinization. This is when there is an excess production of keratin (a natural fibrous protein of the skin, hair and nails) that builds up around the hair follicles. The skin becomes flaky and dry and if not removed from the skin it clogs up the hair follicles causing the small pimple like bumps that are visible on the skins surface.

Keratosis pilaris is more than anything else unattractive and seldom sore or itchy, but because the skin is dry in these areas it can become rather uncomfortable. Though people with keratosis pilaris experience this condition year round, it's during the colder months when moisture levels in the air are lower that the problem can become exacerbated and the "goose bumps" are more likely to look and feel more pronounced in color and texture.

There are several different types of keratosis pilaris:

keratosis pilaris rubra: is characterized by inflamed red bumps and become more pronounced during the colder moths when the skin is dryer.

alba:this is the typical rough, bumpy skin, usually not very irritating but are characterized by ugly looking gray white pimples that are not largely inflamed.

rubra faceii: mostly commonly occurs in babies and is located on the cheeks , almost like a red rash with horny red bump.

Other related skin conditions are characterized by lesions that occur on the back of the upper arms and the interior of the thighs and less commonly on the face and the rest of the body. These affected areas are covered extensively by the red bumps.

A fine hair may also appear in the papule or it may be found coiled up within the keratin plug in the hair follicles. The keratin plug cannot be removed with pressure like blackheads or pimples.

The main function of the skin is to protect the body from foreign harmful elements. This includes the process of shedding and renewing the skin cells that contain keratin, the condition known as dandruff results when the scalp sheds such cells. When the keratin cells are not removed or shed properly they form a plug in the hair follicles that cause these bumps. In severe cases, the pores can become clogged and cause acne. The clogged pores resemble pimple-like keratinized plugs surrounding the hair follicle.

Treatment of Keratosis Pilaris

Many people find keratosis pilaris bumps cosmetically unattractive and therefore seek treatment to get rid of this condition. Occasionally, in very severe cases they may become infected because of scratchy tight-fitting clothing or abrasive self-therapy. If infection occurs, treatment is necessary as the condition then becomes painful. The skin can become uncomfortably inflamed and is usually treated by a topical steroid therapy. However in some instances the skin condition can be difficult to treat as the pimple-like bumps are resistant to different treatment methods. The person suffering from this condition has to find the right method that works for their skin.

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.

These emollients help retain water that is already present in the dermis. Examples of emollients include mineral oil, petrolatum, and refined lanolin. Humectants help draw water into the skin to hydrate the dermis. Examples include glycerin, sorbitol, and propylene glycol. In almost all circumstances, it is vital that multiple agents are used in the treatment regimen, and the importance of compliance should be stressed. Application of the agents to damp hydrated skin, e.g., immediately following swimming, a bath, or a shower, is generally recommended. The use of products such as loofah sponges or bath brushes may also be beneficial in assisting the removal of keratin plugs.

Additionally, a bedtime application should always be part of the treatment regimen.

Its biological activity softens rough and dry skin, removes excessive keratin and thus unclogs pores. It is also anti-inflammatory, regulates the production of keratin and while it helps to attract moisture when first applied it also restores the skin's capacity to hold in moisture by accelerating the production of collagen, elastin and glycosaminoglycans from within the deep layers of the skin.

BIOSKINCARET cream aids the cells in renewing themselves and restoring the correct moisture balance. It helps to rid the skin of dead cells and replaces them with the new rejuvenated cells.

We recommend that you try this treatment by applying it to the affected areas twice a day. By simply following this daily routine you will gently rid the skin of dead skin cells and replace them with new skin cells that have the correct moisture balance to make sure that the condition does not return.
