Keratosis Pilaris Treatment with Nature's Most Complete & Balanced Biological Skin Treatment Lotion
Would you like to be without a trace of goose bumps, keratin plugs, blocked hair follicles, inflamed or redish rashes and blemishes, and visibly smoother, moist, toned up, healthier skin?
Keratosis pilaris, KP or also follicular keratosis, is genetic in origin but the precise causes of keratosis pilaris have not yet been determined. Still, many doctors believe that the cause of Keratosis pilaris is the overproduction of keratin inside the skin. This excess gets trapped inside the follicle, developing a bump.
In a medical sense there is no keratosis pilaris cure but the good news is most people present benign symptoms that can be relieved and treated. For many the condition is not a problem during most of the year but may relapse in winter if it is not taken care of with a good emollient product.
BIOSKINTREATMENT ™ is a 100% natural skin care emollient cream that yields a two fold effect on skin blemishes: (1) Purifies the cells & decongests the hair follicles as it helps to eliminate keratin plugs, debris, toxins, and all damaged skin tissues. (2) Favors regeneration of skin cells and all the structures of healthy skin: collagen, elastin and the molecules that retain several times their weight in water in the skin (true moisturizing).
Those effects clear keratosis pilaris bumps, redness, rashes, acne and all skin blemishes – even scars that you have lived with for years will become softer and less noticeable.
Keratosis pilaris is a genetic or hereditary skin disorder associated with excess keratin inside the hair follicle. The condition manifests by the appearance of coarse bumps on the skin and hence colloquially referred to as "goose bumps".
There are several different types of keratosis pilaris:
Keratosis pilaris rubra: red, inflamed bumps - Keratosis Pilaris Rubra Keratosis pilaris Alba: rough, white, bumpy skin - Keratosis Pilaris Alba Keratosis pilaris rubra faceii: reddish rash over the cheeks - Keratosis Pilaris Rubra Faceii Keratosis pilaris atrophicans a genetic clogging of the pores and follicles with keratin, which leads to the death of the follicle. After the follicle has died the hair falls down leaving behind an unsightly scar. - Keratosis Pilaris Atrophicans Ichthyosis vulgaris, also known as common ichthyosis or fish scale disease, is a skin condition resulting in scaly skin, especially on the arms and legs, in overgrowth (hyperkeratosis) of the skin on the palms and soles (sometimes the skin creases may crack during dry weather) It also results in keratosis pilaris (follicular hyperkeratosis) on the side of the neck, back of the upper arms, buttocks and/or thighs. Ichthyosis Vulgaris Keratosis follicularis, characterized by scaly, warty, crusted papules distributed mostly on the seborrheic areas of the body. Nail involvement is characterized by V-shaped nicking at the distal aspect of the nail bed, longitudinal red and white alternating bands, and subungual hyperkeratosis (buildup of scales underneath the nailplate). Mucosal membrane involvement may occur as white papules on the buccal mucosae, palate, and gingiva with a cobblestone appearance. Keratosis Folllicularis Familial keratosis palmaris et plantaris is characterized by extreme keratinization and desquamation of the skin of the palmar and plantar surfaces of the hands and feet or thickening of the palms and soles as a result of excessive keratin formation leading to hypertrophy of the stratum corneum. Keratosis Palmaris
Other skin disorders related to keratosis of the skin are:
Inverted follicular keratosis a benign usually solitary epithelial tumor originating in a hair follicle and occurring as a flesh-colored nodule or papule. Inverted follicular keratosis is believed to be an inflammatory variant of seborrheic keratosis. It commonly is found on the faces and sun-exposed areas of elders. Typically, this lesion is located on the upper eyelid. The lesions tend to be single and presents as a papule or nodule.
Seborrheic Keratosis. Seborrheic means greasy and keratosis means thickening of the skin. There may be just one or clusters of dozens. They are usually start off light tan, and then may darken to dark brown or nearly black. They may be oval spots a fraction of an inch across, or form long Christmas tree like patterns on the torso inches long. The consistent feature of seborrheic keratosis is their waxy, pasted-on or stuck-on look. The look is often compared to brown candle wax that was dropped onto the skin. They may be unsightly, especially if they begin to appear on the face. These are not contagious and do not spread. They have no relationship to skin cancer and do not pose a risk to health.
Before we tell you why our product BIOSKINTREATMENT is the most balanced and complete topical solution for white, redish or inflamed keratosis pilaris bumps, actinic keratosis scales and skin rashes, and why BIOSKINCARE is an excellent solution for many skin problems, please read first what our customers have to say:
“I ordered the BIOSKINTREATMENT last month and started to use it on my arms. I have keratosis pilaris and have already tried lots of other products but nothing ever worked. I'm very happy to have found this cream because my arms have never been as smooth before. My skin has cleared up and I hope it will continue to work so well ! I am ordering two for I would also like to try the cream on my stretchmarks. Evelyne Vogt. Reinach, Switzerland”
“Have been using the cream for two weeks now and I already see a difference in my skin after being diagnosed with keratosis pilaris. Thank you. Margitta Pelton. Florida”, USA
“It's working great on my cheeks diagnosed with Keratosis Pilaris Rubra Faceii! Thanks! Leslie D. Neils”. SD, USA.
“I am really enjoying your product, it has been helping my keratosis pilaris a lot, and helping to reduce the scars it has left. Thanks. Kristine Robinson”. UT, USA.
“After only one month of using the creme my keratosis pilaris scars are getting thinner, less redness, softer and lighter. We'll see how they keep progressing. I'm ordering the second jar right now. Serena Buschi”. NY, USA
“This product has helped my child's keratosis. Deborah P. Prestonsburg, KY, USA”.
“Great product!! Those pesty keratosis pilaris bumps are gone after using the product for 5 weeks, they dissapeared...” Rachel Berner. CO, USA.
“Helps better than ANYTHING we have tried for our daughter's keratosis pilaris condition. Steve Demarte. NC, USA”.
“Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I just received your product and immediately put it on. Believe it or not, within 2 hrs my Keratosis Pilaris is almost gone on my arms!!!! I've tried many different products over the years and have always been disappointed (they either didn't work at all or took forever to work and then stopped). I am absolutely amazed, thrilled, and elated thanks to your product! I really believe that it is worth its weight in gold! Thank you a 1000 times again”. Kris Taylor, UK.
“I have been clearing up a number of Actinic Keratosis with Folic Acid, B12, B17 and Aloe vera gel over almost 10 years. The Cream appears as though it will clear the remains up within 2-3 weeks. A significant lesion appeared last May 2004 as a result of the Aloe Vera etc treatment and although it has gradually been diminishing, there has been far greater change in 1 week with this cream than the last 9 months. Peter Melvelle”. NSW, Australia.
“Several years of going to dermatologists who used corrosive treatments on me for extensive actinic keratosis have not even remotely given me the results I've experienced from using the cream for just 3 weeks so far. I look forward to seeing the results I'll get after using it several more weeks! Suzanne H. Kahn”. GA, US.
“This cream works great. It seems so natural and potent. I put the cream on the back of my neck after cutting my braids off and it removed my bumps and scars within 2 weeks. I also use it on the little bumps on my forehead and it does wonders”. Chris Roberson. CA, USA.
“Thought I would let you know that after using BIOSKINCARE for two months the rhinophyma (acne rosacea) on my nose is now impossible to see but I can still feel a bit of it. My nose now looks like it did before I got the first rhinophyma in 1999. What is more my brother reports from New Zealand that after only two weeks his nose, which is much worse than mine, has lost much of its redness and this is only after two weeks use. I have been using the product for two months. The acne scars on my forehead have reduced dramatically and can now be concealed with only the Jane Iredale mineral powder. No longer need the camouflage cream. I put a mention of this on the Femail board yesterday because that is where I discovered your product. I will also drop a line to my dermatologist. Dorothea Glover. England”
“Hi, My name is Avyeon Campbell-Bellson. I've been using your facial cream for almost a year now. Its has been the best product on the market for razor bump treatment. I am even more confident with my modeling now. Thank you”. Saint Paul, MN, USA.
“I would like to thank all of you. I have only used this cream for a week and the red spots on my face have completely faded away. It's wonderful! I have tried almost everything and nothing seemed to work. But this cream is amazing! I had second thoughts about buying it but I'm really glad I did. God bless and thanks alot you made such a difference in my life! April Lee Robinson”. Maryland, USA
“I like this cream; seems to be reducing the scarring and smoothing the skin out. Skin seems to be plumper and more even in tone. It absorbs quickly and leaves the skin moist but not greasy. This is my second order of 2 jars. Nancy Pickering”. CA, USA.
“I first tried your product using only one jar to help with a chemical burn on scalp. It worked some, but then went back to my previous condition. However, after reading your site about how at least 2 jars are needed to have a noticeable improvement, I purchased 2 jars. And indeed, after finishing both jars, I have a noticeable improvement. Though I wish I could snap my fingers to have this problem go away, I guess I will have to be adequately satisfied with your incredible godsend of a product. For the first time in several years, I feel hope. Thank you. John Briscoe”. CA, USA.
“I can't believe how well your product works. When I ordered for the first time for acne scars I was skeptical about any results. Let me say that this is my 5th order. I have never ordered anything that has worked as well as the BIOSKINCARE cream. I had major acne scars and discoloration on my back. My back is almost at 90% recovery in 7 months of use. I estimate that 4 more jars should do the trick. My friend also tried a jar and now is ordering his own. Thank you very much. Kindest Regards, Ash Hassab”. Illinois, USA
“This is my second order of your product. I have had acne and the scars resulting from acne for most of my life. I have tried practically everything and had really lost hope that I would ever see any lasting results or improvement. I could see a difference in my skin almost immediately upon the first use of your product. The scars have not disappeared, but their appearance has softened. I am anxious to see what will occur with continued use. Thank You! Nancy Walsh”. South Carolina, USA
“I just finished my first jar of BIOSKINCARE and I noticed an improvement in the texture of my skin in the first 3 weeks. I had 2 extremely noticeable ice-pick scars on my right cheek from acne and they are much lighter and smoother now. Hopefully they will continue to fade with the use of this product. Steph Gottsch” SC, USA.
What is it in the skin treatment cream that achieves such results?
Are you ready to learn what may lead you to a lifetime of healthy skin? We guarantee you’ve never heard anything like it!
Our products are made with a serum produced by a living creature that thrives under the sun with its nude skin exposed and having the same collagen, elastin, skin cells, skin molecules & structures that human skin is made of.
This creature has been naturally endowed with the ability to produce a balanced and complete "skin care lotion" to protect, renew and deeply moisturize its skin. And to repair damage from UV solar radiation and free radical oxidation, pollution, environmental hazards and accidents. It also regenerates parts of its organs when bitten by birds (tentacles, eyes, mouth) as well as its shell when crushed or damaged.
The creature is common in most vineyards and gardens in Mediterranean climates. When it encounters any stressing event, such as a threat by insect predators, or the atmosphere full with oxygen and free radicals after hybernating inside its sheel where it has remained without much oxygen and its metabolism is at rest, it bubbles this lotion onto its skin copiously.
We have embodied nature's most complete, balanced and intense skin treatment solution, a biological compound of soluble proteins and complex acidic glyco (sugar) molecules created by live snails of the species Helix Aspersa Müller — collected pure from them while they secrete it copiously under stress but without doing any harm to the little snails — into BIOSKINCARE CREAM and BIOSKINTREATMENT LOTION.
And we make the fluid into an odorless white cream or lotion, or gel-cream for acne, with no alien, synthetic chemicals.
Powerful Ingredient helps to REGULATE the skin remodeling and scar removal process.
Topical application of the product on skin wounds and scars regulates or decreases keratin deposition and dermal fibroblast proliferation and reduces excess collagen production, and thus prevents and reduces keratosis and abnormal scarring.
The complexity of wound healing and scar formation parallels the complexity and synergistic effects on human skin of the substance live snails produce copiously when stressed or damaged to bathe their skin with it at will and achieve quick and scarless repair. Thus, it is no minor challenge to try to explain what specifically about the soluble proteins, glyco (sugar chains) molecules, enzymes, co-enzymes, peptides and oligoelements in it conquers these particular human skin issues or disorders.
Analysis of the fluid has determined that it contains activators of skin growth factors and antimicrobial peptides. Also present are natural anti-inflammatory and immune modulating proteins, enzymes, co-enzymes, glycoproteins, proteoglycans, and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs).
GAGs are a family of linear anionic polysaccharides that are typically isolated as proteoglycans linked to a protein core. The biological functions of proteoglycans, including the regulation of cell growth, signaling, inflammation, tumorigenesis, and interactions with pathogens result, in large part, through the interaction of the GAG chains in proteoglycans with proteins, such as growth factors and their receptors. GAGs also provide hydration and swelling pressure to tissues enabling them to withstand compression forces.
The biological ingredient in BIOSKIN products has several complex components that act in concert:
(1) proteolitic enzymes that degrade proteins that are no longer functional into their component amio-acids and releases then for use in the rebuilding of healthy cells.
(2) messenger molecules that not only identify disfunctional cells and differentiate them from the surrounding healthy tissues but also contribute to orchestrate the orderly layout of new collagen and all the structural elements of healthy skin;
(3) antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents that limit oxidative damage after tissue injury;
(4) stabilizers, cofactors, and/or coreceptors for:(4a) proteins produced by the human body that enable cells to communicate and effectively coordinate activities between one another (growth factors),
(4b) intracellular messenger molecules whose major function is to attract immune cells to sites of infection (chemokines), and
4c) regulatory proteins released by cells of the immune system that act as intercellular mediators in the generation of an immune response (cytokines).
It leaves your skin smooth, refreshed, soft and with use over a period of time it takes away all imperfections and blemishes: acne, scars, keratosis bumps, razor nicks and burns, actinic keratosis lesions, roughness, dryness, ezcema, dermatitis, the effects on the skin of radiotherapy for cancer, blisters, scrapes, cuts, and the list can go on and on... It spectaculary brightens and enhances the complexion.
Dissolves dead and dying cells on the topmost micron of skin (part of the outer layer that is no thicker than a sheet of paper, slowly and over a period of time) Digests damaged cells and keratin plugs within the dermis by the action of biological enzymes Stimulates the use of the aminoacids that the enzymes free and activates the fibroblast stem cells which favor the proliferation of new healthy connective tissues and all the structural elements of healthy skin Stimulates the formation of the extracellular binding between cells, thus improving skin strength, cutting down on fragility. Restores the capacity of the skin to remain hydrated by stimulating the biosynthesis of glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans, the molecules that give skin its capacity to keep in moisture. This helps to thicken the dermis resulting in a lessening of sagging and less fine lines and wrinkles. Neutralises free radicals by the action of its potent antioxidanta that also have an anti-inflammatory effect. Inhibits microbiological activity of dangerous, pathogenic skin bacteria, including acne. Regulates blood vessel formation and oxygenation within the capillaries in the skin contributing to its proper nourishment. Regulates dermal fibroblast proliferation and excess collagen, and thus prevents and reduces abnormal scars such as keloid and hyperthropic scarring and slowly but consistently gets rid of ice-pick scars or pitted acne scars.
Skin repair is enhanced by signalling the body to reproduce fibroblasts and "digest" damaged cells at the adequate rate.
The biological ingredient in BIOSKIN products increases the skin's regenerative processes - in addition to accelerating removal of dysfunctional keratin and damaged protein in the skin, it stimulates skin renewal without harsh exfoliation or the use of expensive laser procedures, and helps to produce a better skin renewal with milder exfoliation or various controlled skin damage methods. It also enhances the skin's natural regenerative responses by stimulating new capillary formation (angiogenesis), and the orchestrated biosynthesis of collagen, elastin and the water-holding proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans.
The beauty and genius of nature's most complete and balanced biological skin treatment lotion is that it first creates the equivalent of a NON TRAUMA exfoliation which means that your skin will react to the biological enzymes by activating its own biological response modifiers thereby interacting with your body's immune system and repair mechanisms to treat skin injuries (cuts, bruises, abrasions, acne lesions, scarring), dysfunctional tissues (keratosis, keloid and hypertrophic scars, dryness) and prevent immune-mediated inflammatory skin disorders (inflammatory acne, rosacea, eczema and most dermatitis reactions).
And it will do so in an environment that has also been provided with all the molecule messengers that are necessary for a) the recognition of those cells and tissues that are damaged and need to be "digested" by the enzymes and b) an orchestrated regeneration or biosynthesis of new healthy tissues.
When the enzymes "digest" or dissolve the topmost micron of skin (part of the outer layer that is no thicker than a sheet of paper, slowly and over a period of time) unlike all other such methods as glycolic acid peels, dermabrasion or laser resurfacing, there is no heat and blistering, so there is nothing to heal.
When you burn your skin, your body creates healing protein like collagen and elastin bands, pus, melanin, water, and antibodies (inflamm-aging) that rush to the aid of the trauma. In that case, there actually IS a burn to tend to...
However, during your BIOSKIN treatment, there is NOT any burn or trauma repair. The proteins that transport the repair elements to the epidermis and underlying stratum corneum are flooded with your own molecules and DNA. The new skin growth that is waiting to be exposed is not only smoother and tighter on its own, but it has just been soaked with those reparative proteins and water holding molecules that hydrated your skin and flooded to the surface to come to the aid of the 'NON TRAUMA EXFOLIATION'.
BIOSKINTREATMENT also treats the dry, scaly skin that is present when skin is affected by actinic keratosis or ichthyosis vulgaris by exfoliating and thus reducing keratin clogged pores. And it helps to remove ingrown hairs and treat folliculitis (barber's itch)
BIOSKINTREATMENT LOTION clears skin of keratin bumps and regenerates healthy skin
The product is made with the same base as BIOSKINCARE plus Salix Nigra (Willow) Extract and Amorphophallus Konjac Root Powder for a more potent keratolytic effect that cleans the excess horny material of the skin by degrading keratin plugs and dissolving debris, damaged, abnormal and necrotic tissues. It decongests the skin as the enzymes in the snail serum and the natural salicylic acid in willow bark extract help to 'digest' all damaged structures into their amino-acid and other components, which also favors the regeneration of all the structural components of healthy skin.
It leaves your skin smooth, refreshed, soft and with use over a period of time it takes away keratosis pilaris, actinic keratosis scales, controls acne and reduces and even vanishes all types of skin blemishes: razor nicks and burns, roughness, blisters, scrapes, cuts, and the list can go on and on...

Ultra exfoliate rough scars and dull skin with BIOSKINEXFOL
Home microdermabrasion cream. Contains the same natural ingredients in BIOSKINTREATMENT but infused with micro-crystals so that you may rub it with your finger tips to remove old, hard, and tough scars or stretch marks by a physical breakdown of the scar tissues. Best also for oily skin and aged skin, actinic keratosis scales and pitted acne scars. Not for keloids and not if your skin is still fragile (use BIOSKINTREATMENT for a few months first to strengthen your skin). The compounded action of the physical abrasion and the enzymes in the cream liquefy damaged proteins more thoroughly helping to release amino-acids to aid in rebuilding damaged tissues quickly. Results are not only immediate, but compound over time and do not trigger inflamm-aging of delicate skin tissues.

Biological Skin Treatment Ingredient
Our products contain a biological serum created by a living creature. It is packed with enzymes, coenzymes, glycoproteins, glycosaminoglycans (hyaluronic acid), proteoglycans, peptides and oligoelements that (a) dissolve keratin plugs that obstruct the hair follicles and cause hyperkeratosis or acne, and dissolves damaged dysfunctional skin tissues by a process of enzyme exfoliation when applied at least twice a day on the affected skin areas for a while, (b) regenerate healthy skin by promoting the proliferation of fibroblasts and supporting microcirculation in capillaries, (c) scavenge oxygen radicals and the damaging effects of excessive solar radiation and (c) keep microbes in check by the action of antimicrobial peptides secreted on the skin and within the hair follicles.
It keeps the skin moisturized, prevents skin infection, repairs wounds, promotes scarless healing, and renews the skin.
The collection of the biological ingredient in our products is done by using a humanely method that inflicts no damage upon the little creatures from which we gather the biological compound that can not possible be replicated in even the most sophisticated laboratory.
Skin Treatment Products
BIOSKINTREATMENT ™ 
Clears keratosis pilaris and actinic keratosis scales by the action of two ingredients: the enzymes in a biological serum and salicylic acid as is naturally in willow bark extract. As the keratin and damaged cells are broken down into their amino-acid and other components they are used for the regeneration of all the structural components of healthy skin. Product is in a 2oz pump bottle. Price is $60 and you get a 20% discount when you order more than one.
BIOSKINCARE ™ 
A deeply moisturizing and pure natural skin care cream that dissolves keratin plugs and debris and unblocks clogged pores allowing for the outflow of sebum to the surface where it lubricates and protects the skin instead of causing injuries to the cells lining the follicles and an inflammatory reaction of the body to repair the damage. Triggers the rebuilding of damaged and dead tissues and restores the capacity of the skin to hold in water from within. Rrestores the lipid wall of our skin thereby impeding the penetration of allergens and toxins. It induces the production of antimicrobial peptides on the surface of the skin and within the skin follicles contributing to control microrganisms. Signals the body it is being taken care of and does not need to fire its immune responses and overly react to minor injuries thus avoiding the loss of tissues that characterizes deep scars. Avoids scarring and diminishes scars from accidents, surgery, stretch marks, hypertrophic and keloid scars, by the breakdown of abnormal, dysfunctional and damaged tissues into their amino acid components while stimulating their replacement with new healthy skin structures. Vanishes redness and dryness, relieves eczema and dermatitis, reduces psoriasis scales and most skin blemishes. Repairs skin damaged by glycolic peeling and other chemical peels, dermabrasion or laser resurfacing. By strengthening the skin it relieves the uncomfortable side effects of retinoic drugs such as Accutane that thin the skin. Reduces and heals skin fragility and is a potent antioxidant thus helping to reduce the damaging effects on the dermis of sun burns and too much exposure to solar radiation. It also helps to heal blisters, bruises, wounds, and the consequences on the skin of ionizing radiotherapy or radiodermatitis. 50 gram (1.76 oz) jar = $69.98 and for two or more 20% off.
BIOSKINEXFOL™
A home microdermabrasion cream with micro-crystals that breakdown hard, rough and old scar tissues, and allow for a deeper penetration of our natural skin moisturizing and regeneration complex contained in the microdermarasion cream.120 gram (4 oz) jar = $89.-
BIO STRETCH MARK CREAM™
Prevents stria or stretch marks, strengthens skin, firms sagging breasts and body areas and reduces cellulite. It works for newly formed stretch marks and scars, while BIOSKINEXFOL works best for old, rough and raised marks. The base cream is the same as in BIOSKINTREATMENT, in a more economical container, with 4 oz. but for use only on the body, not on the face, because it contains a slightly higher proportion of the biological complex which results in an invisible film that retains in moisture by occluding the area where it is applied but may feel a little tacky on the face. 4 oz (120g) = $79.98.-
BIO SKIN REJUVENATION™
Same cream base and enzymes as in BIOSKINTREATMENT to "digest" or dissolve blemishes, speed skin turnover and tighten skin, and two added ingredients. A human growth factor peptide, derived from the melanocyte-stimulating-hormone which blocks melanin synthesis, and reduces the formation of unwanted pigmentation, allowing control over skin tone and brown spots. And a natural plant extract that takes away dark pigmentation. Leaves skin bright and refreshed! 50 gram jar = $79.-
BIOSKINCLEAR™

An oil free moisturizer gel for acne, rosacea and facial scars. Heals lesions to the cells lining the hair follicles which is the root cause of inflammatory acne. Removes dead cells, unclogs sebum canals and dissolves scar tissues by enzymatic hydrolysis, without peeling. Promotes the proliferation of antimicrobials that control acne bacteria. Boosts reproduction of glycosaminoglycans, the molecules that retain water, thus truly moisturizing the skin from within. Tells the body it is being taken care off and can moderate an otherwise extreme inflammatory reaction that may end up destroying healthy skin cells and creating crater like scarring and not only the acne bacteria. 50 gram (1.76 oz) airless pump bottle $59 and 20% off for two or more.
Keratosis Pilaris
Worldwide, KP affects an average of 4 - 5 out of ten adults, but it is a majority during the adolescent years. Even though it is linked with a female condition, the population distribution is almost even, but hair covers the flaws over male skin, so it’s less noticeable. Varying in degree, cases of Keratosis Pilaris can affect a minimum part of the dermis or extensive areas.
Keratosis pilaris flaws or bumps often appears on the back and outer sides of the upper arms and can also occur on the thighs and tops of legs, flanks, buttocks or any body part except glabrous skin (palms or soles of feet). Less frequently, these tiny bumps appear over the cheeks, so many people confuse them with acne.
Many people with keratosis pilaris do not know they have it, especially because it may not be severe, hair might dissimulate it, or you may confuse it with another condition such as acne or atopic dermatitis.
While KP resembles goose bumps, it is diagnosed by a dermatologist because of the appearance of small rough bumps covering a specific area of the dermal tissue. In most cases, this condition will be diagnosed without testing, but to be sure, a biopsy is the best way to go. This procedure is almost painless; the doctor will scrape of some skin and extract a bump. The results, if suffering from KP will be an inner surplus of a self organized protein known as keratin. Keratosis pilaris occurs as excess keratin, a natural protein in the skin, accumulates within the hair follicles creating hard clogs (process known as hyperkeratinization).
Although the clogging seems to be a problem, this has only a cosmetic consequence, the condition most often appears as a propagation of tiny hard bumps that are hardly ever sore or itchy. Though people with keratosis pilaris suffer this condition year round, it’s throughout the colder months when moisture levels in the air are lower that the problem can become exacerbated and the skin is apt to look and feel more distinct in color and texture (some say it is as “chicken skin”).
There is no known cure for Keratosis pilaris in the sense of not experiencing it ever again after certain treatment or therapy. Some improvement or even disappearance of the condition may be experienced with age; however, some people will show signs of keratosis pilaris for life.
Treatments are mostly symptomatic and must be repeated. Regardless, exfoliation by enzymes or physical exfoliation, moisturizing creams, lac-hydrin, and medicated lotions with alpha-hydroxy acids or urea may be used to momentarily improve the appearance and texture of affected skin.
Scratching and picking at KP a bump is a no-no, they can redden, bleed and become infected. If this happens, you may be left with an unsightly scar as a reminder. Wearing loose clothing can also help lessen the flaws, as constant chafing from clothing (such as tight fitting jeans) is parallel to repeatedly scratching the bumps.
What is ammonium lactate?
Ammonium lactate is a combination of lactic acid and ammonium hydroxide. Ammonium lactate is a moisturizer. Ammonium lactate is used to treat dry, scaly, itchy skin: the symptoms of keratosis pilaris.
