This is Keratosis pilaris. A common, harmless skin condition that causes tiny rough bumps, mostly on the arms and thighs. Also called chicken skin or strawberry skin. Here's how to handle it: 1. Moisturise: Apply a thick, oil-free, fragrance-free cream at least 2-3 times a day. One application should be within five minutes after bathing on damp skin, and another after exfoliation (point 2). Prefer creams over lotions. Look for ingredients such as urea, lactic acid, shea butter, glycerin, or ceramides. 2. Gentle Exfoliation: Start with two to three times a week to remove dead skin and smoothen the bumps. Use mild chemical exfoliants like urea* 10–20%, lactic acid* 10–12%, ammonium lactate 12%, salicylic acid 2-3%, or retinoid creams (if prescribed). Apply them as directed and then apply moisturiser immediately after or within a few minutes. 3. Shaving or waxing can worsen keratosis pilaris. If hair removal is done, apply a cool compress for a few minutes to soothe the skin, then moisturise. 4. To avoid dryness, keep baths short, around five to ten minutes, use warm rather than hot water, and avoid over-washing as once daily is usually enough. 5. Avoid bar soaps because they dry the skin. Use a mild, fragrance-free cleanser instead. 6. Do not scratch, pick, or attempt to remove the bumps manually. Avoid harsh scrubbing. Do not use harsh loofahs, rough exfoliating gloves, or scrub the skin hard, as it irritates and worsens keratosis pilaris. 7. Wear soft, breathable clothing. Choose loose, comfortable cotton fabrics. Tight or synthetic clothing causes friction and can worsen the bumps. 8. Still not helping, visit a dermatologist. *Urea and lactic acid can function as both moisturisers and exfoliants, depending on their concentration. At lower concentrations, they primarily act as moisturisers, while at higher concentrations, as exfoliants.
