Keratosis pilaris, often referred to as ‘chicken skin’, is a harmless skin condition where clusters of tiny, painless bumps appear on the skin. These bumps are formed when dead skin cells block hair follicles. Keratosis pilaris is most commonly found on the arms, thighs, or buttocks and typically matches the colour of the skin. On lighter skin tones, it may appear red, while on darker skin, it can look brown or black. The condition can affect people of all ages, including young children.
