Keratosis Pilaris
Keratosis Pilaris is characterized by sand paper like grainy bumps on the upper arms and may rarely be found on the thighs, cheeks, or scalp. (Fig. 1) In some cases the condition is more pronounced and can appear as large impactions, even becom ing inflamed and tender. The condition develops because of a similar process that occurs with acne; mainly cells that clump together in terminal hair follicles.

PRODUCTS THAT ADDRESS KERATOSIS PILARIS
Bioglycolic Oily Skin Cleansing Gel Bioglycolic Oily Skin Cleansing Gel can be used as an all over body cleanser with particular emphasis on the upper arms.
Bioglycolic Body Scrub
The addition of granules, along with gly colic acid, greatly assist in reducing cellular buildup.
Bioglycolic Hand & Body Cream Studies demonstrate that glycolic acid can assist in loosening glue-like attachments that play a role in abnormal keratinization. Consistent use of glycolic acid can minimize or resolve the grainy skin texture and bumpiness associated with this condition.
Usually the onset of Keratosis Pilaris is prior to puberty and may be a marker that the patient will develop acne of the face or back. Therefore, it is believed that Keratosis Pilaris is frequently accompanied by acne. Because of the relationship to the acne process, Kerat osis Pilaris responds well to keratolytic agents, such as glycolic acid, much in the same way as does acne.
