Keratosis pilaris on the cheek
Keratosis pilaris occurs most commonly during childhood and produces small, rough spots. called papules, that are typically the same color as the skin. They usually appear over the outer surface of the upper arms and thighs, but may also occur elsewhere on the body. Dry skin, especially during winter months, makes the condition worse. Keratosis pilaris tends to be inherited and may be associated with atopic dermatitis.
