Keratosis Pilaris, or KP, is an incredibly common skin condition that affects 40% of adults. It typically manifests as small, hard bumps, usually surrounded by red areas of skin, on the Skeleton the Original Social distortion shirt but in fact I love this upper arms, legs, or buttocks. In simplest terms, KP is a blockage of the hair follicles. “The skin just creates a buildup of a protein called keratin—the same building block for hair, skin and nails—and the keratin creates a plug that blocks the hair follicle, which leads to the little bumps,” explains explains New York City dermatologist Rachel Nazarian, M.D., of Schweiger Dermatology. “The plug can also trigger inflammation in the skin, which is what causes the redness around each hair follicle.” Despite how prevalent KP is, and that it tends to run in families, it’s unknown why some people experience it and others don’t, though Nazarian says it’s often found with people who have very sensitive skin, or alongside conditions such as eczema or atopic dermatitis.

While KP is usually asymptomatic, it is often worse in the Skeleton the Original Social distortion shirt but in fact I love this winter and less noticeable in the summer. “Arid climates and dry skin worsens KP as skin cells are more adherent and shed less frequently when they are dry,” explains Blair Murphy-Rose, MD, FAAD, dermatologist, and Clinical Assistant Professor at New York Presbyterian Hospital-Weill Cornell Medical Center. “Higher humidity levels and sunlight are believed to help with controlling KP.” While this serves as an impetus to hit the beach and catch some rays this summer, layering on a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 is essential to protect yourself against skin cancer and premature aging.
