Pimples on the Arm Skin Should Not Be Ignored, Could be a Serious Problem

Dream - Breakouts can occur not only on the face, but also on other parts of the body. Starting from the back, arms, thighs, to the buttocks. The conditions and causes are also different.

Not all pimples are caused by the accumulation of dead skin cells and dirt in certain areas of the skin. Pimples like the one in the picture below are keratosis pilaris, which has different causes and symptoms compared to regular acne on the face.

What is Keratosis Pilaris?

Quoted from the post of Dermatologist Listya Paramita, keratosis pilaris is a skin disorder caused by hyperkeratinization around the hair follicles. Hyperkeratinization itself is an abnormal and excessive increase in keratin levels in the skin. The symptoms are not only rough skin texture, but also itching, dry and red skin, as well as the appearance of bumps resembling raw chicken skin. That is why this condition is often referred to as 'chicken skin'.

The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "The condition of the skin suffering from keratosis pilaris can also worsen due to seasonal changes or weather conditions that cause a decrease in air humidity and dry out the skin."

"How to Overcome it?"

Overcoming keratosis pilaris is different from regular acne. Mita suggests maintaining skin moisture and preventing dry skin. Dream friends can regularly use moisturizer, use soap that does not dry out the skin, and take warm showers with a moderate temperature and not too long duration.

Performing gentle exfoliation with fine particle scrubs or using skincare products that contain specific active ingredients once a week can also help in treating keratosis pilaris.

"Although it can help with keratosis pilaris, do not exfoliate too often. Especially if the scrub used is too rough. Chemical exfoliators with low-concentration active ingredients can be used for dry skin. If necessary, choose an exfoliator that contains moisturizing active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, so that the skin's moisture is not stripped away. Also, use a moisturizer after exfoliating the skin to keep your skin hydrated and plump."

"Do not leave it for a long period of time"

Do not let keratosis pilaris on the skin last too long. The sooner it is addressed, the easier keratosis pilaris will also be eliminated. Especially if Sahabat Dream undergoes intensive treatment with lightweight products on the skin. Avoid places that are too moist or dry to keep the skin healthy.

"Immediately consult your skin condition with a dermatologist if keratosis pilaris does not improve after maintaining moisture around it. 'The doctor will provide products with specific active ingredients or perform medical procedures that can remove excessive keratin buildup,' said Mita."
