Does keratosis pilaris spread?

Does Keratosis Pilaris spread? Many KP sufferers know the struggle when it comes to managing this harmless but stubborn condition. Keratosis Pilaris causes small, itchy bumps to appear on your skin. Patients often report the condition suddenly worsening during pregnancy and after childbirth. KP may make your skin look like it has permanent goose bumps. These’re usually small and itchy red or white bumps that are harsh to the touch. 

Does keratosis pilaris spread?

The short answer is no. Because it’s not contagious it can’t spread. Dead skin cells blocking your pores/hair follicles are the cause of keratosis pilaris.

Typically tend to appear during the winter months, when the air is dry. And may improve during the warmer summer months when the humidity is higher. But every patient is different and can report different appearance and symptoms. 

Patients who suffer from dry skin, eczema, asthma, excess body weight or hay fever may be more prone to suddenly develop Keratosis Pilaris. 

How to treat Keratosis Pilaris?

Although there is no specific cure for KP, with a choice of non-surgical procedures and consistent skincare you can manage your condition. And also reduce the appearance significantly.

Laser hair removal  is a fast and effective way to permanently reduce unwanted hair. Which is basically the root cause of keratosis pilaris. This highly-regarded treatment is suitable for all skin types. And we use medical-grade technology for a fast, superior outcome.

Medical microdermabrasion combined with Epionce Lite Refresh Peel – a deeply penetrating, resurfacing combined treatment to clear blocked and congested pores.
