LittleRedBumps.com is the website dedicated to the management of dry skin, associated with Keratosis Pilaris, and is brought to you by the AmLactin® family of moisturizers.
What are Those Little Red Bumps?
Mysterious little red bumps commonly found on the arms can be the result of a condition known as Keratosis Pilaris (KP). KP is an inherited skin disorder resulting from the build up of dead skin cells in hair follicles. There is no cure for KP and it affects an estimated forty percent of the world’s population.
How Can I Manage Dry Skin Associated with Little Red Bumps (KP)?
There is no cure for KP. Moisturizing exfoliates and softens the deposits in the hair follicle and improves the overall appearance of the skin. Moisturizers containing lactic acid, like AmLactin® lotion and AmLactin XL®, help the skin to retain moisture. Lactic acid is an extremely effective humectant, or a natural substance that attracts water molecules to the skin to keep it hydrated. AmLactin® offers serious care for softer skin and is available at www.drugstore.com and fine retailers nationwide.
