It is most often found on the lateral upper arms and on the front of the thighs.\u00a0 The buttocks and face are occasionally involved.\u00a0 Keratosis pilaris causes the skin to have a sand paper-like feeling.\u00a0 Occasionally, red halo surrounds the white \u201cspike\u201d.<\/p>\n

The lesions are located at the openings of the hair follicles and often can be scooped out with a fingernail or an instrument called a dermal curette.\u00a0 When this is done, a coiled hair is sometimes found within the white semi-solid material.\u00a0 These spots usually return. The individual spots come and go over a matter of weeks, but the overall course of this condition is chronic.\u00a0 The good news is that this condition gradually disappears, usually after age twenty.<\/p>\n<\/div>
