Can keratosis pilaris be prevented?

Dr. Mehmet Oz answered:As far as doctors know, it's not possible to prevent keratosis pilaris. This common skin condition occurs when hair follicles (openings in the skin through which hairs grow) become clogged with protein called keratin. In general, you can help keep your skin healthy by bathing regularly and cleansing skin with a gentle soap or other cleanser. For advice on how to control keratosis pilaris and other skin disorders, see a dermatologist.

You cannot prevent keratosis pilaris, but there are ways to manage the condition. Regularly apply a moisturizer to your skin to help smooth rough patches and ease dryness, and avoid scratching or rubbing the skin harshly to prevent irritation. Using a humidifier can help minimize symptoms, too.
