Tiny Bumps on Your Arms or Face? It Might Be Keratosis Pilaris — Here’s How to Treat It

Small, rough bumps on the arms, thighs, or face are a common skin concern, often mistaken for acne or clogged pores. In many cases, these bumps are caused by keratosis pilaris, a harmless but persistent skin condition related to keratin buildup. At Calgary Vein & Laser, keratosis pilaris is managed as a skin texture concern rather than a lesion requiring removal, with treatment plans often centred around medical-grade skincare designed to smooth rough skin and improve overall texture. While keratosis pilaris isn’t dangerous, it can be frustrating and impact confidence. Understanding what causes it and how it’s treated can help you take the right next step. If persistent bumps aren’t improving on their own, contact us for professional guidance.
