The Huge, Huge Risk Factors For Keratosis Pilaris

Ichthyosis

Men, ichthyosis stops you from shedding dead skin cells. Your dead skin is just going to build and build! Expect dry, dry patches of skin, men. They'll be all over your body. All over! Many, many men say this condition makes the dry patches look like fish scales. The dryness makes your risk of keratosis pilaris higher. But men? It's not the biggest factor! Ichthyosis also means you have a tough, tough time getting rid of extra keratin. So that keratin? It'll get under the dry and dead skin and build there! The extra keratin is what puts you at a high risk of keratosis pilaris. Of course, you know that already! Once the keratin is trapped, red bumps come very fast. So fast!
