Have you ever encountered this situation?
What are these dense little bumps?
It is called perikeratopsia, which is commonly known as chicken skin. is also called hair moss , hair keratosis , it is a chronic hair follicle keratosis skin disease, which is an autosomal dominant hereditary disease.
It is actually very simple to determine whether you have peri-keratosis. Peri-keratosis will have a small keratinous plug on the mouth of the hair follicle, a keratinous papules of the same size as a needle, and sometimes erythema will appear around it. It can be observed with the naked eye, and it can be basically confirmed by touching it with your hands.
According to statistics, about 2% to 12% of children have chicken skin, the most are teenagers, with the proportion of chicken skin reaching 50% to 80%, while the proportion of adult skin is 40%.
In other words, nearly half of the people in the world have this kind of skin problem, but most people are relatively mild and difficult to detect.
Although the "chicken skin" is ugly, it does not affect your health!
Although ugly, the relative " good news " is that "chicken skin" does not affect physical health!
The main sites of chicken skin are the symmetrical distribution of posterior and lateral upper arm, extension thigh, lateral hip cheek, outer upper arm and thigh, and can even be distributed in a general way.
Causes of perichonal keratosis
1, genetic factors
The reason why this skin disease occurs has a great relationship with heredity, about 30 to 50% of people have a significant family history. This disease is caused by the dominant genetic caused by the 12th pair of chromosome mutation in the human body.
2. Nutritional deficiency
If you diet too much for weight loss and insufficient nutritional intake of fats, perique keratosis may occur or the condition may be more serious. In addition, the symptoms that occur are also related to thyroid insufficiency and vitamin A deficiency.
3, endocrine disorders
clinically shows that people with hypothyroidism, Cushing syndrome or people who are using glucocorticoid to treat diseases are more likely to develop this skin disease, so this skin disease is often related to endocrine metabolism.
The formation process of perichonal keratosis
This is a skin disease with a genetic tendency. It is caused by keratosis of hair follicles, which affects the growth of follicles. Therefore, the skin surface does not feel smooth, like goose bumps, and there are curly hairs in each small papule. Because there is keratosis at the opening of the sebaceous duct of the hair follicle, the so-called "horn plug" is formed, and after hardening, it will cause pore occlusion.
Appears small papules like needle dots, distributed scatteredly, with skin tone, reddish brown or brown, and most rashes are not related to pain and itching.
looks very similar to "goose bumps". It is thick and like sandpaper. It feels rough and looks even more annoying. However, goose bumps are caused by the contraction of the vertical piss muscle caused by climate, emotions, etc., which is a temporary skin change; while papules formed by keratosis of pores is a persistent state.
How to treat perichnological keratosis
Gentle cleansing
Gentle cleansing can prevent the skin from being irritated again, thereby aggravating the formation of chicken skin. You can choose a gentler bath product when taking a bath, and avoid using soap-based cleaning like ordinary soap.
Avoid rubbing
vigorously. This is very important for sisters with chicken skin!
Don’t want to solve the problem of chicken skin by rubbing vigorously. This will only backfire and irritate the skin more and make perichnid keratosis worse and worse.
Do you have a good moisturizing
The most important step after taking a shower is to apply body lotion ! During the rinsing process with hot water, the sebum and natural moisturizing factors on the surface of the body will be washed away. If the care is not done properly, it will easily become dryer.
Strictly sun protection
Winter long-sleeved trousers coat, it is a bit difficult for the body to be sunburned.But summer! It’s really painful to wear long sleeves and long trousers (if you can, I’ll kneel down for you first)
so sun protection is not missing! Many fairies only pay attention to the sun protection on their faces. Holding a parasol can only protect their upper body and allowing them to indulge in their lower body. This is not advisable! Please take care of your legs and legs!
Medical Beauty Improvement
Fairies who really can't stand their chicken skin can choose medical beauty. It can quickly and effectively improve perichonal keratosis and make the skin smooth.
Laser treatment
Its principle is similar to Laser hair removal , which uses the selective photothermal effect of laser to destroy hair follicles and relieve perichonal keratosis.
Fruit acid rejuvenation
Fruit acid rejuvenation on the body and face is the same, both allowing the stratum corneum cells to fall off quickly and clear the hair follicle mouth.
Because the production of keratin has a certain cycle, it is usually one month.
Short-term concentrated treatment can only be "treatment of symptoms but not root cause", because the innate genes cannot be changed, so the new keratin will still have hair follicle keratosis.
What we need to do is long-term care, and applying body lotion all year round is essential!
