Brown bumps on the skin

We all know that human skin plays a protective role in the human body and is very important. When the external environment stimulates the skin, the skin will immediately develop small bumps to resist this stimulation. Many people call these small bumps goose bumps. In fact, these small bumps are a kind of protection for the human body. Some people will grow brown bumps on their skin. What's going on?

Common constitutional skin diseases. Chicken skin is a physical problem caused by abnormal keratinization metabolism. People with this physique will have thickened keratin around the hair follicles, causing the hair follicle openings to be blocked by the excessive keratin and form small red or even brown bumps. The outer sides of our upper arms, thighs, neck, back and cheeks are the most common areas for chicken skin. Because follicular keratinization is related to thickening of the cuticle, the symptoms of chicken skin will be more obvious and severe in the dry and cold winter.

Chicken skin can be improved by taking it internally or applying it externally to achieve both symptomatic and root treatment. Taking drugs such as active serum lipids or vitamin A orally can improve physical condition, and applying moisturizing and nourishing drugs externally can unclog skin hair follicles. When using Western medicine to treat external application of retinoic acid or antipruritic drugs, we should not squeeze these bumps at will to avoid causing inflammation and infection of the pores. At the same time, we should eat more foods rich in vitamin A. If the patient has severe chicken skin, systemic treatment can be considered, and it is best to detect and treat it early, because delayed treatment will greatly increase the difficulty of treatment.

Chicken skin is a congenital physical problem. Although it is difficult to cure completely, it can be effectively improved by paying attention to daily care. Since chicken skin is related to thickening of the cuticle, we should exfoliate on a regular basis, and do it gently. You can take a bath with Dead Sea bath salts, which have moisturizing effects, or you can dissolve the bath salts in hot water and mix them with plant-based shower gel, and use them every time you shower. Chicken skin is very lacking in water and oil. You should go to the pharmacy to buy body lotion formulated for extremely dry skin to replenish water and oil.

When red or brown bumps appear on the skin, do not squeeze, scratch or pick them with your hands, as these will cause the tissue around the pores to swell and produce acne or folliculitis. Patients with severe chicken skin should start treatment and improvement early. Develop good skin care habits, insist on using mild plant-based shower gel and Dead Sea bath salts for bathing, and also pay attention to moisturizing and replenishing oils on the skin.
