Keratosis pilaris (KP or chicken skin or goosebump skin) happens when your hair follicles get plugged up on the upper outer arms, outer thighs and bottom, and sometimes the cheeks. This makes the skin feel rough and bumpy. It is easy to treat with the right over-the-counter acid-based moisturizers.

Perioral dermatitis is red bumps and/or small pimples around the mouth and sometimes around the nose or eyes. Do not use topical steroids for this rash. Good over-the-counter treatments are available if you know how to use them.
