Keratosis pilaris (KP or “chicken skin”) happens when hair follicles get clogged, usually on the arms, thighs, bottom, or cheeks. It feels rough and bumpy but often improves with over-the-counter acid-based moisturizers.

Rosacea has two main forms: 1) redness with visible blood vessels and 2) pimples or pustules. Avoiding triggers is key, and the right over-the-counter treatments can help manage symptoms.

Perioral dermatitis causes red bumps or small pimples around the mouth, and sometimes near the nose or eyes. Avoid topical steroids—effective over-the-counter treatments are available when used correctly.
