Keratosis pilaris (KP or “chicken skin”) happens when hair follicles get plugged, usually on the upper arms, thighs, bottom, or cheeks. It feels rough and bumpy but is easy to treat with the right over-the-counter acid-based moisturizers.

There are two main types of acne: 1) blackheads and whiteheads, and 2) pimples and cysts. Each requires different treatments, but good over-the-counter options are available if you know how to use them.

Mask-ne is common in the age of COVID. It is caused by masks clogging pores and irritating the skin. Treatment is pretty straightforward, and good over-the-counter options are available if you know how to use them.
