    No. They’re actually called keratosis pilaris – the cause is unknown, but some claim that it’s a hereditary condition.

    You can soften and help slough off bumps by applying cream containing high urea and salicylic acid. If that doesn’t work, prescription retinoids will help, but it can irritate the surrounding skin. If very irritation or itchy can add mild steroids to the cream to soothe irritation. Apply onto bumps twice a day until they clear up.
