Keratosis Pilaris
-
AmLactin lotion can help to soothe a condition known as keratosis pilaris. It is a very common skin ailment that results from an accumulation of keratin (a nail and skin protein), which results in red, bumpy skin patches that look like goose bumps. It is generally a harmless condition, but often unsightly. AmLactin lotion can combat it by retaining the skin's moisture and lowering instances of its outbreak. The lotion can also exfoliate the skin and soften the deposits of keratin that are located in the hair follicles, which can improve the overall look of the skin.
