Keratosis pilaris is a common skin condition that may represent a normal physiological phenomenon or could be a clinical manifestation of certain dermatological diseases. Generally, keratosis pilaris often appears transiently in response to cold temperatures or emotional changes, reflecting an evolutionary stress response preserved in humans. Once the underlying cause is identified, appropriate management should be implemented accordingly.
