What should I do about chicken skin on my legs?
Keratosis pilaris, commonly known as "chicken skin," appearing on the legs is often related to genetic factors and may also be associated with vitamin deficiencies, endocrine issues, and other factors.
The following measures can help improve the condition:
1. General treatment: Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight and use proper sun protection when outdoors. Apply moisturizers regularly to keep the skin hydrated and reduce dryness.
2. Medication: Under a doctor's guidance, apply topical medications such as tretinoin cream or salicylic acid ointment to soften keratinized skin and relieve symptoms. If infection occurs, take anti-infective medications such as amoxicillin capsules.
3. Lifestyle adjustments: Maintain a regular sleep schedule and avoid staying up late. Eat a balanced diet and consume more foods rich in vitamin A, such as carrots and pork liver.
