If it's Keratosis Pilaris the. It's a chronic condition. A condition that causes rough patches and small, acne-like bumps on the skin.
This condition develops when the skin produces too much of a protein called keratin, which can block hair follicles and cause bumps to develop. Exfoliating creams and moisturizer s need to b used. If it's severe and chronic then lasers also can b of help. Consult a Dermatologist for the same to prevent further progression.
