Thank you for reaching out. What you’re describing does sound like keratosis pilaris, commonly called “chicken skin.” It’s a very common and harmless skin condition, especially in children, even though it can look concerning.
Keratosis pilaris happens when keratin, a natural protein in the skin, builds up and plugs the hair follicles. This creates tiny, rough bumps that are often red, white, or flesh colored. It most commonly appears on the arms and legs and is frequently associated with dry skin, eczema, or genetics.
While there isn’t a cure, consistent skin care can greatly improve how it looks and feels. Keeping the skin well moisturized is key. EMUAIDMAX can help soften rough patches, calm dryness, and support smoother looking skin when used regularly. Many parents apply it 3 to 4 times daily, as frequent hydration is important for managing keratosis pilaris.

We also recommend using the EMUAID Therapeutic Moisture Bar during bathing. It gently cleanses without stripping the skin’s natural oils, which helps prevent dryness that can make the bumps more noticeable.
