However, my children, who are 10, wouldn't put this lotion on twice a day. podcast-host

Do you know why we get these bumps and spots here? podcast-host

We all do regular exercise, shower after exercise, and eat well, although there's always room for improvement with food. podcast-host

Your help would be so appreciated. podcast-host

Thank you, Lucy. podcast-host

Ooh, interesting. podcast-host

You know, Lucy, what you're describing sounds very much like keratosis pilaris, and yeah, commonly known as chicken skin. podcast-host

It's very common, especially in children and younger adults, completely harmless. podcast-host

My children all had it. podcast-host

It and these little bumps appear when keratin and that's the protein that helps protect our skin. podcast-host

builds up and it forms tiny plugs around the hair follicles. podcast-host

And yeah, it often runs in families. podcast-host

So interestingly that you've had it and your children now have it. podcast-host

And it's also more common in those who have dry skin or eczema. podcast-host

So it absolutely is not caused by being unclean or not showering after exercise or sweat getting trapped in the skin. podcast-host

And there's no convincing evidence actually that a particular podcast-host

Food causes it, so I wouldn't definitely put children on a restrictive diet. podcast-host

You know, just keep that healthy, varied diet going, lots of protein, omega-3 fats, cutler seed oils, uh, lots of colourful fruit and veg. podcast-host

You know, these are things that will generally support the skin, but of course that's not a specific cure. podcast-host

So keratosis polaris often comes and goes, and it can look worse when the skin is dry. podcast-host
