Clear answers
Frequently asked questions Answered Clear & Clear.
Everything you need to know about our doctor-supervised treatments, AI skin analysis, and clinic consultations.
01 What causes chicken skin on the arms?
Keratosis pilaris occurs when keratin plugs hair follicles, commonly on upper arms, thighs, cheeks or buttocks.
02 Is keratosis pilaris harmful?
No. It is common, harmless and not contagious.
03 Is rough skin a vitamin deficiency?
Usually not. Do not take high-dose vitamin A or other supplements without a diagnosed need.
04 Can I scrub the bumps away?
Hard scrubbing irritates skin and can worsen redness or pigmentation.
05 Should I pop keratosis pilaris bumps?
No. Picking can cause inflammation, infection and dark marks.
06 Which ingredients can help?
Urea, lactic acid, glycolic acid, salicylic acid or selected retinoids may help when used correctly.
07 How long before I see improvement?
Often four to six weeks of consistent care; maintenance is commonly needed.
08 Does it disappear permanently?
It may improve with age, but treatment controls rather than guarantees a permanent cure.
09 Can shaving make it worse?
Shaving or waxing can increase irritation and follicular bumps in some people.
10 Can laser hair reduction help?
It may reduce hair-removal irritation but does not directly cure keratin plugging.
11 Are peels useful?
Selected superficial peels can smooth texture, but overly strong treatment can damage the barrier.
12 What if the texture is from acne scars?
Scar texture needs a different plan such as microneedling, subcision or resurfacing after acne is controlled.
13 Is moisturiser enough?
It is the foundation; keratolytic or prescription treatment may be added if needed.
14 What does Dermis 365 offer?
Diagnosis, barrier care, keratolytics, retinoids, acne treatment, peels and selected texture procedures.
