We all love to go in summer in sundresses and open dresses, but not everyone can afford it. The reason for this is a fairly common dermatological problem - goose bumps. Unlike "goosebumps" that appear from a cold, an unpleasant rattle, fear or in a state of strong emotions and pass in the heat or after a decrease in excitement, goose bumps are constantly present on the body. Nasty small pimples resembling the skin of a plucked goose (where the name comes from!) Can be on the arms, legs, back, stomach, and even on the face.
A lot of trouble women get goosebumps on the neck. The skin here is more delicate, delicate and defenseless than on the rest of the body. Attitude to oneself, habits, traces of time - all this opens the neck to the first attentive look and gives out the woman’s age with her head.
In medicine, a disease is described under the terms keratosis, follicular keratosis, hyperkeratosis or follicular hyperkeratosis. Such chronic “goosebumps” arise due to the fact that keratin, which enters the protective upper layer of the skin, does not desquamate, like in all other people, but clogs hair follicles, growing in the form of acne. The disease can be accompanied by darkening of the skin on the elbows, rough skin on the knees, as well as a thickening of the stratum corneum on the heels.
Hyperkeratosis, in most cases, is hereditary and usually begins to manifest in childhood or adolescence. Sometimes the disease is associated with a lack of food or poor digestibility of vitamins A, E and C and therefore goose bumps can accompany a person all his life.
Goose Skin - Treatment
Unlike many other dermatological problems, getting rid of keratosis is very difficult: for a complete cure, you will need to undergo a course of procedures. Many beauty salons today offer such treatments. Peelings with fruit acids are considered the most effective among them , saturating the skin with vitamin C, strengthening it and making it smoother. A good result is obtained from salt or ultrasonic peeling.
The best effect is achieved by combining these procedures with algal or honey wraps. In this case, the skin must also be strengthened from the inside, that is, take vitamin complexes with a sufficient content of vitamin A and ascorbic acid.
Salon procedures will undoubtedly improve the condition of the skin, but only for a while. Regular visits to the sauna or bathhouse will help get rid of goose bumps, where the upper layer of the epidermis softens under the influence of steam and you just have to clean it. Cosmetic clay wraps can be an effective way to get rid of follicular keratosis. After them, the skin is saturated with vitamins, minerals and trace elements and looks great. It is important to continue to systematically and properly care for yourself at home.
Goose skin on the neck can be smoothed out if you systematically wipe it with sodium chloride after washing it. To do this, pour a little salt on a napkin, moisten slightly with water and wipe the skin until pink. Then the treated areas are rinsed and a moisturizer is applied, containing vitamins A and E.
Massage sessions can also help smooth the skin. Vacuum, anti-cellulite or general massage quite effectively cope with this ailment . You can recommend honey, but it is categorically contraindicated for people with a tendency to varicose veins. Massage will have a beneficial effect not only on the skin, but, which is especially important, on the whole body.
Since one of the main causes of goose bumps is a lack of vitamins A and C, the products containing them should be included in the daily menu and the problem will become less noticeable.
The solution to the problem can be quick and effective only if the reasons for its occurrence are accurately established. Therefore, you should consult a dermatologist for advice.
