Keratosis is a skin disorder whereby rough bumps appear on the skin of various body parts other than the sole and palms, caused by an overgrowth of keratin. This skin disorder is common in teenagers and children. Keratosis is not a severe skin problem and therefore treatment is not necessary. However, there are lots of herbal treatments for keratosis but note that there is no cure for this skin disorder.
Keratosis can be treated by the use of apple cider vinegar. This natural extract from apple cider is a good remedy for this kind of skin disorder. Apply this once a day preferably at night after a good shower and use it for a month or two. The lesions will be less coarse and better looking.
Keratosis is also caused by a deficiency of vitamin A. Eat foods that are rich in vitamin A for example cod liver oil or fish oil. These help in replenishing the skin.
Vegetables and fresh fruits in the meal are good remedies for this skin condition. Foods that are rich in omega 3 fatty acids will also help you in reducing the bumps and improving their texture.
Keratosis is treated through herbal means by the use of flax seeds. These seeds have a component in them that works on the dry and chapped bumps by improving their texture.
Eat salmon. Salmon contains omega 3 fatty acids that soften the lesions hence making them less coarse. This in turn improves the texture of the skin bumps caused by keratosis.
Walnuts are a good natural remedy for keratosis and it is very advisable to consume them. You will begin seeing fine results in a month.
This skin problem can be solved in another natural way too. Eat foods that are rich in vitamin E as they help in the regulation of abnormal proliferation of the outer skin layers. With these, the texture of your skin will immensely improve after a month or two
Use Burt’s bees exfoliating soap which will reduce the coarseness of the bumps hence improving their texture.
Drinking water replenishes the skin. Increase your water intake to up to about 12 glasses a day. This will help soften the dry and chapped bumps due to the internal moisture.
Keratosis has very many treatment options and it is upon you to utilize them. You should note that the process is usually slow and you should be patient enough and also be dedicated.
