Poisoning is a very common condition where 40% of people are more visible in children and adolescents and may continue beyond that age.
It usually appears on the arms and thighs of the outside and may appear on the face. This is characterized by the presence of a very small red grain gives the skin a rough texture similar to sandpaper. These granules are a combination of dead cells on the opening of the hair follicle.
Poisoning can cause itching especially with dry skin in winter or in dry areas. When air humidity improves, the situation improves automatically.
Patients usually seek treatment for this condition if they cause it to be itchy or are uncomfortable with its appearance.
What are the treatments used for hair styling?
Moisturizing creams may be used, such as those containing urea or lactic acid.
In some cases, vitamin A derivatives such as topical tretinoin may be used to remove the dead cell layer, which works to block the hair follicle as mentioned above.
In fact, most treatments for hair styling have a temporary effect, as the condition reappears if the treatment is stopped. Therefore, we recommend continuing the treatment, especially the use of moisturizing creams.
