  1. keratosis follicularis

    Keratosis Follicularis, also known as Darier's Disease, is a rare genetic skin disorder characterized by small, hard bumps on the skin. These bumps most often appear on the scalp, forehead, upper arms, chest, back, knees and elbows. This condition is caused by a mutation in the gene that regulates calcium in skin cells, leading to abnormal keratinization (process in which skin cells harden and move to the surface), and is typically inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. The symptoms may get worse in summer or with sunlight exposure, excessive heat and humidity. Some individuals with this condition may also experience nail abnormalities or changes in the mucous membranes.
