1. Chicken skin is a type of skin disease or skin infection. This is what we call Keratosis Pilaris

2. A few months ago, actress Yami Gautam also told that she has this disease. Basically, this disease is not as serious as other skin diseases. But in this, black or chocolate-colored fine-grained rashes appear around the elbows and knees.

3. Due to the dryness of the skin during the cold days, rashes on the hands and knees increase. Some people even itch there. So, try these few remedies to prevent this disease from getting worse in winter.

4. Many people have the habit of taking a bath with very hot or hard water because it is cold. Those who suffer from chicken skin should avoid bathing with hard water. Due to this, there is a possibility of increasing the dryness of the skin and increasing the disease.

5. Similarly, bathing for too long also causes dehydration of the skin. So avoid taking hot water on your body for a long time while taking a bath as it is getting cold.

6. Moisturize the skin properly every day after bathing and at night. If the moisture in the skin is maintained properly, the body will not get dry.

7. Always gently rub the chicken skin area with a rough cloth or towel after bathing. This will reduce the dead skin on that area.

8. Itchy body due to dryness due to cold. But don't scratch the chicken skin area at all. The infection will increase or the place will bleed.
