Keratosis Pilaris
Those small, rough bumps on your arms or legs are more common than you think, and very treatable. Our expert dermatologists can help you understand what's happening with your skin and build a plan that actually works.
What Is Keratosis Pilaris?
Keratosis pilaris (KP) is a common, harmless skin condition that causes small, rough bumps to form on the skin, most often on the upper arms, thighs, cheeks, or buttocks. The bumps may look like persistent goosebumps or tiny pimples and can sometimes feel dry or slightly itchy, though they are generally painless.
KP occurs when keratin, a protein that protects the skin, builds up and blocks hair follicles. This buildup creates the characteristic rough texture many people notice. The condition is especially common in children and teenagers but affects people of all ages, and it often runs in families.
While keratosis pilaris is not a sign of anything serious, many people find it frustrating, particularly when it flares during dry or cold months. The good news is that with the right skincare routine and targeted treatments, significant improvement is very achievable.

Moisturizers and emollients
Exfoliating creams

Frank D.
I have been a patient of Dr. Boswell for some years and have always been impressed by her skill and professionalism and that of her staff. She has spotted and treated numerous pre-cancerous spots on me, and I trust her. I followed her to Atlantic and have found the staff there equally friendly and professional. I never wait to see Dr. Boswell, and my appointments are never rushed.
Michael L.
My visit was as usual quick. The staff was friendly and the PA (Jennifer) was attentive, friendly yet professional. If you have to go to a dermatologist, this is your place to be.

Brianna
I love this Dermatology Office. Everyone is so nice and Dr. Bill Kras is patient, kind and very friendly. The office is clean and efficient. I’ve seen multiple dermatologist and no one has ever been able to help me like he has. I never had acne until I got into my 30s and in two months my dark spots have tremendously faded, and I have not had any new breakouts! I will be back here for treatments in the future!
Danay Z.
Very professional.
Mary J.
I wish I could split this review between the front desk and the providers. I would give the providers 5 stars. The front desk would get 2 stars. Made to feel like a complete annoyance to them.

Had a great visit today. The ladies are wonderful here. Got my Tremfya sample in less than 24hrs because insurance is being cranky about filling it, so to hole me over I got a sample and some injections for my hair thinning. I drive over an hour to come here and would drive even more to have this as my care team!
Crystal C.
We really enjoyed the patience, high quality experience and care from Dr. Johanna Young and Nurse Jammasia. We feel lucky to have appointment with this high quality team. All of our concerns were addressed with respect.

Dr. Dudkiewicz did the best for me. She explained what I need to get done so I can stay young and beautiful. I felt so comfortable and I will definitely go back
Crystal C.
Very professional staff. Great experience very much satisfied
Crystal C.
The office is very professional and pleasant to visit. The centralization under the Anne Arundel umbrella can make it difficult to contact them directly but once there the level of service is very good. Getting appointments through the central service works well though once one gets to the specific office schedule.
Crystal C.
Dr. Bill is the best! He helped my daughter get rid of her eczema easy and quick! Thank you 😊
Crystal C.
Very pleasant experience from the time I walked in. Dr. Richardson was very professional and detailed. She explained everything and addressed all of my concerns.
Crystal C.
A positive experience
Crystal C.
I had my first and second visits with Courtney Fairchild. She is excellent! I shared with her some previous, (negative,) experiences I had with different dermatologists in Texas. She listened to me and understood my concerns. She, (and everyone else there,) were OUTSTANDING! My wait times were very short, lab results quick, follow up appointment was quick, and the treatment was quick and almost painless. The front office staff is very nice and the waiting, exam, treatment, and restrooms were very clean. This was a fantastic experience.
Crystal C.
Tideway has always been a great professional experience. Staff is great, scheduling easy, and they have my loyalty. Keep up the great work.

I have been seeing Dr. Boswell for a year and a half. I feel very comfortable with her examination, and pointing out things I should keep an eye on.
Crystal C.
Dr. Giblin is an outstanding physician with exceptional interpersonal skills in a modern office with excellent staff.
Crystal C.
Dr. Alonna went above and beyond for me. I wish I could give her a million bucks. She took the time to consider other possibilities and treatments. I feel she gave me a lot more hope and options than the other dr there. She should be the face of this clinic tbh
Crystal C.
Very very successful in all the work that Julia does at her job
Crystal C.
My experience at Anne Arundel Dermatology in Greenbelt, MD was excellent from my first appointment through the last visit. When I walked through the front door I was greeted by very friendly and efficient front desk staff and I never had to wait long to be called back to see the doctor. Also, all of the medical technicians and doctors were friendly, knowledgeable and very thorough in explaining all of the medical information. I would highly recommend Anne Arundel Dermatology in Greenbelt, MD to anyone looking for a very professional and customer-centric practice.

Bill Kras and his assistant Maya took incredible care of my husband. Bill was very knowledgeable about my husband's complex condition and took the time to explain everything. I am very happy with the care we received. We will be telling our friends about this practice.
Crystal C.
Recently arrived in the area and needed to see a dermatologist. Walked in to see how long it would take to get an appointment as a new patient. Tracy at the front desk was friendly and efficient and went beyond what I expected by finding an opening to get me in immediately. She helped with all the forms required and within less than 15 minutes I was with the Doctor who was very personable and efficient. Great example of how front desk staff can make a positive impact!
Crystal C.
Great place, easy to get to, very clean, nice and professional staff. And my dermatologist,Keri McDonald is wonderful

Dr. Julia Dudkiewicz is truly excellent—kind, professional, helpful, and dedicated to her patients, providing outstanding service. I have been seeing her for a long time, but today I was informed that she will no longer be working at this office. This news is deeply saddening and unfortunate; after all this time, she will no longer be seeing her patients at this location. 😢 La Dra. Julia Dudkiewicz es super excelente, amable, profesional y servicial, dedicada a sus pacientes, brindado un excelente servio, llevo mucho tiempo atendiendome con ella y hoy me avisan que ella no va volver estar en esta oficina, es muy triste y lamentable esta noticia, luego de tanto tiempo ya no estará atendiendo sus pacientes de esta oficina😢
Crystal C.

Crystal C.
Personal atento y muy amable al igual que la doctora.. Gracias !
Crystal C.
Dr.Brooke Huff made a rough week so much better when her and her assistant took the time to listen to all of my concerns, answer my questions, and be the friendliest people I dealt with all week. It was such a breath of fresh air to have such a caring and compassionate couple help me through this stressful severe poison ivy reaction. The assistant was even SO kind to my 4 year old son. It was just an extremely pleasant experience and I am forever grateful for them both.
Crystal C.
Excellent example of a well run office. Staff friendly and efficient. Dr. O’Neill was kind and expert.
Crystal C.
Bill Kras has been taking care of my children for several years and I am very pleased with his approach to pediatric dermatology. He and his staff always make the kids feel comfortable. A derm exam can make kids nervous because they are not used to the whole draping process, feel like they're under the spotlight, etc. Everyone is very reassuring and they always treat my kids with respect, thoughtfully answering any questions they may have. Recommend highly for kids and adults.
Crystal C.
I had a pleasant visit with the doctor today. I feel he explained everything very professionally. I would go back there again. Thank you DR. Connolly.
Crystal C.
Everyone was very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. I feel very comfortable with everything that they have recommended for my treatment.

Been coming to Dr Jaffe for many years now: always caring, spending enough time to talk and diagnose problem, and always smiling. Office staff is excellent and I never waited more than a few minutes to be seen. Excellent patient experience all around.
Crystal C.
We spend winters in Florida and I was so thrilled to find Bill Kras not too far from our winter home. He is such a pleasure to interact with and 100% knows how to manage my eczema. I don't have high expectations of doctors these days but he surprised me. He spends all the time you need and he is so kind and compassionate. Grateful to have found this practice!
Crystal C.
The whole intial process was amazing. Helped me with my insurance issue and afterwards. They deserve an award. I had a panic attack leaving and scared everyone there. They made sure I was ok and didn't let me leave as soon as I came too. They made sure I was extra ok before I could leave the office. I am very grateful that this office is going to help me with my treatment journey. I trust them 100% thank you all for today!!!
Crystal C.

Crystal C.
I am extremely grateful to Dr. Julia for the incredible transformation of my skin. Before seeing her, I honestly didn’t know how to properly care for my skin, but she educated me step by step and recommended the right treatments for me. I had a peeling treatment and other procedures, and my face looks completely different—in the best way. I joke that she took at least 10 years off my face! Beyond the results, her professionalism and care truly stand out. She has helped restore my confidence, and any woman knows how valuable that is. I highly recommend her.
Crystal C.
The entire staff was professional. It was a positive experience.
Crystal C.
I am a physician and I have been going to see Dr. Bill Kras for at least five years. This practice is very strong in melanoma prevention. Under leadership of well known Dr. Vasiloudes, they are aggressive about removing potentially dysplastic nevi. This is important to me because my father died of melanoma. I was shocked to learn that Dr. Kras has only been in the Derm space for eight years, because he seems so experienced. He is incredibly knowledgeable and dedicated to the field. He often speaks of things he has learned from his colleagues in the practice such as Dr. V and dermatopathologists. He is smart, thoughtful, and kind.
Crystal C.
Efficient. Short wait time. Informative and friendly.
Crystal C.
Updated review. Feb 17, 2026 Excellent, pragmatic, thoughtful, and informed care by Dr. Jaffe, PAs,, NPs, his nurse, and awesome office staff. Beautiful and peaceful setting. Having Roswell on the team takes the experience to another level of quality and serenity. Every medical office should have a resident "dog-tor". Thank you Tideway Dermatology!!
Crystal C.
Dr. Hand and her staff are very professional, friendly, and caring. I arrived a bit early for my appointment in order to complete the necessary forms. The waiting room is tastefully decorated and modern. My wait time was minimal. I am extremely pleased with Dr. Hand. She was in to see me quickly and took the time to answer my questions and check on areas of concern for me. I would highly recommend Dr. Hand and her sweet staff to anyone in need of a dermatologist!
Crystal C.
Ashley is an excellent provider. Everyone in the office is really nice.
Crystal C.
Rachel Neumoyer is so knowledgeable and thorough. She explains everything and is so kind. The staff at the Havre de Grace office are so friendly and efficient. My husband and I think highly of this practice.

Crystal C.
This was my initial visit with Dr. Taj Richardson, whom I discovered through ZocDoc. I'm very pleased with my choice. The office appears to be newly renovated and is exceptionally clean. The staff was remarkably welcoming, and the doctor saw me promptly. She was an excellent listener, very informative, and attentive. Her demeanor was both friendly and professional. Locating a dermatologist in PG County can be challenging, and I'm happy to have found her.
Crystal C.
Office very sufficient, staff patient and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this office for your dermatology needs.

The office is clean, well-organized, and runs very efficiently — I never had to wait long for my appointments.

I highly recommend this practice and Dr Deven Fetzek and Dr Brian Connolly.

Dr. Szaraz and her assistant were both highly knowledgeable, professional, and took the time to thoroughly explain my condition and the treatment options available. I appreciated how they listened to my concerns and tailored a plan specifically for me. I'll definitely be returning for any future skin needs!
Crystal C.
Excellent experience. Staff is friendly and the doctor if very thorough and comprehensive with her explanations. I have been a patient there for several years and will continue going there.
Crystal C.
Friendly efficient, knowledgeable staff. Only downside is there is no sign for dermatology Associates outside of the building so leave a few minutes earlier so you can find it.
Crystal C.
I’ve had these tiny bumps on my chin for years. Ive seen a slew of providers, and I’ve been told it is acne, hormonal acne, fungal acne, that I need an exfoliant, that I need a different type of exfoliant, etc. I’ve tried every product you can imagine. I saw Jennifer Roop Thursday of this week. Within seconds, she said it was perioral dermatitis and prescribed a topical treatment. Two days later my face has almost cleared completely. I am so shocked and so excited that I finally have a method to clear this up. Thank you!!
Crystal C.
Lina Weber PA was beyond incredible treating my son. So much so that our whole family will be returning to see her. Derek at the front desk was also great to work with and helped get us in right away. We are so appreciative!
Crystal C.

Your Keratosis Pilaris Questions, Answered
KP is a chronic condition, but symptoms can be managed effectively with consistent care and, in many cases, improve significantly over time.
No. KP is caused by an internal buildup of keratin and cannot be spread from person to person.
Cold, dry air strips moisture from the skin and worsens the keratin buildup that causes KP. Consistent moisturizing during colder months makes a meaningful difference.
Yes. KP can appear on the cheeks, particularly in children, and may be mistaken for acne or rosacea. A dermatologist can help confirm the diagnosis.
Some do, particularly those with lactic acid, urea, or salicylic acid. For more persistent cases, prescription-strength options or in-office treatments offer better results.
KP is typically diagnosed by visual examination. In cases where the presentation is unclear, your provider may recommend additional evaluation to rule out other conditions.
KP is most common in children and adolescents, but it can appear at any age and often persists into adulthood, particularly in people with a family history.
