**Keratosis folliculitis avitaminosis**
Keratosis Folliculitis Avitaminosis (KFA) is one of the most common skin diseases caused by malnutrition of the hair follicles. CFA occurs as a result of a deficiency of nutrients such as vitamins, minerals and other trace elements that are essential for the proper functioning of hair follicles. In this article we will talk about the causes of CFA, its symptoms, diagnosis and treatment.
There are many types of keratoses, but two are the most common on the skin: parakeratosis and planum. These changes occur due to malfunctioning cells in the superficial layer of skin called the "epidermis". With CFA, severe dryness of the epidermis and subcutaneous tissue is observed, as well as pronounced peeling of the stratum corneum and its damage. KFA is a type of keratosis pilaris that occurs due to a lack of vitamins and minerals in the body that are necessary for healthy hair follicle function. This disease can be caused by various factors, including poor diet, lack of sunlight, heredity, use of medications and stressful situations. Symptoms of CFA may include a burning sensation, tingling, itching, and redness in the affected areas. To diagnose CFA, you must consult a dermatologist, as he can diagnose and prescribe appropriate treatment. Treatment for CFA may include the use of special ointments and creams, as well as lifestyle changes, such as including more vitamins in the diet or limiting stressful situations.
