Hyperkeratosis Pilaris is otherwise known as "Chicken Skin" because it resembles the skin of a plucked chicken with little bumps like goosebumps all over.
it's a common condition. there is no cure but treatments of different lotions and creams.
folliculitis is inflamation of the folicules.
When a person stands or sits the blood flow in the legs changes. similar to the experience of women during pregnancy who have pain while standing.
Since you had such a severe burn, the skin on those areas will be EXTRA sensitive. like baby skin which is why you still have problems. Use SPF 50+and make sure that it is not expired. then if you have issue try alovera lotion.
Watch for any moles that suddenly appear, or change shape and color. I'm not sure how much longer it'll go on. you need to see a dermatologist.
I hope this helps!

Hello,
One possibility for your symptoms is keratosis pilaris. Keratosis pilaris occurs when the human body produces excess keratin, a natural protein in the skin. There is currently no known cure for keratosis pilaris, however, there are effective treatments available which make its symptoms less apparent. Treatment includes tretinoin or Triamcinolone cream or Adapalene, a retinoid medication. Exfoliation, intensive moisturizing creams, creams and lotions containing alpha hydroxy acids and urea may be used to temporarily improve the appearance and texture of affected skin.
The swelling was due to the second degree burns that you had. Also apply a good sunscreen with minimum spf 30 atleast half an hour before going out in the sun and wear long sleeved cotton clothes. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
