Chicken skin is also referred to as perifollicular keratosis, which has a genetic predisposition, so it may be passed on to the next generation. Keratosis pilaris is an abnormal keratinization that occurs around the hair follicles, and its causes are mainly seen in relation to genetic factors, vitamin A deficiency, and endocrine disorders.
