A person with keratosis typically has what type of skin condition?

Smooth skin
Rough patch of skin
Inflamed skin
Oily skin

The correct answer is: Rough patch of skin

A person with keratosis typically exhibits rough patches of skin due to the accumulation of keratin, a protein that protects the skin from external factors. Keratosis can manifest as scaly, thickened areas, which are often dry and feel rough to the touch. This condition arises when the skin overproduces keratin, leading to a buildup that can give the skin a bumpy or irregular texture. While some skin conditions may result in smooth, inflamed, or oily skin, keratosis distinctly leads to a rough appearance, setting it apart from those other presentations. Understanding the characteristics of keratosis helps in identifying it properly in a clinical setting.
