Tests to explore for keratosis pilaris (KP):
- Micronutrients: Essential fatty acids, zinc, vitamin A, and B vitamin abnormalities are common in KP, and (extreme) vitamin C deficiency can manifest as "scurvy of the skin" and may impact collagen and keratin synthesis
- Wheat Zoomer: Celiac disease, non-celiac gluten sensitivity, wheat sensitivity, wheat allergy, and intestinal hyperpermeability are commonly associated with cutaneous manifestations https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10229844/pdf/fmed-10-1155288.pdf
- Gut Zoomer: Gut microbiome health plays an important role in the gut-skin axis https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7916842/pdf/microorganisms-09-00353.pdf
- Diabetes Health Panel: Hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia are associated with dermatological manifestations https://cdn.mdedge.com/files/s3fs-public/CT107002074.PDF
- Total Tox Burden: Toxicity be a root cause of skin manifestations or a contributor to KP
