Keratosis Pilaris Causes- 298 Questions Answered

Both my siblings, aged 15 and 22, have keratosis pilaris. I am 12-years old and was wondering if I too can develop those acne-like bumps on my arms and elsewhere on the body. Is this problem genetic? Or occurs due to a certain lifestyle? Someone please inform me of all the causes of keratosis pilaris. Your inputs would be really helpful to me.
