It's possible but rashes are the one thing that never be accurately diagnosed without seeing them. You can have a good idea but you can't tell for sure.

both keratosis pilaris and folliculitis have different forms and appearances. In your other post you mentioned your son had had chickenpox. It may also be a post-viral rash. If you are worried you need to go back to your GP for them to have a look - and be honest with them about your concerns and tell them what YOU think it is. The internet is not the best place to get this information.
