Re: I Have Keratosis Pilaris
i've got it too. i started a few years ago during the summer, and never went away. go to a dermatologist and get diagnosed officially. they'll prescribe something for you. mine did, but i've been too lazy to apply the cream. i've got so many other medical problems to worry about, and my eczema is much more of a concern than my KP. i use a loofa everyday in the shower, and that hasn't helped much, for me at least. that and using a prescribed cream is your best bet at getting rid of, if not minimizing, the bumps and red spots. besides, you don't wanna put something on it that isn't prescribed for it for fear of making it worse, if that is indeed what it is.
thankfully being an esthetician i used my knowledge to diagnose that and peri-oral dermatitis. i went to the derm since it was getting worse, and what my GP diagnosed/presribed made it worse, and it was confirmed that i had PD and KP.
good luck.
