Re: I Have Keratosis Pilaris
Oh my gosh! I never knew it was a condition...I actually thought it was all-year-around goosebumps. I know a bunch of people who have it and I have it myself as well. Someone told me when they went to Asia it went away cause it was warmer apparently so I assumed it was goosebumps from living in North America. Guess I was wrong!

Apparently 40 to 50% of adults and 50%-80% of adolescents have this so it's pretty common ;p



Exfoliating and applying a moisterizer will help a bit. It's pretty simple, I know, but it's all I have and it smoothens it out week after week for me. =)

I use Nivea Soft Intensive Cream [I'm not 100% about the name] - erm it comes in a tub. I slop quite a bit on in the morning and before I go to bed.

Well at least my simple method works on light Keratosis pilaris which I had on my legs. Maybe if I do it long enough on my arms it'll work - it seems to get better all the time with a little love and care.

Hope that helps
