If you pick/ scratch at it, KP can cause scarring and discoloration.
I suggest you use a mild exfoliant or an exfoliating glove while in the shower. After (and this is very important) use a cream that has lactic acid in it. Lactic acid. NOT glycolic acid, or retin A, or salicylic acid. Lactic acid is a molecule that is larger and is able to both exfoliate chemically and hydrate/moisturize your skin.
Keratosis Pilaris is a condition where the dead skin/epithelial tissue stays in the follicle creating the white bumps that you see.
Using this method, you should notice results in about 3 weeks. Good luck!
