Chicken skin AKA Keratosis Pilaris: For those who know?

I have Keratosis Pilaris and I dread it because it's just one more addition to my self-consciousness. I can't wear shorts because they're on my legs and thighs and my arms near the elbow. They're even on my breasts. I have tried the exfoliant wash (Glytone, which is expensive!) and moisturizers (AmLactin and Glytone moisturizer) for this condition and they are great with moisture and smoothing the roughness of the condition, but the appearance hasn't changed. My focus is to eliminate the appearance of the condition. What can I do, what should I use?

I, too have keratosis pilaris. You are doing the right thing by keeping it moisturized for the roughness. Unfortunately, there is little you can do about the appearance. You can get laser treatments, I believe but then you are dealing with a whole different set of issues, and it sounds like it would be extensive and certainly pricey.





I have learned to just live with it and accept it as part of who I am. I wish I had a better answer for you!

Reply:i just realized that i have keratosis pilaris...i noticed these bumps appearing on my arm and i never knew what it was...i thought it was because i was shaving my arms but even after i stopped they didn’t go away...i did some research and i learned that there is no cure for this...you just have to wait it out...but the best thing to avoid the roughness of the skin is to apply vaseline or coconut oil on the affected areas





good luck
