the weird thing is that my boyfriend has it on the back of his arms too, we both have it for a few months now.Not so sure this is a hereditary incurable didease (scarry) NEED MORE INFO PLEASE
Keratosis pilaris having a hard time believing this is an incurable disease!im 30 ish and just now got it?
Very common problem. But be glad that is is not contagious and not life threating. It's merely a hair follicle problem. Glycolic acid washes and lotions work really well. There is a company named "Glytone". They have what is called a "keratosis pilaris kit". Consists of a wash and a lotion. Works really well. I'm sure there are other products as well. Don't let it worry you.
Reply:Sorry, but I know this information is not what you want to hear:
The best treatment is alpha hydroxyacid gel. This gel is fairly expensive but will go a long way if used sparingly. Alpha hydroxyacid gel is available without a prescription. The gel should be applied to the involved areas once or twice a day.
Keratosis pilaris can be controlled with alpha hydroxyacid gel, but there is no cure for this condition.
