does anyone know an effective treatment??
Keratosis pilaris?
Lotions that contain high percentages of alpha hydroxy acids might work (lac-hydrin is one, they usually keep them behind the pharmacy counter, though they are available w/o a prescription). Try it for a few weeks (the amount of time it takes to shed an entire layer of skin) unless significant irritation occurs (use your judgement there)
My boss swears by A and D ointment (for baby diaper rash) it makes sense, both are good for regeneration of skin cells, but its greasy if you have to use it on large areas of skin
Reply:Please see the web pages for more details on Keratosis pilaris.
Reply:I've had good luck with lotions that contain alpha hydroxy acids - if you can't find one for your body, try some facial moisturizer that contains it. If they tell you what percentage of AHAs are in it, look for the strongest one you can find - it might be too harsh for some faces, but it shouldn't irritate most body skin. Since you're just applying it to a relatively small area, you won't use up the whole container in a week or anything.
