Reply:Keratosis Pilaris is very difficult to treat, but the best treatment that I have found is skin creams for sensitive skin that contain alpha-hydroxy acids such as glycolic acid or lactic acid. Check out the website below for more information on over the counter and prescription treatments. You should also ALWAYS wear a sunscreen, especially if you are using these products, as sun over-exposure can make keratoses worse.
Reply:Yep it is hard to treat. Sometimes what dermatologists prescribe help, sometimes not at all. It's trial and error. Something I do know that makes a difference is a good hydrating lotion, put on after you shower, before going to bed. I bought a dermabrasion cloth that I use in the shower on my arms about every 3 days or so, then I put on lotion. It makes a huge noticeable difference. There are also lots of home remedies on this site. http://www.helpforkp.com/


Good luck.
