Any advice/tips.
Keratosis Pillarin anybody?
Keratosis pilaris is a skin condition that is genetic. It is usually seen on the upper arms and thighs and manifests as reddish bumps or "chicken skin." Use a strong alpha-hydroxy acid twice daily. Over the counter available is Lac-Hydrin 5 which is 5% AHA. The doctor can prescribe Lac-Hydrin 12% which is more effective. Be careful of the other available alpha-hydroxy acids out there as they may have too high of a pH to be effective. Increasing the consumption of omega 3 fatty acids such as those found in salmon and cold-water fish and increasing the dietary intake of gamma-linolinic acid can also help smooth the skin. Take Borage seed oil (found in health food stores) twice a day or per bottle instructions. You should start to see smoother skin in about 3-6 months.
