I have Keratosis Pilaris all over (literally)!! Are there any homemade remedies to lessen its appearance?

I have it on my upper arms (red, and still appearing no matter how much I moisturize/exfoliate), on my knees (or so it looks), ALL OVER MY HIPS AND CALVES (not red, looks like goosebumps that never go away and feel horrible and rough).





Does anyone have any homemade remedies to soften it a little bit or make it less noticeable? It is horrible!

Have you tried any alpha hydrox lotions? I have it pretty bad on the backs of my upper arms and do this routine daily: scrub (hard...almost 'til it hurts) with a nail brush or body brush, dry off, apply alpha hydrox lotion (I use the neoteric brand, but there are others). If I do this RELIGIOUSLY they seem to stay away. Don't pick the bumps...whatever you do...they just get worse and can leave dark marks where the bumps were. I hope this helps!
