how do you get rid of keratosis pilaris?

---

i have eczema, and this keratosis pilaris came during my flareup and i have never ever had it and now my whole body is covered in these skin coloured bumps, is there a way to get rid of this?
any cleansing baths? or scrubs or remedies? i really just want my skin to go back to normal!
is it normal for keratosis pilaris to just come out of nowhere? is it curable? are there any prescriptions like betamethasone or any other steroids that can fix it?
Treatments, elixirs, etc. are just going to be a waste.

The quickest and easy fix is a chemical exfoliant (for example a Glycol based one that you would use on your face) or even a physical exfoliant will clear it up in as little as three weeks. Enjoy your clear skin!  (+ info)

What can I do to help my skin condition, keratosis pilaris?

---

I have a skin condition called keratosis pilaris. I was born with it and I get little white bumps on my arms and legs. It looks like pimples/acne but it's not. I have tried every lotion and scrub, but nothing has worked. Does anyone have this skin condition who has had success in reducing the bumpy appearance?

Also, because I have been picking at the bumps for years, I've gotten scars. Is there a good cream or lotion to make the scars fade away?
If you keep on scrubbing and loading on products with tons of chemicals it is only going to make your skin get more irritated. If I were you I would such to all organic products. Coconut and emu oil are wonderful for skin. Raw organic shea butter is wonderful also.

Try going to a health store or look online..I get everything from rose mountain.

There are many organic oils out there that help reduce inflammation, reddness, scars, etc.  (+ info)

How can I get rid of the appearance of Keratosis Pilaris?

---

Ok so I've had keratosis pilaris for practically all of my life. Its been bugging me ever since. So today I went to the doctor and they said I indeed have keratosis pilaris, and gave me a prescription to buy this special lotion. I don't know how else can I resolve this quicker and make the bumps go away and feel smooth.
keratosis pilaris isn't curable, but this will diminish it's visibility..

There is this new popular cream that people have been talking about.

It was even televised on TV.

It prevents future and existing acne, diminishes scars, and lightens skin and blemishes. Fast results too! (It's been claimed that major results can be seen within a week and no later than two weeks)

Before and After photos are available at the given ebay site.

This person is providing 1-3 week trial samples (Only for ONE DOLLAR.. definitely a deal) on ebay at:

Search up "Cee En's Acne Solution" or "best acne solution ever" on ebay.

First 100 customers can get the item for $1 for one week trial and up to 3 weeks. Or you can purchase 1 month supply for $40 or 6 month supply for $160

It's expensive, but the product DOES work.

My sister and cousin who both have major acne have tried the product and they both give it thumbs up. I have also heard many great feedbacks about this cream.

I don't have a problem with acne, but it seems to have great results on my sister who has moderate to severe acne. Her acne swelling went away overnight.

check the seller's feedbacks on the cream


I hope this helps. =)  (+ info)

Can being in the sun a lot help reduce the appearance of Keratosis Pilaris?

---

I have very pale skin and my skin condition shows a lot. Even more so now that its summer. I know there isn't a real cure for Keratosis but if any Dermatologists know of any ways that might help reduce the break-outs I will be so grateful.
Keratosis Pilaris is caused by over growths of dead skin over the hair follicle. The quickest and easy fix is a chemical exfoliant (for example a Glycol based one that you would use on your face) or even a physical exfoliant will clear it up in as little as three weeks. Sun can help some (because it dries our the skin making the dead skin cells fall off more), but make sure you are using sun screen. Enjoy your clear skin!  (+ info)

What is the best way to get rid of keratosis pilaris (pimples on arms) ?

I have a really bad case of keratosis pilaris; I have a lot of pimples on my upper arm. It's really embarrassing and I'm tired of having to wear sweaters and long sleeves all the time, even when it's 90+ degrees outside. What is the best cure for it (preferably something I can just get at a local drugstore)?
there is no cure for keratosis pilaris.. but this will help diminish its visibility..

Are there any inexpensive and affective treatments for Keratosis Pilaris?

---

I have Keratosis Pilaris (chicken skin) and I haven't been able to find anything that really works. I've gotten lotions from my doctor but that doesn't completely help.
Is there any inexpensive and affective treatment that really helps or helped you?
Thanks in advance!
Try a loofah to exfolitate:

To treat keratosis pilaris patients can try several strategies to lessen the bumps. First, the patient can supplement the natural removal of dry skin and papules by using a loofah or another type of scrub showering or bathing. A variety of different over-the-counter (OTC) lotions, ointments, and creams can also be applied after showering while the skin is still moist and then several times a day to keep the area moist. Medicated lotions with urea, 15% alphahydroxy acids, or Retin A can also be prescribed by the dermatologist and applied one to two times daily. Systemic (oral) medications are not prescribed for keratosis pilaris. However if papules are opened and become infected, antibiotics may be necessary to treat the infection.


I hope using a loofah, or something similar, helps you. As you no doubt already knew (and can read in the article), keratosis pilaris is difficult to treat. Good luck.  (+ info)

How to reduce appearance of Keratosis A-K-A Chicken Skin?

---

For anyone who knows how to treat or reduce the appearance of it please help. I've tried many expensive and cheap lotions and soaps specifically for Keratosis, but there's little to no improvement at all.


I doubt it, but would a chemical peel work on this kind of a skin problem? Serious answers please.
I don't think that there is anything that can reduce the appearance.

You will have to schedule a trip to your dermatologist. The dermatologist will inject each of them with a solution to shrink them. It is fairly inexpensive.

You'll spend more money investing in other advertised product solutions!!!  (+ info)

I was wondering about girls and keratosis pilaris?

---

I know that 50% or so girls are affected by keratosis pilaris but at my school there is not one girl who I can see with it. At prom everyones arms were KP free. I am an 18 yr old male with KP and I know some fat guys who have it and I use to be fat. Do you have to be fat to get keratosis pilaris?
No, you don't have to be fat. And the KP is smaller on women than men, because we're smaller overall. And we spend a lot more time caring for our skin than guys do. We exfoliate, scrub, and moisturize. If you did that, your KP would be less visible too.  (+ info)

Does anyone know of any cures of Keratosis Pilaris? Does Laser Treatment work?
