Keratosis pilaris "chicken skin" arms

annakac, on November 14, 2018 at 10:16 AM Posted in Fitness and Health 0 8

Anyone have any tips for Keratosis pilaris on their arms? I feel like I have tried everything I can find on the internet to help calm the redness down but it hasn't done much, if anything and of course I have a sleeveless dress. Let me know if you have found any products or processes that work for you to help reduce the bumps and redness.

    My fiance does! His flares up from time to time. I found a lotion on Amazon, and a scrub he uses in the shower with a loofa. Have you tried either of those?

    I've heard the loofa isn't good for it so I stopped but maybe I'll start again. Do you know what the name of the lotion is? Basically open to trying anything!!

    Any lotion with an AHA in it is supposed to help. I have it, too. I tried one brand, CeraVe and it was TERRIBLE. It was so thick and goopy and sticky and I literally couldn't stand it - had to throw it out. Don't buy that one.

    Check out Nadine Baggott on YouTube - she made a video about this that you'll find more helpful.

    Yes, true, because it causes irritation.

    Hi there! I'm so sorry to hear that you're having a hard time with this! I did a little searching and found a few soups and cream that got great reviews. You could try the Mario Badescu 'Keratoplast Cream Soup', Kiehls 'Creme de Corps', and DERMAdoctor 'KP Duty Dermatologist Formulated Body Scrub with Chemical + Physical Exfoliation'. I always suggest doing more research before trying these products and of course consulting with a doctor just to be on the safe side!

    This is the lotion! I bought an exfoliating scrub pad too, he uses it a lot and says it works. He uses it with this soap!

    I read that too, he just wanted to try anything. He tried it and it ended up helping with the lotion. The lotion is thick though so he only uses it at night.
