Does anyone know anything about Keratosis Pilaris?

That stuff that looks like acne. I only just realized that I have a mild case of this and while i read that It has only cosmetic consequences I read that one of the things that causes this is food allergies such as dairy. I used to be lactose intolerant when I was a baby and was wondering if this might be the cause? What do you guys think?

This from Wiki


The condition often improves with age and can even disappear completely in adulthood, though some will show signs of keratosis pilaris for life. Some treatments are largely symptomatic and may need repeating. Regardless, exfoliation, intensive moisturizing cremes, lac-hydrin, Retin A and medicated lotions containing alpha hydroxy acids or urea may be used to temporarily improve the appearance and texture of affected skin. Milk baths may provide some cosmetic improvement due to the lactic acid — a natural alpha hydroxy acid in milk. Sunlight may also be helpful but increases risk of skin cancer. Small amounts of vitamin A can be used orally but only with extreme caution due to potential for liver damage. Check with a dermatologist or family doctor before taking extra vitamin A due to the its potential toxic effects. A more safe and effective treatment is applying coconut oil to the affected area. Use the coconut oil when in the shower; this should help eliminate the bumps and may even prevent the return of them permanently.





Scratching and picking at KP bumps causes them to redden, and in many cases will cause bleeding. Excessive picking can lead to scarring. Wearing clothing that is looser around the affected areas can also help reduce the marks, as constant chafing from clothing (such as tight fitting jeans) is similar to repeatedly scratching the bumps.





Food allergies may also exacerbate the condition, causing hyper-keratosis pilaris, gluten and dairy being common culprits.





Good luck !
