KP duty is good to treat Keratosis Pilaris.
Treatment
This is not a curable disease but surely a controllable disease. If you manage to remove the excess keratin that surrounds the hair follicle, you can keep your skin healthy.
Glycolic acid works as a good defoliator. Your doctor may prescribe you a good glycolic acid formulation. Lactic acid is also a good exfoliating agent that can be used successfully. Urea is a good keratin softener. Consult your doctor about the right formulation that may also contain a little vitamin A derivatives that peel away the excess skin. Keep your skin moisturized to fight the dryness.
Has anyone tried somthing called KP Duty for Keratosis Pilaris?
No, but you can also exfoliate the area with a gentle body scrub
(Aveeno radiant body scrub, $7-$10 at your drug store) and over the course of one week it will be dramatically reduced.
Reply:I have it on my arms and another place... ahem... anyway, the only time it goes away is if I go to the tanning salon. (which is not advisable, I guess)
