I have KP on my arms. I have for awhile. I just recently learned what it was (I had to do an online search, when I went to the doctor she didn't know what it was and prescribed me 2 useless creams).
Online, it said to exfoliate everyday and wash with a salicylic acid soap (like for acne)... and I've been doing that. After exfoliation, some of the bumps go away, but I still have a whole bunch of red dots. Makes me arm seem red itself. I need to know how to get rid of this before summer. In March I will be going on vacation with my friend, and I'll be wearing a sleeveless bathing suit sometimes, so I need immediate help!
I'm going crazy!
And I've been doing everything I heard I should do, but the bumps and redness are still there.
Help!!!
How can I get rid of keratosis pilaris?
You are already doing nearly everything possible, but you could try some additional things that work for some people, but generally have a very slim chance of making a difference. You could try taking natural vitamin-E at breakfast and dinner, increasing unsaturated oils and fats in your diet (many types of nuts, unprocessed peanut butter, avocados, olive oil) and cut back on meats. Exercise 3-4 times a week that causes you to do a lot of sweating can also help or even better if you have access to a sauna or steam bath.
