Reply:Seriously I have the same problem dermatologist told me after I shower I should pat skin dry not wipe my skin because this sucks the moisture out of the body and that causes keratosis. She suggested Aveeno. See if it helps. Good luck hope that helps!
Reply:My keratosis pilaris used to be a problem. When I became a vegetarian, it took care of it. I think it's because I'm not eating animal protein any more. I eat protein from vegetable sources now. I had tried all the lotions and everything. Nothing worked except becoming a vegetarian.
