Reply:There is no way to completely get rid of it you are supposed to grow out of it. I am still waiting... I have managed to reduce the appearence of it by taking a zinc and selenium vitamin and using a cream that has a 10%+ urea content it is now bareley visible and the best solution i've found in twenty years. Dry Exfoliating with a body brush once a week also helps
Reply:Keratosis pilaris is a hereditary condition in which keratin protein gathers in hair openings. (That's waht "pilaris" means.)





Kerain is what hair, nails, and top layer of skin are made of.





When kids get it on their face, they generally grow out of it around puberty or shortly thereafter.





it usually perists on the outer arms or legs, though.





Moisturizing and scruffing with a loofah sponge or Buf-Puf help, but need to be kept up and are usually not worth the effort in kids .





Best wishes.
Reply:I cannot give you a cure but I can give you my opinion and tips for treating this condition. I personally feel that stress is a contributory factor to this as with most skin conditions. The reason is, the skin is our first line of defence in our immune system and so when this is compromised it reflects in our skin first and foremost. Therefore, treatment should be to eliminate stressors which, sounds easy in theory I know. Secondly, take up yoga, diffcult at first but you get used to it afer a number of sessions. Thirdly, calendula (marigold) cream with tea tree essential oil added used before bedtime and left on overnight. Finally eat a diet to boost your immune system and take vitamin supplements that do this too, but check with GP if you are taking any medication that may conflict with supplements.
