I have a type of keratosis. Any cures?

I've heard everything between having surgery and shaving it off. I've also heard that it goes away pretty quickly. Mine is spreading. I can't even find any pictures on medical sites that look like mine. Please help!

I have a type of keratosis. Any cures?
There are Keratosis Pilares kits available. Some of my clients have found that the Genesis Kit (you can look up Genesis Pharmaceutical, Inc. to order) has worked. About 5 years ago I had a patient that we tried microdermabrasions on %26amp; it worked.


Since this is not a conventional way of treating Keratosis (but I have seen great results), discuss this alternative with a reputable cosmetic/medical office.


Please don't try to shave the bumps! you could cause permanant scarring %26amp; a whole new problem.


Good Luck!

Reply:If you have Actinic keratosis here are some treatments.








Various modalities are employed in the treatment of actinic keratosis:





Cryosurgery, e.g. with liquid nitrogen, by "freezing off" the AKs.


5-fluorouracil (a chemotherapy agent): a cream that contains this medication causes AKs to become red and inflamed before they fall off.


Photodynamic therapy: this new therapy involves injecting a chemical into the bloodstream, which makes AKs more sensitive to any form of light.


Electrocautery: burning off AKs.


Immunotherapy: topical treatment with imiquimod (Aldara™), an immune enhancing agent


Different forms of surgery.


Regular follow-up after treatment is advised by many doctors. The regular checks are to make sure new bumps have not developed and that old ones haven't become thicker and/or have skin disease.
Reply:I also have keratosis pilaris. I've read that it could be caused by an Omega-3 deficiency. I've started taking fish oil supplements for a month now and I can see that it is starting to make a difference.
