KP: Keratosis pillaris or "goosebumps "or "chicken skin"- did you have it before?Or it came after isotretinoin? You used Isotretinoin for 3 months. You should discuss with your dermatologist who prescribed the medication, for possible repeat or other treatments for kp like glycol, urea, dermabrasion, light, laser therapy. Kp usually resolve around age30. See your dermatologist. Thanks.
