Keratosis pilaris, ?: It sounds like you have either keratosis pilaris or, if you shave, ingrown hairs.. It may help to use lotions that exfoliate the skin and open the hair follicles, like lachydrin, (lactic acid) but sometimes that can aggravate the problem. Either way, the skin needs to get hydrated. Avoid soap, hot water, and use coconut oil on your skin as soon as you have finished showering, but before you dry. Good luck.
