A member asked:

5 wks post pregnancy, severe keratosis pilaris on arms legs back chest & neck. doc gave triamcinolon but not working. what is best prescription?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Lac-Hydrin: Keratosis pilaris is not the same as atopic dermatitis. It is an inability of the skin to exfoliate, to turn over if you will. It is common and passed down as autosomal dominant. The best prescription for this is Lac-hydrin. Alternatively you can try moisturizers that have alpha hydroxy acid or glycolic acid in them.
