A member asked:

Is it a good idea to use hair removal creams such as veet or revitol, on areaswith keratosis pilaris?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Any cream strong enough to dissolve hair can irritate the skin. If it is already dry from a skin condition like keratosis pilaris it may be more likely to irritate.
