Keratosis pilaris -- how can i get rid of it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dry skin: Benign skin skin condition often fades with age. Treatment of the dry skin areas usually involves moisturizing lotions, creams, vaseline, exfoliation agents such as glycolic acid, lactic acid, tretinoin, or steroid creams to help with irritation or redness of skin. Treatment generally long term and recurrences still common.
