Could being in the sun a lot help reduce keratosis pilaris?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not worth the chance: I have not heard of sun exposure helping. This is a difficult condition to treat. I would not risk potential skin damage and stick with more conventional treatments knowing that you will need patience and persistence.
