Is it possible to pop keratosis pilaris pimples?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Yes but pppping the pustules or keratin plugged hair follicles doesn't resolve the problem. It's best to use various moisturizing, vitamin a, or exfoliating lotions to help with the problem. It requires chronic treatment and tends to fade overtime.
