How do i treat my keratosis pilaris

Nothing works well: You've already discussed urea, lactic acid, retinoic acid derivatives, salicylic acid, and perhaps lasers with your physician. Truth be told, nothing really works very well. At your age, the key to looking good isn't "perfect skin", but being physically fit, lean and muscled as appropriate for your favorite sport. Your friends will reassure you that the KP is a minor issue. Best wishes.

KERATOSIS PILARIS: ALSO KNOWN AS "RED, BUMPY DISEASE." ALOE VERA GEL MIGHT WORK FOR YOU; IF NOT, TRY THE OTC AMLACTIN LOTIONS (NO FINANCIAL INTEREST). IF NO BETTER, SEE A DERMATOLOGIST . . .
