A member asked:
Can i use honey and sugar to scrub away little bumps on my arms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: This is likely keratosis pilaris. This is a benign condition affecting many people. Glycolic acid topically applied may provide relief. A slightly stronger exfoliator than sugar is probably called for.
