A member asked:
For what reasons hasn't someone developed a cure for keratosis pilaris?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Difficult!: It is a dance between infection ( sinus) and the immune system! it is associated with chronic sinusitis, not allergies per se. I use antimicrobials to treat it. Causes for chronic sinusitis need be identified, and may be obtructive!
