Dr. Michael Zacharisen answered

Specializes in Allergy and Immunology

keratosis pilaris: Kp or keratosis pilaris is a common skin finding associated with eczema. The raised papules commonly occur as plugs in the hair follicles on the upper arms and outer thighs. They usually do not itch significantly. Treatment is available (for cosmetic purposes) but not necessary.

Help! I have bad eczema but all my eczema products like desonide and elidel that my old derm gave me cause me to breakout and get lots of cystic pimples and even some whiteheads. If I try to treat the breakouts with acne stuff it dries out my skin?
