A member asked:

I have keratosis pilaris on my butt cheeks. it is not very red anymore, there is mainly just scarring left. will bio oil help or make it come back?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

BIO OIL: Exfoliation to unclog pores is at the top of the list of treatments using the bio oil would not be a good idea--this may cause more problems. Dermatologist will address this further for treatment and prevention
