KERATOSIS PILARIS?
I guess I have self diagnosed what is on my arms. Through reading a variety of online articles, I think I have Keratosis pilaris on my upper arms and even on my forearms. I have heard about it on the upper arms, but not on the forearms before. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get rid of the redness or even reduce it?
Answer: Keratosis pilaris is a very common but not-so-easy to treat condition of the skin. Most dermatologists recommend moisturizers used on a frequent basis with the idea that the pores which are impacted will soften and eventually open up. Some common over-the-counter moisturizers you can try are cetaphil or eucerin. Try not to squeeze them - and if they get red and appear to be filled with pus you may have a case of folliculitis going on which would require antibiotics. Try using simple moisturizers several times a day, especially after showering and before bed - if this doesn't work you may want to see a dermatologist.

How to cover KERATOSIS PILARIS on arms with makeup for a day?
My girlfriend wants to wear a sundress for a photo shoot but she has Keratosis pilaris on her arms...google it if you dont know what it is and would like to know.
She is mostly concerned with the redness.
She already uses lotions etc. Doesnt help.
Is there like a body makeup she can cover it with that will last ?
Thanks.
Answer: Try the Dermablend Leg Cover... You can use it on arms as well.
I have found 'Sheer Color'. It is the best for covering redness and leaving skin looking natural. I think it is only available through mail order. It was developed by dermatologists to hide redness, scars, and birth marks. It comes with a concealer. The makeup itself is mineral and gives good coverage, but it is light and natural.
If her arms flare up, I have found a product that contains Extra Virgin Coconut Oil helps calm the redness down.
You can also trry Pulse Dye Laser treatment. It is a little radical but it is long-lasting and helpful.
Palladio is NOTHING compared to bareminerals from bare escentuals. The only thing I have to say is that they have poor costumer service and organization. The makeup will cover redness in a very natural way. It will look like you have no makeup on.
One month ago I started using the Herbal wet & dry foundation and it is great. They are not very expensive, either. Well, on Amazon.com it is $14 dollars but I found it in Puerto Rico at $10. :D
I use eucerin 10% Urea lotion on my skin twice a day.
I also use Everyday Minerals makeup. They have a mint concealer that is great for covering redness. Also another concealer is Bisque; it is quite pink in color but it somehow manages to cover redness very well. These are used under mineral foundation. You can get free samples, although you have to pay a bit for the postage.
I am ignorant about UO, but this makeup is great for my skin! I bought it from the Sally Beauty Shop in the U.S. I think the mildness by being talc and rice may have something to do with it and I have found that titanium dioxide makes all my KP worse, whether on my face or arms (sunscreen) or what. It even has chamomile which I suspect is an allergen for me but maybe it's so little or it's tempered by other ingredients. I have even used it on my arms and legs when needed. O:)
Try Roc Skin Foundation.

Does Acneticin really work for getting rid of KERATOSIS PILARIS?
Im 13 and have Keratosis pilaris. Ive heard of this pill called Acneticin. From the reviews all around the web, I guess its like a miracle. How many of you have used this before and does it work?
Answer: Hello, the Acneticin is an acne treatment that is for people that haven’t seen significant results from the many run of the mill topical treatments. Almost all of these topical treatments contain some form of ìcleansing agentî, usually benzoyl peroxide. These agents are very mild acids that ìburn awayî dead skin, allowing younger skin to rise to the surface and flourish.

I have KERATOSIS PILARIS, what kind of foundation do you recommend to cover redness?
I have Keratosis pilaris and I was wondering if anyone knows of a foundation thatll cover redness and will last throughout the day. Some brands work but after about an hour or so or when I get really hot the redness on my face shows through...Ive tried max factor it works best so far. Ive also tried mineral makeups they dont work at all for me. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Answer: Do u get maybelline brands where u live??? Cos maybelline liquid to powder finish is xellent. It blends really well. Leaves skin flawless. Or else u buy a foundation which nearly matches ur skin tone or one which is a shade darker.This one is also gr8 for people with an oily complexion or a normal one.

Can KERATOSIS PILARIS alba be removed by a laser?
I have Keratosis pilaris alba on my upper thighs and buttocks, and I want it gone. Ive tried many creams and such, but nothing works, and its pain having to put lotion on all the time. Is laser keratosis removal possible? If it is, do you have any idea how much it is?
Answer: ive had it on my upper arm for 5 yrs now and just like you ive tried so many creams and lotions and went to so many doctors .. and nothing works
i think laser (for hair removal) does help because 6 months ago i went to this dermatologist and she did a little test on my arm and now six months later the area where i did the test is clear without any spots and also NO HAIR.. .
i waited this long because i have sensitive skin and i wanted to see if it really does work .. and it did
and she also said that it does go away 70% after 4 or 5 sessions
im gonna go do my full arms soon cuz im really sick of it
why dont you go make a test ,,,most laser centers do make a small test .. im sure it will work ..
good luck :)

KERATOSIS PILARIS?
I just found out I have this, and my dermo prescribed cetaphil. Is it any good? Also, do you have any suggestions for helping the Keratosis pilaris to go away. I know it has not cure and everything, but if you know anything that might help please tell me.
Answer: Cetaphil is one of the recommended medicines..
Don't let KP get to you. It's very common and most
likely will fade with age. Sunlight tends to help but
wear sunblock. Also, don't pick at the bumps or
scratch, it will only make it worse and maybe even
scar. Try to wear loose clothing so the material
doesn't rub and irritate the bumps. I know its probably
frustrating. I don't have KP but a friend of mine did.
If you have more questions, ask your dermatologist..
that's what they are for (:

how do you get rid of KERATOSIS PILARIS?
i have eczema, and this Keratosis pilaris came during my flareup and i have never ever had it and now my whole body is covered in these skin coloured bumps, is there a way to get rid of this?
any cleansing baths? or scrubs or remedies? i really just want my skin to go back to normal!
is it normal for Keratosis pilaris to just come out of nowhere? is it curable? are there any prescriptions like betamethasone or any other steroids that can fix it?
Answer: Treatments, elixirs, etc. are just going to be a waste.
The quickest and easy fix is a chemical exfoliant (for example a Glycol based one that you would use on your face) or even a physical exfoliant will clear it up in as little as three weeks. Enjoy your clear skin!

What would work better for KERATOSIS PILARIS scars: bio oil or maderma?
I have scars all over my arms from picking and scratching at my bumps on my arms, also know as Keratosis pilaris. I have heard good things about both, but before i go and spend $20 on cream, i want to know whats better! And if anyone had Keratosis pilaris and used a different cream to get rid of the scars, please let me know!!!
thanks!
Answer: I would recommend using Bio Oil. Its natural and from what ive seen cheaper. But i would recommend exfoliating your arms with any thing that will remove any dead skin and then rub on the Bio Oil. only thing is its really sticky so don't put it on right before you go to bed it will get on everything.

What are some home remedies for KERATOSIS PILARIS?
I have Keratosis pilaris on my arms, legs, and back. My mum wont let me see a dermatologist because she things I do not have to, but the little red bumps (not acne they are Keratosis pilaris) and red patches are so embarrassing especially with summer coming. Plz help. Thanx!
Answer: I just googled this myself earlier today and found there is actually quite a lot of information online from other sufferers talking about what helped or didn't help them. Mostly they suggest using a moisturising body wash and a loofa in a circular motion. Pat the skin dry and follow up by using a good moisturiser. Others are suggesting eliminating dairy or wheat from your diet. Some people say tanning or steam baths or saunas have helped them. I know how embarrassing this is for you as it really bothered me too as a teenager, but it isn't the end of the world. I think you should just google keratosis and try some of the things that others have suggested for yourself.

Thanks in advance :)
Answer: Keratosis pilaris (ker-uh-TO-sis pil-AIR-is) is a common skin condition that causes rough patches and small, acne-like bumps, usually on the arms and thighs. Though you may not like the sandpaper-like appearance of your skin, Keratosis pilaris isn't serious and doesn't have long-term health implications.
Keratosis pilaris can be frustrating because it's difficult to treat. Prescription medications and self-care measures can improve the appearance of your skin.

What are some Over the Counter treatments for KERATOSIS PILARIS?
From doing some research, and looking at pictures, I believe I have Keratosis pilaris (on my thighs). What are some over the counter treatments that work well to cure Keratosis pilaris?
Answer: Because it is hereditary, there is no way to cure or prevent Keratosis pilaris. However, it may lessen over time with age.
In some patients, the condition clears up on its own. When it does not, patients may choose to seek treatment for cosmetic reasons. There are several treatments aimed at softening the keratin deposits in the skin to improve its appearance. They include:
Moisturizing lotions. Dry skin makes the condition worse, so applying moisturizer twice daily is important. Lotions that contain urea help the skin retain moisture and products that contain lactic acid or salicylic acid help to dissolve and exfoliate the keratin. Moisturizer should be applied immediately after bathing.
Loofah sponges or brushes. Rubbing the affected areas after a long soak in a hot bath may help to unclog the plugged hair follicles.
Topical retinoids. Class of chemical compounds that are chemically related to vitamin A. These drugs regulate skin growth but can be very irritating.
These are just a couple of the available treatment for Keratosis pilaris. Take a look at this site for some additional information that I think you'll find helpful : ) It's great that you're educating yourself!
