Question

What's the best lotion for keratosis pilaris?

Answer 1

I have Keratosis Pilaris myself and the lotion I use for it is the Excipial Urea Hydrating Healing Lotion.

Besides that lotion I also use the KP Elements cream and body scrub bundle while in the shower.

Using both products together offers the most effective treatment for keratosis pilaris and you use the Scrub in the shower in the morning, then apply the Exfoliating Cream after the shower.

It's expensive at $59.00 but works well and is well worth the cost.

I've also used some Apple Cider Vinegar before to treat Keratosis Pilaris which can also work in treating the Keratosis Pilaris if you can't afford the Cream and Body scrub.

Answer 2

Keratosis pilaris is a harmless skin condition which causes dry, rough patches and tiny bumps, often on the upper arms, thighs, cheeks or buttocks.

The bumps with keratosis pilaris usually don't hurt or itch. Keratosis pilaris is often considered a common variant of skin.

Keratosis pilaris can appear as round or oval-shaped waxy or rough bump, typically on the face, chest, a shoulder or the back.

A flat growth or a slightly raised bump with a scaly surface, with a characteristic "pasted on" look.

Varied size, from very small to more than 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) across.

Some actinic keratoses can turn into squamous cell skin cancer.

Because of this, the lesions are often called precancer.

They are not life-threatening.

But if they are found and treated early, they do not have the chance to develop into skin cancer.
