Although the condition may remain for years, it gradually improves before age 30 in most cases. Treatment of keratosis pilaris is not medically necessary; but, individuals with this condition may want to seek treatment for cosmetic reasons.
The initial treatment of keratosis pilaris should be intensive moisturizing. A cream such as AmLactin or LadHydrin can be applied after bathing, and then re-applied several times a day.
Therapy can eliminate the bumps, improve the texture, eliminate acne-causing plugs and improve the overall appearance. Chemical exfoliation needn't be fraught with irritation, redness or discomfor
Other treatments may include:
Medicated creams containing urea (Carmol-20) or alpha-hydroxy acids (Aqua Glycolic, Lacticare) applied twice daily
Efforts to unplug pores by taking long, hot soaking tub baths and then rubbing and exfoliating the areas with a coarse washcloth or stiff brush
Vitamin A Treatments
-Patients may turn to prescription vitamin A creams to help restore a smooth texture in recalcitrant cases or as a way to help treat keratosis pilaris complicated by acne. Potent over the counter retinols (up to 1%) are another option
-taning ,sun play a role in decreasing the lesions
