This condition has been persisting for the past 15-18 months. I never saw a doctor regarding this because I thought it might go away. This is the first time I am encountering this skin problem. For the time being I can send you an internet link. The image in this link looks exactly like mine WWW.WWWW.WW I encounter no itching or pain. Just roughness and dry skin.

Brief Answer: Adapalene and Salicylix Detailed Answer: Hi, Thanks for the information. Keratosis pilars is not a serious condition but only cosmetically unappealing. Hence can go for treatments which bring down the lesions mainly but not the process under. You can apply ADAPALENE ointment on the part affected in the night and SALICYLIX in the day. Do it for a minimum of 2 weeks to see some response and continue till the lesions disappear. Do apply moisturizer rest of the day to avoid dryness and subsequent itching and other complications.
