hi
keratosis pilaris is difficult to treat but not impossible.
u need to take treatment from dermatologist
it will take time but u need to stick one doctor so he can access well.
treatment like isotretinoin and other immuno modulator drug give good result.
cream with salicylic cream and steroid is effective
u need to regular application of the good moisturizer cream
drink more water and use moist soap only
dont use hot water to bath as it will increase ur condition .

Hello;
welcome to HealthcareMagic
Keratosis pilaris is a autosomal dominant genetic follicular condition and is manifested in form of rough bumps on skin.Since it is related to genes there is no known cure and only palliative treatment is possible.The regular treatment given contains use of vitamin A;Tretinoin;and even steroid.Presently you are on treatment which you need to continue.
Thanks
