Itchy Small Bumps While Sweating. Diagnosed As Keratosis Pilaris. Any Suggestions?
Hello, I contain small red bumps on my skin and it's just there. But I have also been having prickly/itching symptoms on my skin that only occurs when I'm hot. We have been to a doctor and they consider it to be Keratosis Pilaris. They have prescribe me medicine but it hasn't made any change. I won't be able to go to a Dermatologist until September due to their appointment schedule. I consider it to be a heat rash, but at the moment I am desperate for anything, I have had this for a year.

Hello,
Thanks for the query,
Keratosis pilaris (KP) and itching while sweating are different things.
KP is due to blockadge og sebaceous duct and can be treated with keratolytic creams.
Itch on sweat can be due to cholinergic urticaria or miliaria (prickly heat)
Meet a dermatologist.
