What Are White Bumps On Arms And Forehead Suggestive Of?

My daughter has white bumps on her arms (upper) and forehead. Mainly on her forehead, and even a few on her cheeks. As I have been looking/researching it appears they may be keratosis pilaris. What is the best way to treat this? She is 16 and is quite embarrassed by it on her face.

HI

Usually this clears on its own but treatment with alpha hydroxy acid and urea creams can speed up the process so she should consult a dermatologist
