Keratosis pilaris

2023-01-04 17:55:46
I am waxing my legs since three years and sometimes I epilate as well. I am in doubt if using epilator triggers this problem. I have bumpy skin and spots on my legs as shown in the picture. I have also consulted doctor and she suggested me xerina cream but it hasn't shown much improvement. It also feel itchy sometimes
