Greetings. NO pics have been added or uploaded. Kindly resend your query on the common or private follow up forum with pictures. Keratosis pilaris improves with topical retinoids / topical keratolytic creams. You may also see qualified dermatologist for the diagnosis of your treatment and prescripion of the medicines. No prescriptions can be issued on the common practo forum. Warm regards, Dr Govind Suresh Mittal, Bengaluru
