Dealing with keratosis pilaris can be challenging, and I understand your concern. While regular moisturizing and gentle exfoliation are good practices, it's essential to consult with a dermatologist for personalized advice and targeted treatment.
Keratosis pilaris is a common skin condition characterized by small, rough bumps caused by the buildup of keratin. I can recommend specific skincare products or prescribe medications that may be more effective for your individual case.
I encourage you to schedule a consultation to discuss your current skincare routine, the products you're using, and any concerns you have about your keratosis pilaris. I can provide a thorough evaluation, offer tailored recommendations, and guide you on the most effective strategies for managing and improving your skin condition. Seeking professional advice is crucial for finding the best approach to address your specific needs.
