Asides from the various treatments listed on the website, there are numerous other things to help take care of, not only your Keratosis Pilaris, but your skin in general. Nurturing and pampering your skin will not only make the biggest difference for your body, but it will also boost your self-confidence. Below is a list of various information and tips regarding Keratosis Pilaris:
- It often disappears with age, but for some it may be the opposite.
- Exfoliating is an important part of treating Keratosis Pilaris but over-scrubbing may irritate your skin which will cause even worse matters.
- Keratosis Pilaris may be caused by mild food allergies that you’d need to take a test for.
- Moisturizing is highly recommended to keep your skin from drying out.
- Sunlight (tanning) has been known to help with Keratosis Pilaris a lot. It’s personally not recommended as sunlight can cause skin cancer, but tanning may alleviate the skin.
- Do not scratch or pick at the bumps. It could possibly leave to scarring or irritation.
- Keratosis Pilaris may worsen during the winter when there is less humidity. You may also want to look into purchasing a humidifier for you room.
- After showering, do not over-dry yourself.
- Pregnancy has been known to cause huge outbreaks of Keratosis Pilaris.
- Keratosis Pilaris may be being caused by a vitamin deficiency.
- Apply lotion after you bathe to keep your skin moisturized.
- Keratosis Pilaris is a very strange skin condition. One thing that works for someone may not work for you. Please keep that in mind before you run out to buy your friend’s $300 “miracle lotion” that does nothing for you but moisturize your skin.
Have a tip that helped your skin that you think should be added to the list? Know of a product that worked well for treating “chicken skin”? I’d love to hear all about it.
