I have Keratosis Pilaris on my legs for the past two years. I've tried so many dermo suggested creams, drink a lot of water, and take vitamins but nothing seems to work.

I'm thinking about getting a Lesar Treatment or a surgery. Do you think it would work?

Keratosis pilaris is a skin condition that appears as small pimples that have a dry ''sandpaper'' feeling. They are usually white but can be red and they do not itch or hurt. They are caused when skin cells plug skin pores. It is common in teenagers.

Treatment is not necessary as the problem usually disappears before the age of 30. You should take long baths (not showers) using a brush or buf-puf on the affected areas. After drying, cream should be applied. Creams of choice are Acid mantle, vaseline, complex 15, curel or lacticare. Sometimes, antibiotics will help.

There is no surgery for keratosis pilaris and laser treatment has had very disappointing results so I honestly think you will have problems finding a doctor willing to perform it. The majority of doctors will recommend the baths with scrubbing and cream.

Usually women are the ones embarrassed by a skin condition but guys get self-conscious too. My keratosis pilaris really got to me in my late teens. I got made fun of by my so-called friends and became dptressed and withdrawn. Comments like, what's that leprosy stuff on your arms?

I can't tell you how many dates and social outings I've missed because of keratosis pilaris. I always thought just what if I didn't have this. But thanks to this program I'm almost totally clear. I'm dating now. I'm actually asking my friends to go to the beach. I'm more outgoing. Life is good.

You really need to read "Banish My Bumps" by Angela Steinberg (also available in electronic format here: http://www.banishbumps.com ). It's about how to permanently cure your Keratosis Pilaris naturally. I was able to clear my skin in only 7 days after reading this.

Stop paying paying each month good money on creams. This is exactly what the pharmaceutical industry wants you to do! They want to milk money from you each month.
