I worked in a skin care clinic and we would recommend exfoliation both chemical and mechanical. There are dozens and dozens of products on the market but my preferred would be bio medic. This can only be found in doctors offices (if they carry this line) or I have found it online at www.prplastic.com

Keratosis Pilaris (KP) is a very common and completely harmless skin condition, typified by “chicken skin” bumps on upper arms, thighs, torso, buttocks and occasionally the cheeks. Excess skin forms around individual hair follicles, creating the characteristic minute, rough, grater-like bumps. Keratosis Pilaris affects almost 50% of the world’s population and is particularly likely to affect anyone prone to eczema, asthma or hayfever. Keratosis pilaris is an inherited skin condition, running strongly in many families, sometimes with a generally dry skin (ichthyosis). The way it is inherited varies from family to family, but often fits into an ‘autosomal dominant’ pattern – which means that there will be a 1 in 2 chance that each child of an affected parent will inherit the condition. No treatment clears keratosis pilaris satisfactorily, and ordinary emollients (moisturisers) are of limited benefit. Creams containing salicylic acid, lactic acid and/or urea are sometimes felt to be more effective. Several simple types can be bought or obtained on prescription, and there is no advantage to be gained from using expensive cosmetic or vitamin creams. In many cases it may be best to wait for the problem to improve on its own.
