Do you have those annoying red bumps on your arms?



After I had my first child I noticed bumps on my arms, but it was just a few so I didn't pay too much attention. However, after my second child my arms were covered with these little red bumps and looked horrible. Self conscious of this imperfection I decided to ask my doctor about it. He nicely said "It's due to vitamin A & D deficiency" but I took pre-natal vitamins I thought. He recommended that I take vitamins and I did but nothing happened. So, I turned to my trusty friend, google search engine. After hours of research I learned that this condition is named keratosis pilaris, a hereditary condition. Oh great! But there's things you can do.

What works?
  • Loofah scrub in the shower daily
  • Ammonium Lactate Lotion 12% morning and night for two months
I'm happy to say my KP has mostly cleared up.
