(Question) I'm not seeing any results even after managing my keratosis pilaris.

At some point, I started noticing bumpy, goosebump-like patches on my arms and legs. . At first, I thought it was simply because my skin was dry, but , I looked it up and found out that this is called keratosis pilaris. . It doesn't particularly hurt or itchy, but it looks really bad. , I started to get really self-conscious because my skin looks messy up close. .

So, I am paying attention to various things to manage my keratosis pilaris in my own way. . I used to use an exfoliating towel often whenever I took a shower. , I heard that it actually irritates the skin a lot, so I'm not using it at all now. . I am trying to wash as gently as possible because I heard that minimizing skin irritation is more important than scrubbing off dead skin cells too hard. .

Also, I've heard that dry skin can worsen keratosis pilaris, so I'm paying attention even when I shower. . I used to like taking long showers or baths with hot water. , Right now, I am trying to avoid very hot water and take short showers with lukewarm water. . I am also trying to reduce my shower time compared to before. .

And after finishing a shower or bath, I apply moisturizer immediately before the water completely dries. . I purchased a specialized cream known to be good for keratosis pilaris and am applying it thoroughly to my arms and legs. , I am trying to reapply it frequently whenever I feel dryness, rather than just once a day. . Especially after showering in the evening, I have made it a habit to use a generous amount and massage it in to help with absorption. .

Even though I am taking good care of it in my own way, I don't feel like it has improved noticeably yet, so I feel a bit frustrated. . As the weather gets warmer, you will likely be wearing short sleeves or shorts more often. , I also feel like I would be more self-conscious about my arms and legs being exposed. .
