Here are my results for my Keratosis Pilaris Treatment as of week 4.  In my opinion, none of the topical lotions (AmLactin, Eucerin) are effective of clearing up KP WITHOUT exfoliating first.  The key is to exfoliate with a light scrubber AND THEN apply the topical lotions.  AmLactin and Eucerin made my skin smoother but did not necessarily reduce the red marks on my arms. Oh, and the AmLactin gave me  a pretty nasty rash on the skin between my upper arm and forearm.   There was no considerable improvement with the acne treatment medicine that I used on my chest. Glytone did not work at all!  My leg looks the same as the first day.   I would expect some results in four weeks and this hasn’t proven to be good or bad.

I had better results with the Derma Doctor Heavy Duty for Keratosis Pilaris.  I noticed that my leg was smoother and the red marks from Keratosis Pilaris has reduced in color.  There wasn’t a HUGE difference in color reduction, but I do notice that the red marks have faded slightly.  I’m going to continue using this product as the results are promising.  As for now, I’m going to discontinue using the other products and will start another treatment after a one week rest period.  Here are the pictures for week 4.  I hope that this blog has been resourceful to you.  Also,  I have added a link to the Derma Doctor website so that you can take a look at the product that has worked for me.  Remember, you need the scrub and body lotion as they work together to battle KP.

Sorry for the late post!  This is week 3 of my picture updates using topical treatments for my Keratosis Pilaris.  First you have to know something about me, I’m a skeptic and “seeing is believing” is my motto.  Saying that, I really do notice differences between the first week that I started this treatment and this week. The red dots on my left arm are starting to fade and same with the KP dots on my legs…especially the left leg. See for yourself and tell me what you think.

Not a big change from week 1 to week 2. My arms and legs feel a lot smoother than when I first started. However, I think regular use of any unscented mild lotion would make my skin smooth. The red dots are slowly going away in patches on my left arm (AmLactin). I’m going to give these lotions another week before I try something different.

So as you can see, there’s not much of a difference from the initial week and this week.  However,  I have noticed a few changes.

Right Arm – is MUCH smoother.  I did get a rash from the lotion (AmLactin) and it does burn if you have open cuts.  As for the KP dots,  I haven’t seen any improvement.

Left Arm – arm is smoother, but still have all the KP dots.

Chest – no change

Left leg -  is it just me or does it look like the KP has faded a bit on my leg?  My leg feels smoother from the the lotion as well, but that’s because I’ve been applying it twice a day.

Right leg – seems like the KP marks are clearing up a bit on this side as well.  The lotion is way thick so it takes a while to work in.

Back – no treatment
