Re: Waxing if you have kp on arms???

i've tried to wax...bcoz thought that hair is one of the factor that leads to those bumps (keratosis pilaris). i actually did wax my upper arm which hv been affected by KP. it's actually a bad idea...bcoz it makes my skin itchy and it turned out to irritate my skin. based from my experience, don't think it is advisable to wax if u have KP on arms..

Arrow Waxing if you have kp on arms

I have waxed my arms, including the upper/back of my arms, which is where the KP is. It did not worsen my KP in the least.
