I have had keratosis pilaris on my upper arms and legs for all my life (22 years old). Even a few (very few) on my face. But all of a sudden 2 days ago I notices very teeny tiny flesh colored bumps(very close to one another) on my face, that changed the texture of my skin. They are not red, but I didn't know if it sounded like early stages of keratosis pilaris rubra faceii. These bumps are tinier than the ones on my legs and arms and earlier ones on my face. Please help!!!! They are irritated, but only because I have been touching them, for I am not used to the feeling of my skin. I thought I would outgrow this by now(I'm 22).

Hey, for your face try using Replenix Fortified Exfoliation scrub. Go to SkinStore.com Use it every OTHER DAY. I have had the same thing. When I started to use the scrub it help the desire of wanting to pick at it decrease. BUT, using it every other day on my face made it more red and sometimes more irritated. So use it every other day gently scrubbing. I loathe this skin disorder. It can cause you to be self conscious and introverted. I wish for it to go away. I just put the lotions and creams on while taking vitamins and trying different diets. All of it to try to make it go away on my arms legs back and a little on the face. Sometimes its better, sometimes not. But try this on your face. It helped mine
good luck -Kelly

hi guys!
I am a KPRF sufferer (it sux i hate it its apain in the ass) and i have found the BEST thing for it is retinol A cream, i use the neutrogena one called ' healthy skin antiwrinkle' it really tones down the red i love it.. use it morning and nite, discovered its effectivness by using my dads - its apparantly really good for wrinkles (the dermatologist recommended it to my grandma) oh and apparantly thiis is going off the market soon (Nooooo!)

also, my dermatologist put me on tretinoin (a prescription retinol a cream) which he said he had some success with others on, and he is a top derma. but i found it burned and flaked like crazy and was therefore really hard to wear makeup over and cope with... but apparantly thats normal for the 1st couple of weeks coz then its sposed to work, as it targets shedding of new skin cells to counter the rednees and sweling caused by the the over kertinization of the KP.. something like that. i am going to try go back on it, seems like it should work, my doc said laser was prob a waste of time as it would come back but i could get it later (im 21) for the broken capillaries when the condition goes away which he reackons will happen by age 25/30....
