How can you minimize Keratosis Pilaris from being so red and looking awful?

I'm still searching for something to significantly minimize the kp, but I've found that after showering and exfoliating, rubbing extra virgin cold pressed coconut oil onto the skin and continuing to rub it in under running water, and then blotting dry after getting out of the shower, helps the redness a lot and tones the skin.

To minimize the redness and appearance of Keratosis Pilaris, you can try using mild exfoliants or topical treatments containing ingredients like alpha hydroxy acids or salicylic acid to help unclog pores and reduce inflammation. Regularly moisturizing the affected areas can also help improve the skin's texture and appearance. In severe cases, consulting a dermatologist for additional treatment options may be necessary.

How do you get rid of keratosis?
AnswerI have that also, you can't get rid of it because it's inherited but if your use coconut oil it smooths your legs and makes it feel smoother.Another answerI have that and there is no cure. warm baths and lotion helps make it not as noticeable but unfortunately it will always be there. Its fun to scare people with though.Another answerOk, so I have KP and I don't like it obvious. I'm a 13 year old girl and its so hard to be a girly-girl when you have all this stuff on you. Its on the upper parts of my arms and I cant wear short sleeve shirts or cute tank tops. I think I will try the coconut oil stuff but I was wondering when you wear short sleeve shirts, do people usually notice it on you or not? I am 14 and have KP and I wear short sleeve shirts and tank tops all of the time! Not very many people notice it and I have it all over my arms and legs. When people do notice it they ask what it is and I just say I have a skin disease but its not contagious and the person just says oh and doesn't think anything of it. I know what you mean though. It is very annoying.Another answerI am 13 also and I HATE my KP Even on little 5 year old kid asked me once why I had a red rash on my arms. It is awful. BUT... I have been daily moisturizing with Hemp lotion and coconut oil for about a week now and guess what??? The redness and bumps are starting to fade in a lot of areas! If it keeps improving like this, maybe I can wear those camis I bought forever ago! I'm a little of a tomboy, but that makes no difference, every girl wants smooth, beautiful arms! Grrr, Jennifer Richards makes me mad. On Living withKP.com she talks about this wonderful break-through she's had about studying KP and how to get rid of it. "It can be all yours for only $47!"Yeah right. Most 13 year-olds don't have twenty in their pocket! If she really cared about all our poor selves she would let us in on a little more. Anyway, even if it may not work for you, Hemp Lotion (find it at most frug stores) and coconut oil (found at most drug stores and grocery stores) can't hurt you, and it is definitely worth a shot!
