Default Keratosis Piliaris

I believe what we are all dealing with is something known as keratosis piliaris. I have had trouble with this every since I was a teenager. After trying multiple products and trips to the doctor to try to clear it up I feel defeated. The last doctor that I went to said that the best ways to "treat" this is:

Clean the area with alcohol
Apply a think layer of petroleum jelly to the affected areas.

I have been doing this for sometime now and I have noticed a difference in the appearance of the "acne". I have some problem areas especially my arms but I have it under control now and am happy because its not so severe.

Good luck and thanks for istening.
