There is a no cure for keratosis pilaris. However, there are a variety of ways to treat keratosis pilaris. Some treatments include, topical lotions, exfoliating scrubs, sun-bathing and taking vitamins. The cost of treatments can be expensive and up to $100 per month just for topical lotions. This article will go over cost effective treatments for the price sensitive consumer.

Make sure that you exfoliate every other day. You can exfoliate with a light cleanser and a loofah. Make sure that the loofah is not too scratchy as heavy exfoliating will make your skin condition worse. Another option is to use an abrasive scrub that contains micro abrasion beads.

Once you finish exfoliating, use a topical repair lotion. The best types of lotion for treating keratosis pilaris are lotions that contain either; lactic acid, retin-a, or urea. Derma Doctor KP Duty Repair Lotion contains some of these active compounds but cheaper options include; AmLactin and Cortol-20. Make sure you are using some sort of lotion after exfoliating so that your skin can retain moisture. Excessive oil build-up from dry skin causes causes keratin build-up.

Scented soaps or soaps with heavy perfume and dyes can aggravate the skin and increase keratosis pilaris conditions. Try to use soaps that are hypo-allergenic and do not contains perfume or dyes. Cetaphil is a good cleanser as it's hypo-allergenic and unscented.

Sun bathing is a cheap alternative when treating keratosis pilaris. However, do not perform excessive sun tanning as your risk of skin cancer is higher when staying out in the sun too long. If you do sun bathe, remember to use a high SPF sunscreen and limit the duration in which you stay out in the sun. I've had good results reducing the red spots on my arms and legs by sun bathing.

Hydrate your body and skin by drinking lots of water. Drinking at least 8 cups of water a day will moisturize your skin, which will decrease the amount of keratin build up in the skin. Dry skin is due to a lack of moisture in the skin and drinking water will prevent your skin from drying out.

To wrap-up, make sure to follow these simple steps: Exfoliate 2. Moisturize 3. Use a gentle skin cleanser 4. Drink lots of water 5. Get some sun. Follow these steps and your skin will thank you. Keratosis pilaris can be treated if you put some effort into making your skin beautiful.
