Since I was a teenager I've had redness on my arms with little bumps-my sister calls me sand paper when we have to sit in a car together!! I've got a strapless dress & 5 mths to get my arms prepared for it!!
Does anyone else have this? Any tips? Harsh scrubs make it worse so something not too brutal please :)

I'm gold now wohoo!!

my H2B has this, it seems to clear up when he's out in the sun. So maybe go in the sun or on the sun beds to help clear it up

i used to have something like that on the top of my arms n legs. I exfoliate everyday in the shower with exfoliating gloves and the first couple of days its a bit sore and redder but i find within about 5 days its really smooth. if i don't do it for a few days it does start to come back. Mine also clears up by itself when i'm on holiday i think a mixture of all the sun and swimming in salt water

I've had this before and have managed to get rid of mine! Try using body scrub and a rough loofah when you're showering, it smooths out the skin and gets rid of the bumps. Well, it worked for me anyway xxxx

I've had this since as long as I can remember. It's bad on my legs and lower arms. When I was at school the kids used to take the p1ss saying I had the lergy and wouldn't pick me for teams. An 'ex' used to call me chicken legs!
My son has it as well. Well he got my good looks intelligence and charm so it had to even out with something bad ;0)
It looks better with a tan but I think that's just 'cos it hides the redness.

I would pop along to the doctor to see if he can diagnose what is causing it and he may be able to give you something or at least advice on how to control it.

OMG didn't think p uff would be censored!! lol

Gentle exfoliation, a good moisturiser and a bit of sun helps. Otherwise I disguise my legs with fake tan

I also get this on the backs of my legs. I find keeping it moisturised helps a lot xx

BUMP

No advice but just wanted to say I hope you find something that works for you hunni x

my son's arms and legs are like this, our doctor recommended aqua cream, which seemed to help, using it day and night, and you can buy a massive pot from wilko or a chemist :) x

I have had this since puberty try....... Palmers Moisturiser, sun exposure or Bio Oil all of which seem to help mine BUT nothing seems to get rid of it completely xxxx

I have this on the backs of my arms and they are blotchy :(

willing to try all sorts! hoping the sun will help a bit, we're in Jamaica for 5 days before the wedding so fingers crossed :)

St. Ives apricot scrub is helping. Still red but less bumps :)

I have had Keratosis as long as I can remember and I usually just exfoliate with gloves, and it hurts a bot at the time but it does make a difference.
My daughter (19 months) has a skin condition that has got progressivly worse in these winter months, everyone tried to tell me it was execma, so took her docs, turns out it's keratosis :(
I feel so bad that I've passed this horrible condition on to her, hopefully she grows out of it. The doc persribed her some oily bath stuff and moistuerizer to be used twice a day. I obv won't exfoliate her skin but does anyone else lo suffer from this? And how have you coped to make it better for them?
As a tip the doc told me when rubbing moistuerising always do it in a downwards motion, stroking the hair follicle down, as rubbing in circles or upwards upsets the natural hair flow and allows for further clogging of the pores. When reading this prob seems very obvious but I was certainly guilty of slapping on cream and rubbing in any which way, so just thought I would share as I really appreciated being told :)

i have this too... i got my makeup lady to cover my arms for my dress so it didnt show on wedding pics :)
still struggling with it thoguh...

I have KP and psorisis, I find for the KP foot works foot cream works brilliantly because it has extra moisturisers and a good dose of the sun usually clears it up. I had really struggled to get rid of my psorisis for years I had a small patch on my knee that grew into a large patch, then another patch appeared. This year when h2b were on holiday we spent most of our time on the beach and the patches were exposed to the sea, sand and my oily sun spray. Halfway through the holiday h2b pointed out that my psorisis had nearly gone. Since coming back from holiday I have been spraying oil on most days and there is only one bit of flaky skin. I find cures come in the strangest of forms.

some really good tips on here!!!

also try to keep off fatty foods, this can make it worse too x
