doctor keratosis pilaris stays in our body throughout life plz tell me

[@irenegaile]

In most individuals it resolves by the time you reach your 30s-40s.

[@edheepg]

Been suffering for more than 13 years. I dont even remember how my arms looked liked without it. The frustrating thing ever.🥺

[@irenegaile]

They often resolve when you get older. For now it's using a combination of moisturizers in the form of humectants and exfoliants

[@soglossytv9794]

Are buff puffs good for this condition when bathing

[@irenegaile]

U can use them occasionally but just don’t overdo it as it can actually make it worse. I recommend exfoliating and keratinizing lotions containing AHAs, Urea etc

[@cherryanngaasis5122]

Do u have any product suggestion for urea lotion po specifically 10% po? Thank you so much for the information po

[@irenegaile]

There used to be nutraplus 10% urea. Not sure if still available. Baka meron dn online

[@irenegaile]

11 year olds without skin issues dont need anything more than a gentle cleanser (cetaphil, physiogel, ceradan, aveeeno, dove etc), sunscreen when outdoors. Moisturizers only if they have dry skin.

Hi Doc! I've binged watch almost all your videos. 😊 Highly recommended talaga tong channel for those beginners pa lang sa skin care routine. Thank you! I'm so happy din na may content about KPs. I learned that this happens when the hair follicles get blocked causing bumps. Is it true that IPL or hair removal lasers would help prevent KPs after getting rid of bumps and pigmentation? Sana po mapansin. Thank you!

[@irenegaile]

Hello! Yay thank you for the support! Yes, laser hair removal and even IPL can help with the pigmentation. With the bumps i find that exfoliants work better :)

Hi Doc. I think i this thing on my skin is KP. I did checkups na with few dermatologist and the treatment doesn't seem to work. I'm still taking Montelukast that was prescribed by the previous dermatologist. It is very itchy especially at night.

[@irenegaile]

Montelukast? for KP or for something else? If that's the only think you are taking then your KP will definitely not improve. Maybe you need to see your derma again. KP is usually itchy because it's dry.
