Keratosis Pilaris

This may be niche but it does say on Google/chat gpt its common in toddlers. My 1.5yr old has keratotis Pilaris (chicken skin/strawberry skin - lots of tiny red raised bumps) the tops of his arms, legs and cheek. Anyone else’s children have this? Did you use anything clear it up? Thanks x

I had this as a child and still do. I was prescribed E45 cream from the gp to help manage it so I’d get on to 111/gp

Hiya! My daughter really suffers with this and it flares up,....I've read online it can be starting from the gut microbiome or intolerances
...so I'm going to get her a test, because what the body can't process the skin shows!
Creams etc can help, best not to exfoliate as it agitate the skin but yeah ... Xx

Hiya,
Did you get any cream for the KP for your little one. My daughter has had it for 7 months and it isn’t getting any better. I’ve use a soap substitute on her and epimax cream or double gel cream but it doesn’t seem to get any better.
