Does anyone know anything about Keratosis Pilaris?!


Question: That stuff that looks like acne. I only just realized that I have a mild case of this and while i read that It has only cosmetic consequences I read that one of the things that causes this is food allergies such as dairy. I used to be lactose intolerant when I was a baby and was wondering if this might be the cause? What do you guys think?

This from Wiki
The condition often improves with age and can even disappear completely in adulthood, though some will show signs of keratosis pilaris for life. Some treatments are largely symptomatic and may need repeating. Regardless, exfoliation, intensive moisturizing cremes, lac-hydrin, Retin A and medicated lotions containing alpha hydroxy acids or urea may be used to temporarily improve the appearance and texture of affected skin. Milk baths may provide some cosmetic improvement due to the lactic acid
