I've had keratosis pilaris for over 10 years and nothing seems to help - would plastic surgery be an option to finally get rid of these bumps? I've tried all the creams and treatments but my skin still looks rough and red

While plastic surgery isn't a common or typically effective treatment for keratosis pilaris (KP), there are other options that can help improve the appearance of your skin. Keratosis pilaris is a common skin condition that is generally harmless and often resolves on its own with age.

I've been dealing with ringworm for a year now, and allopathy hasn't really helped. I've switched to Ayurveda, and it seems to be showing some good results. But I came across something online that mentioned Salicylic Acid or sapat lotion might work fast, like in just two days. I'm pretty frustrated at this point and would really appreciate an honest answer. Is there any truth to this idea?
