Treatment Options:

1. Moisturize: Keeping the skin hydrated can help reduce the appearance of KP.
2. Exfoliate: Gently exfoliating the skin with a loofah or gentle scrub can help remove dead skin cells.
3. Topical creams: Creams containing urea, hyaluronic acid, or salicylic acid can help soften and remove dead skin cells.
4. Microdermabrasion: A non-invasive exfoliating treatment that can help improve skin texture.

Home Remedies:
