I'm experiencing these small pus-filled bumps and redness near my thighs, and it's really concerning me. On top of that, I've been dealing with Keratosis pilaris from my back below the neck down to my waist and above my elbows for about 10 years now. My skin is very sensitive, and I just can't figure out why all this is happening. Could there be a connection between these two issues, and should I be doing something differently with my skincare routine?
