I've been dealing with Keratosis Pilaris on my upper arms for a few years now, and it feels like it's getting worse lately. I've been using Moisturex and Xerina ointment after my doctor recommended them, but it's been five months and I haven't noticed any improvement. I really want to find a way to get rid of this. Any suggestions?
