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 having these relentless itches all over my body, day and night, and it's driving me crazy. There are these bubbles and rashes popping up everywhere, even on my head, and I'm really worried. Can you tell me what might be going on and how I can make this itching stop?

Could be indicative of an allergic reaction or dermatitis. I recommend taking an antihistamine such as Cetirizine (brand name Zyrtec) 10mg once daily to help relieve itching and rash symptoms. Additionally, applying a soothing lotion containing calamine or hydrocortisone to the affected areas can also provide relief. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm starting to worry about why this is happening and what I can do to stop it. What's going on with my hair, and are there any solutions you recommend to help with regrowth or strengthening?

Minoxidil 5. for local application ,once daily for 3-6 weeks is advised, tab finasteride 5 mg once daily for 3-6 weeks is advised to the patient.
