Exfoliation helps with keratosis pilaris
Keratosis pilaris is a common skin condition characterized by skin-colored to red bumps on the outer upper arms or tops of the thighs. The bumps are caused by plugged hair follicles. You can remove the bumps by exfoliating. I recommend a wash or a moisturizer with alpha hydroxy acid or salicylic acid. The acid will help to dissolve the bumps. But, if you stop using it, the bumps will return.
