Will a chemical peel help clear my keratosis pilaris? (photo)

beba_660Feb 3, 2018
Hi I am 26 years old and I have keratosis pilaris on my legs arms and butt cheeks. I can't remember the last time I wore shorts or skirts because I am so embarrassed to show my legs I have tried different home remedies I've seen on YouTube to try and clear it but nothing seems to work. Will a chemical peel help my legs look better?

Are they little white bumps? If so these are milia, which can be treated by extraction of the white debris or exfoliation of the skin. Milia are very common after a chemical peel. In my office, an aesthetician treats this problem. Hope this helps.
