I have KP on my face, the area from my cheeks to my neck is covered in the bumps and redness. I also have fine lines and freckles. Is there a chemical peel that could help improve my skin, reducing the redness and bumps?

Answer: Facial Keratotis Pilaris There are many options to decrease the build up of keatin around the opening of hair follicle which is basically what is happening in this disrorder. Superficial peels (glycolic, alpha hydroxyl acid) can be temporarily helpful as can microdermabrasion. Topical use of an over the counter Retinol at nighttime or a prescription retinoid can help keep the problem under control. The condition often improves with time but can be along term issue.
