Does this resemble Keratosis Pilaris? (Photo)

Asked By:m_sal in Los Angeles, California

Upper arm I've had KP since childhood and now (these past few months) my lower arm looks like this. What does this look like? KP? Ingrown hairs? It doesn't itch , it burns. It's dry with red & skin-colored bumps. It has similar pattern to my KP but it's way more irritated. It's getting worse and has been present for at least a few months. When I put on vanicream lotion it burns. For the past 3 years I've been shaving and lasering. Please help. Also what can I do to make it go away?
