is it folliculitis or keratosis pilaris? Do I need laser hair removal? (Photos)

It's difficult to tell from your pictures. Laser hair removal may give improvement. Keep in mind, it will take a series of treatments. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a laser hair removal expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question. It is difficult to give you advice on your photos. However, laser hair removal treatment may help give you improvement. Please remember it typically takes 6-9 treatments spaced 4-8 weeks apart to see 70-90% reduction. I recommend having a consultation with an expert to determine the best treatment plan for you. Best of Luck!
