I have blotchy upper arms but no bumps. Is there a treatment out there that would help reduce the redness like IPL or a chemical peel? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Answer: Blotchy red skin on the upper arms It appears that you have a hereditary condition known as keatosis pilaris, a harmless but annoying inflammation around the hair follicles often of the upper arm, thights and buttocks. IPL will take the red out, but the easiest home solution is the consistent use of an alpha hydroxyl moisturizer between 5 and 15% daily after your shower or bath (Amlactin, Neostrata or others).

Answer: IPL Just from looking at your photo it looks like a combination of the appropriate jessner peel + a series of IPL treatments would do the job. There are additional treatments such as laser resurfacing with either erbium or CO2 that could also be helpful
