I went to a dermatologist and I was told I had keratosis pilaris, and that it was not curable. I've come to understand this condition has a lot to do with the hairs in your skin, almost like ingrown hairs but a bit different. If that's the case, do you believe laser hair removal may help this problem because lotions haven't done a thing for me.
Answer:
Keratosis Pilaris is an extremely common condition affecting nearly 50% (or more) of the adult population. As your physician mentioned, it is not curable and therefore, laser hair removal probably won't help or he/she would have recommended it. I've attached several links about KP. Your best treatment is to educate yourself about your condition and follow your physician's recommendations, including the use of any topical creams he/she may have prescribed.Links:
