Skin problems

Okay, anyone ever heard of this thing called

Keratosis pilaris?

Its when a gene in your skin gets mutated and instead of having soft skin, you have rough, blotchy, red bumpy skin

Look it up and youll see on images

But I have it and I hate it. My skin doesnt produce the oil to get rid of those dead skin cells which causes build-up, and makes my skin bumpy. I cant totally ever fix it and it will never go away, but I can treat it. Anyone else there have it and what can I use to treat it?

According to wiki you’re not alone… “Worldwide, KP affects an estimated 40% of the adult population and approximately 50%-80% of all adolescents. It is more common in women than in men”. I actually have that on my upper arms, didnt ever bother me though. Seems to get better in the sun…
