Keratosis Pilaris
Has anyone gotten really bad keratosis pilaris since they’ve been pregnant? And found anything that gets rid of it?
I’ve had it on and off my whole life but only a little on the backs of my arms. Ever since I’ve been pregnant this time (#2) I have it ALL over the backs of my upper arms up to my shoulders and all over only my left forearm which I find weird. Sorry for the gross pic.
I’ve tried manual exfoliation, doesn’t work. And some glycolic acids with 0 luck. (I believe those are safe during pregnancy.) I haven’t used them on a consistent basis, though, because it’s hard to hold my son without him touching it. I mainly only use if I’m wearing long sleeves or at night.
Thinking at this point I’ll just have to wait until this pregnancy is over to see any relief — I hope!! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated😁
