keratosis pilaris - alypaly? anyone?

[nightcat]

hi aly, is there anything you know that could help to get rid of this in my ds? Have been using urea cream, but do you think your pin-trick would help?
Drs say there is nothing you can do??
He massages sking roughly, also been taking some zinc, Bs, omegas, this is helping slightly, but still many 100's to go.. upper arms, upper legs, back.. Or am I expecting too much too soon?

Both my sons have this and so do his father and I. My youngests is fairly bad right now and I have spent ages putting creams on, but now I just leave it, it will not go and I have put up with it all my life. My DS2 has it on his cheeks, its unsightly but what can you do, I don't want to do to much in the way of trying to get rid of it incase it makes him concious. I don't care anymore I go sleeveless all the time. My DS1 has come out well with alot of them going.

I do use badger balm baby on occasion, I have also read that it get worse in winter as they do not get the sun on them. Its also worse if he does not get a bath every day.

I use Method 'squeaky green, rice water and mallow body wash'.

thanks q/e, will try to add to my repertoire..
I am hoping aly can add some widsom too.., u there aly?
