Those with Keratosis Pilaris - has it got worse since having a baby?

[bebespain]

Mine is worse than ever since having my baby 6 months ago. Before it was mainly confined to my upper arms and tops of thighs. Now it is all over my forearms even underneath and I have recently noticed it all over my back too. I am finding it more and more depressing especially with it being warm weather time.
I know there´s nothing that can be done for KP but wondered why it has got worse. Any advice, anyone...?

Hormones, I believe. For me it got worse after ds1, but cleared up completely at some point after dd. It has not returned since ds2 was born.

Exfoliation, massage and moisturising can help. Dh has it quite heavily on his upper arms, and a Turkish Hammamm massage - which is vigorous and soapy, but uses sponges and cloths rather than rough exfoliators - cleared it up completely. But only temporarily.
