Rash on tighs

After my baby was born (section) I started getting pimples on my thighs. I put it down to sweaty nights due to breastfeeding, tiredness, lack of time to shower and so on. But three months on I still have it on both thighs despite regular washing and feeling good overall. Any idea what is causing it or how to get rid of it?

It looks like keratosis pilaris www.nhs.uk/conditions/keratosis-pilaris/

@IodineQueen Thank you. That sounds very plausible. The part about it taking years to clear up is unfortunate.

I had KP on my arms - found good exfoliation followed by a moisturiser helped a lot

OP how old are you? Sometimes it spontaneously disappears when you reach 30. I was 31 when KP on my upper arms randomly disappeared.
