Prescription Treatments for Keratosis Pilaris
Prescription Treatments for Keratosis Pilaris What It Is: Sometimes, OTC chemical treatments aren't potent enough to put those bothersome bumps to rest. Other times, the ingredients themselves don't work with your body. In such cases, KP sufferers might need a prescription treatment, such as a high-concentration lactic acid cream, urea medication or even acne treatment.

"One of my favorite prescription treatments is Aczone," says Jaliman. "It's a topical acne preparation made with dapsone, which is an anti-inflammatory, but works well for this condition." Jaliman says she has also used prescription retinoids, such as Renova and Retin-A, for some patients.

Who Should Use It: In severe cases or when OTC treatments aren't making a dent in your KP, consult a dermatologist about trying a prescription medication.
