I need advice on a skin condt. called Dermatitis Karatosis {sp?}:?


I have a skin condition called Dermatitis Karatosis. It looks like rash and is mostly on the arms {sometimes cheeks}. My Dr. said it was hereditary and could never be cured..but possibly 'tamed'. I've used a product called Betamide Lotion which has Urea in it...but it only seemed to aggrivate it more. I have also used tea tree oil and witch hazel. As a kid I never had a problem with it and only noticed it to appear in the last five yrs. In the last six yrs I was on psychiatric meds and wondered if that was a part of it's appearance. I have recently stopped all the meds and have been off of them for a year now. It still hasn't cleared up. Any suggestions????

Try either one of these two websites....

For more type in keratosis dermatitis into Yahoo! Search engine. It is also called keratosis pilaris.

Good luck!
