    Keratosis Pilaris
    I have Keratoisis Pilaris, and I just read about the wonderful things that sunflower and seasame oil can do for your skin and mouth when you have something like this.

    Has anyone ever tried it?

    Keratosis pilaris is a common skin disorder characterized by small, pointed pimples. The pimples usually appear on the upper arms, thighs, and buttocks. The condition worsens in the winter and usually clears up in the summer. Keratosis pilaris has no known cause, but tends to run in families. Since it is a genetic disease, therefore, no cure is possible. However, it normally clears up by itself.

    Initial treatment required intensive moisturizing and creams such as Vaseline or Acid mantle can be applied after a bath and should be re-applied several times a day. If no change occurs then a medicated cream containing urea or alpha hydroxy acids must be applied twice daily.
