What helped me immensely is applying Cetaphil+ coconut oil

ooo okay i’ll try it out
only thing is oil tends to clog my pores and worsen it do you put it on and then wash it off?

If I remember correctly I used to put Cetaphil on, massage for like 30 seconds and clean it a bit with water. For coconut oil I used to leave it all night on my face and shoulders.

Wouldn't something like tret + hydroquinone be most effective then. I'm not sure how suitable it is for bodily use tho

i might be wrong but looks more like Keratosis Pilaris

i used to have it, but fixed by using a strong cleanser on my arm and spending more time in the sun its also supposed to get better with age

i used to get pustules, im not sure what made me stop getting them but probably a combination of diet and skincare. idk havnt had any in a long time.

This is the cleanser i used, scrub your arm with it in shower daily until it goes away then do it just like once or twice a week to maintain.
Also im not sure if it helps but i put moisturiser on my arm after the shower too just cuz thats what i do to my face so makes sense to me.
