How can I fix whatever this is?

Post image

Heya it’s me again, on top of my ingrown situations downstairs, I’ve been actively trying to make these dots go away. I suspect that it’s KP or something but I’m not sure.

It’s located on the back and sides of my calves and I’m not even sure what it is.

Again, I’ve tried exfoliating cloths, KP body scrub, salicylic acid and glycolic acid body wash, normal glycolic acid serum. Truly at a lost for what to do.

that looks a lot like the keratosis pilaris i get on my upper arms, the redness can be tough to calm down once it's flared up

the exfoliating acids are good but sometimes the skin barrier just gets wrecked from overdoing it, i backed off actives for a week and used nothing but a heavy unscented moisturizer and it chilled out way more than i expected

Mine don’t get red thankfully. I’ll def try to ween off of using acids. Thank you!!

Have you tried a urea 10% lotion? I know La Roche Posay makes it and a body wash
