Keratosis pilaris (KP) is an inherited abnormality of keratinization affecting the follicular orifices with keratotic follicular plugging, perifollicular erythema and follicular atrophy, particularly on the extensor aspects of the upper arms, thighs, and on the buttocks. The prevalence of KP varies from 15% to 40%, often beginning in early childhood. It is a cosmetically concerning skin condition that can be treated withemollients, keratolytics, topical steroids, chemical peels, topical or systemic retinoids, and various laser or light-based therapies which have been tried with variable success.Here we are comparing TCA 15%chemical peel vs Tretinoin 0.05% cream for the treatment of keratosis pilaris.
