4 Steps to Get Rid of Strawberry Arms | RenewMD Wellness
‘Strawberry skin’ is a term given to the pitted or dotted appearance of skin, more commonly on the arms and/or legs. Known medically as Keratosis Pilaris, it is caused by dead skin and debris trapped in hair follicles, often worsened by shaving.
For those seeking to improve this benign but troublesome condition, begin by gently exfoliating with products containing salicylic, glycolic, or lactic acid three to five times a week. Follow by applying a rich moisturizer with ceramides or fatty acids. Consider taking shorter, lukewarm showers and exploring long-term hair removal methods like laser treatment to reduce further irritation and improve skin appearance.
