Keratosis pilaris
How to deal with red bumps
The best way to deal with red bumps is by using an exfoliating product. This effectively clears the pore and makes dead skin cells easier to peel off. To start, choose a BHA-exfoliant with active salicylic acid that removes dead skin cells and cleans the pores on the inside. If your skin doesn't respond well to salicylic acid, use an AHA exfoliant. AHA also effectively removes dead skin cells, but is unable to penetrate into the pore. You should always maintain skin that's prone to keratosis pilaris as well. You can do this by constantly exfoliating it. If you stop, the red bumps will likely return, something which you definitely don't want.
