(I think that's how it's spelled). I have it and have had it since I was about twelve. It's also called "chicken skin" and generally does show up in places like your arms and your back. It's a genetic condition (although no one else in my family that I know of has it) and cannot be cured. All you can do is control it. There are prescription creams that a dermatologist can prescribe, but they can be expensive. Am Lactin is similar, cheaper, and can be bought over the counter. I've tried putting on baby oil every night after I shower and that seems to help. Right now I'm experimenting with vitamin E skin oil. The best thing to do is talk to a dermatologist first to see for sure if that's what it is. It might be keratosis pillaris. (I think that’s how it’s spelled).
