what should i do for pimples on legs?

[funhouse8]

Well my DD came down yesterday morning and told me she has pimples on her legs and can't get rid of them. she uses that new shaver with the lotion in it and shaving cream. She said she had these for a while before she started to use the new razor. What do we use to get rid of these? Thanks, Gina

Phisoderm makes acne body wash I believe. Also, I have some Clean & Clear Acne Spot Treatment, it's really great, as long as they haven't been popped, then it hurts like the dickens. Maybe she could try some of that, and wear shorts to bed?

Also, have you considered the option of caratosis (sp?) I thought it was acne on my arms, but it turns out that I have caratosis, and for that I just try to exfoliate a lot and keep my arms really hydrated.

Hope this helps!

It may also be foliculitis or contact dermatitis-are her legs itchy?

It is called Keratosis Pilaris. I have it and hate it. I wished that the # of dermatologists I saw over my my life had told me this.
grrr..grrr..grrr..(OK, vent over...)
I figured it out on the INTERNET!

Phisoderm acne body wash? I will have to pick some up, thanks!
