Hey @Vandana Barman,

Try some home remedy as this skin condition usually goes away on its own but yes you can go natural try Tea tree oil - it is very helpful in treating the tiny bumps, irritation, and redness caused by keratosis pilaris. Dilute few drops of tea tree oil in 2 tablespoons of any carrier oil. Massage the mixture on the affected area. Leave it to dry completely. Repeat the process regularly until you achieve the results.

Hey @Vandana Barman,

You can apply a mixture of  2 tbsp olive oil ,2-3 drops of lemon oil and 2 - 3 drops of lavender oil on the affected areas and let it dry. Olive oil also moisturizes skin and lemon and lavender will lighten the marks and helps to heal scars.
