Well, since we're talking about a thirteen-year-old here, focusing on diet would be a great move—not just for this specific case, but because let’s face it, most kids today eat pretty terribly. Also, stress is a massive trigger for skin issues, but that’s a whole other conversation and I don't really have the energy to dive into it right now.

Just slathering on cream isn't going to cut it. You have to tackle the root cause. I’m no expert on what triggers keratosis pilaris, but my guess is you might be low on certain vitamins or minerals, or maybe your diet just needs an upgrade. I’ve dealt with those tiny bumps on my arms since puberty, and if I'm being honest, I made it worse by constantly picking at them. It was pretty gross. Then, about two years ago, I accidentally started having this collagen breakfast—basically a mix of grains, dried fruit, and seeds—and within a few weeks, my skin cleared up completely. No more bumps.
