Keratosis Pilaris is not curable. It's genetic and will comeback after treatment. There is one cream which can subside the severity and can keep it in check. Please call me for prescription.

Hello sir. Thank you for contacting Lybrate. Can you please send a photo of the affected area, without it, it is difficult to say what the condition is. The mini dots sounds like keratosis pilaris but the rough black skin sounds like macular amyloidosis.
