Yeah, so as the title might suggest, i have both keratosis pilaris and folliculities (crazy feat i know). I cope by wearing long sleeves, no shorts, you get the gist. My KP is partially bad on my arms, and show a little on my back/chest/stomach and a little on my thighs. Folliculities shows up kinda where it likes, but mostly on my arms/chest/back.

Now, stupidly enough, i have not seen the derm for any of this (except once by mentioning it to my doctor during a routinely check up). So now, before i have to talk my mom other into that, are there actual ways of fixing any of this? I've heard KP is just about GG except for minimizing it. I've heard mixed stuff about folliculitis, apparently doxycycline could help? Frankly i'm lost. Does anybody have any experience/advice. Would be MUCH appreciated. Starting boarding school in 6 months, would love to be able to wear a t-shirt.
