Hey, hon.

My daughter and grandson have pretty good cases of this. I have/had it as well but to a lesser degree (it's heredity).

The dermatologist said there's nothing that can be done for it but it usually gets better as one gets older. That's about it. I can say that my bumps all but disappeared in my 30's and now I just have dry skin. Mine was worse on my arms than on my legs, with face and legs on the lighter side. Mye daughter and grandson have it equally on face, arms and legs...a pretty good case of it with both of them. She did say that heavy duty moisturizers can help and prescribed daughter a prescription one that didn't help.

I wish I had more help for you. I know that once I googled it and found a forum that discussed this and this only. It was great and they had some good info there...alot of sharing and support.

The dermatolgist said, that while there's not alot to help it, there are things that can irritate it and to use the better laundry soaps, aveeno bath products, heavy moisturizers that are name brand, and good makeups.

Good luck, hon.
