I’ve struggled with what I think is keratosis pilaris (KP) on my legs for years. I used to get all these little bumps, and unfortunately I had a really bad habit of picking and scratching them. A lot of them also turned into ingrown hairs.

Now I’m left with a bunch of dark spots/scars all over my legs. I still get the bumps and ingrown hairs occasionally, so it’s been hard to stop the cycle completely.

I’m looking for recommendations from people who’ve actually dealt with this. What products or routines helped fade the scars and prevent new ones? I’m also scared to tan because I feel like every time I do, the dark spots become even more noticeable.

Has anyone successfully gotten their legs looking clear again? I’d appreciate any advice or product recommendations.
