Answers: Your keratosis pilaris sounds a whole lot more serious than mine, but I have the same problem. The milk and coconut oil will help, but only minutely. I don't think it will have the affect you want. I use a lactic acid lotion - it helps with the dry skin and the keratosis pilaris. Mine lotion is over the counter, but I would suggest seeing a dermatologist about it. I know there are other treatments out there, but my biggest advice is to convince your parents to take you to a dermatologist to get it looked at.
It should help. The milk should help your skin retain more moisture. I would actually suggest that you try a milk bath. Try soaking for like 15-20 minutes.
