Good question. It's hard to "permanently" get rid of anything on our bodies. A good skin care regimen and frequent facials would help keep blackheads under control. I recommend seeing a dermatologist to discuss the best treatments for you. Many offices have an aesthetician available who can help you with facials and selecting quality skin care products to maintain your results (in conjunction with medications prescribed by your physician). It's a multi-step approach.

Keratosis pilaris is a form of eczema. Moisturing and using gentle cleansers is key to keeping this condition at bay but the bumps sometimes need a prescription or OTC moisturizer to smooth down the bumps. I recommend washing with CeraVe Hydrating cleanser and using a good cream like CeraVe cream (original), Vanicream, or Cetaphil. It will take a few weeks to see a difference. Best of luck! P.S. Don't scrub the bumps!! His skin is sensitive and this trauma could make the condition worse.

Avoiding redness is one of the questions of the century and the plain truth is we don't have a universal answer. It sounds like you are experiencing Urticaria (hives). I recommend seeing a dermatologist and an allergist to find treatment. Urticaria can escalate into angioedema which can be life threatening. Please seek care immediately (go to the ER) if you ever have redness and swelling in the eyes, mouth, tongue, or throat. Take care!

Be sure to use a gentle cleanser and minimize the use of harsh soaps, especially the antibacterial cleansers. Rashes on hands could also be due to an infection from bacterial, fungal, or parasitic agents. Seeing a medical provider can help you in finding the right treatment. Best of luck!!!
