Recommended Products for Kids with KP

We have searched the drugstores, grocery stores and online stores to bring you a varied list of available products to treat your child's KP.  Many of our recommended products are ideal for young children with sensitive skin.

Common Prescription Treatments

Depending on the severity of your child's case of KP, your child's physician or dermatologist may recommend a prescription medicine including antibiotics.  Some common medicines include:

  • Erythromycin
  • Bactrim

 

 

Moisturizing Creams & Lotions

DERMAdoctor KP Duty Dermatologist Moisturizing Therapy for Dry Skin:  KP Duty incorporates medically proven technology including ingredients for hydrated and healthy skin. Medically potent levels of Glycolic Acid blends with Urea, the dermatologist recommended humectant, to soften and smooth away the driest, roughest skin. KP Duty is a concentrated treatment with potent antioxidant Green Tea, moisture replenishing Hyaluronic Acid and texturizing Dimethicone.
DERMAdoctor KP Duty Dermatologist Body Scrub:  Medical-quality exfoliation requires more than scrubbing. Dry skin, flaky patches and chicken skin bumps are held together by bonds that physical exfoliation alone cant break.  KP Duty Body Scrub delivers serious medi-exfoliation for deeper, more thorough results. This dual action chemical + physical exfoliator blends the best of a chemical peel and microdermabrasion into a single, easy to use treatment.  Dermatologist-recommended chemical exfoliants dissolve the glue that cements epidermal cells together. Smooth, non-abrasive synthetic beads lift away dead skin cells. Skin is resurfaced and retexturized; soft, smooth and radiant.
Khepra Skin Therapy Creme:  Softens and nourishes the skin.  This rich lotion contains premium ingredients such as castor oil, myrrh and frankincense that you won't find in other lotions.  Hypoallergenic.
TheKIDS So So Soft Body Lotion TheKIDS™ was developed by loving mothers with purity, safety and quality in mind.  No added fragrance, no harmful ingredients, no bad stuff... just pure, all natural goodness.  Never tested on animals. This nourishing non-greasy formula absorbs quickly and re-hydrates to keep skin soft and healthy.

Home Remedies & Soothing Treatments

  • For infants and young children, you may prefer to choose natural soothing remedies that can be effective in lessening the appearance of the bumps of KP.  After bathing your baby or young child in a warm bath, simply rub the affected areas with a dry washcloth or soft brush (similar to one used for a newborn with cradle cap).  Take care not to rub too hard as a baby's skin is very sensitive to scrubbing.
