Eyebrow follicles help!?

From a young age my eyebrows never came in right, I only have some sparse hairs. I get the feelinga large number of hair follicles didn't open, which is the case for my upper arms which have a high number of small pimple things (my mum has the same). Usually when I pop one of these a hair comes out. Is there some kind of special treatment or something to cure my eyebrow thing? Everywhere I go people call me the eyebrow guy and "the chinese dude" and I'm not chinese at all.

Thanks.

Eyebrow follicles help!?

Keratosis follicularis spinulosa decalvans: a rare familial variant of Kertaosis pilaris which results in bald areas on the scalp and eyebrows.

Welcome to how most of the rest of the world feels. Unfortunately you sound like you have Keratosis Pilaris. It's just a genetic thing(usually inherited from parents) that affects about 40% of the adult population and upwards of 80% of teens. Sometimes it goes away as you get older, sometimes it doesn't. It can show up on your face, but it's more usually on the backs of the upper arms, and can show up on the thighs as well, but I've heard of it being elsewhere too. There's no cure and no one treatment that's been proven to work for everyone. If there's no cure, kinda makes you wonder how the people in hollywood have such perfect skin..but of course they can afford to spend thousands on it. If it's extremely bad, see a dermatologist about it and there are prescriptions that supposedly help.

Here are some helpful tips:

Since people that have it often have dry/very dry skin in that area, daily exfoliation helps. Don't overdo it though or that'll make it worse. Dry exfoliation is best. Before you hop in the shower, gently exfoliate the ares that have it(you can do an all over exfoliation weekly) and then get in the shower. A user from the KP website forum recommends using a semi-smooth stone to exfoliate because it's better than a loofah, but not as harsh as a pumice stone.

Moisturize! Intense moisturizers are supposed to help the skin.

Things with lactic acid and urea can help.

Read the forum on the second website, there are lots of ideas on how to treat it and different things that have helped different people.
