Combination peel with incorporated fractional prickle coral calcium for the treatment of keratosis pilaris : a pilot study . BACKGROUND Keratosis pilaris ( KP ) is a common condition of follicular plugging with variable erythema . There is a lack of reliable response to the treatment of KP . OBJECTIVE We evaluated the effect and safety of combination peel with fractional prickle coral calcium ( FCR™ ) in the treatment of KP . MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixteen Korean patients were treated with FCR™ on both upper arms for five sessions at 2-week intervals . Clinical evaluations , mexameter measurements , and assessment of patients ' satisfaction and adverse events were performed at baseline and every visit . RESULTS After treatments , statistically significant improvements in the baseline KP were observed in erythema and melanin index of mexameter on treated upper arms . Both the physicians ' and patients ' assessments correlate with the results of mexameter scores . CONCLUSION Our results suggest FCR™ should be considered as an effective and safe treatment option for the patients with KP .
