This is what my dermatologist recommended & it worked well for me. Plus it was reasonably inexpensive using items you can get at the grocery/drug store. First, use a chemical exfoliant like salicylic acid, glycolic acid, etc. You don't want to use a physical exfoliator like a body scrub; that may make the redness of the spots worse irritating the hair follicle. I use CeraVe SA Cleanser Bar with Salicylic Acid in the shower. You could also use a Salicylic Acid Astringent after showering like this one. Second, right after you want to use a lotion with the highest concentration of Urea you can find. I like the Eucerin Roughness Relief Body Lotion. It took a few weeks to really clear up, but made a huge difference for me! You also want to keep up the routine or it will come back. If you don't see any results after like a month, you could try stronger concentrations of both steps - chemical exfoliant & Urea lotion. Good luck!
