Yes — Amlactin Daily Healing (a lactic‑acid moisturiser) can be used on the legs, thighs and arms to help with dry, rough, bumpy skin (including keratosis pilaris) and general flaking or thickened patches.
Tips and precautions
- Follow the product label: usually apply to clean, dry skin once daily (can increase to twice daily if tolerated).
- Expect gradual improvement: you may see benefit in 1–2 weeks, but clearer results for conditions like keratosis pilaris can take 4–12 weeks.
- Do a patch test first: apply a small amount to a discreet area for 24 hours to check for irritation.
- Avoid broken or inflamed skin. Stop use if you get severe stinging, blistering, or widespread rash.
- Use sunscreen on treated areas or avoid strong sun exposure: alpha‑hydroxy acids (like lactic acid) can increase sun sensitivity.
- Don’t combine with other strong chemical exfoliants or retinoids unless advised by a clinician (may increase irritation).
- If you have very sensitive skin, eczema, or are pregnant/nursing, check with your provider first.
If you tell me what specific problem you’re treating (dryness, KP, eczema, discoloration, etc.) and any other products you’re using, I can give more targeted advice.
