4 Year Old with Keratosis Pilaris - Itchy Skin

My 4 year old has KP and it's not an issue at all but in the winter her skin becomes super dry and itchy. When she really scratches, I will use a little hydrocortosone cream but in general, she it itchy all over and I can't use too much HC cream. Any suggestions on other creams that will aliviate the itching keeping in mind that she is 4?

Thanks!

What can I do next?

Amlactin. It's what I use for terrible KP and it works so well. It's a little stinky, but only for a moment. And it's not very expensive at all.

You could try aveeno lotions and bath oatmeal. The heat in the house could be drying the air, you could try using a humidifier to moisten the air.

I love CereVe. Also, limit baths to maybe 2 times a week.

Aqua Glycolic is what our derm. recommended for my son's KP.
Have you tried Gold Bond medicated lotion?
