title: A comparative trial comparing the efficacy of tacrolimus 0.1% ointment with Aquaphor ointment for the treatment of keratosis pilaris.
abstract: Keratosis pilaris is common, but little information exists regarding effective therapy for this sometimes clinically and often cosmetically troublesome disorder. This small pilot study compared the efficacy of Aquaphor ointment with tacrolimus ointment 0.1% and found that both were effective and well tolerated by patients.
