Question for those who lost weight and have keratosis pilari

Rather odd question: Has anyone noticed any difference with their keratosis pilaris or "chicken skin" since they have lost weight?
I've read a lot saying that it will "never go away," "if you lose weight it'll go away," or "using (insert name) lotions will help reduce the appearance," "there is no cure," "there is a cure," and so on.
So I am just curious if anyone who's lost weight has had any changes in the appearance of their "chicken skin."
I'm just asking because I have it on my legs, I'd like it to go away but oh well if it doesn't.
