feeds@yuku.com (germanboner35) — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 23:53:26 GMT

i discovered this myself and hope it helps someone who wants to try it without shucking out big bucks just to be disappointed. first get you an empty container. fill it half full with regular white sugar u find in ur cabinet. add half real lemon juice and half apple cidar vinegar so it barely covers over top of ur sugar. then stir it up a little. run ur tub full of lukewarm water when u take ur bath. use this new homemade exfolilating scrub and scrub ur kp areas with a glob full of this...

KP is embarrassing...

For the some what long 17 years of my life, I've suffered from acne. About two years ago I
saw a dermatologist for the first time ever. I thought my only problem was acne. That was when
I found I was diagnosed with KP. I have acne and KP on my back, chest, arms, face, etc. The doctor gave me some samples of cream, gel, and pills to take to help clear up my skin. It seemed to start to work during the short time I used them, but suddenly my cheeks became very red and lumpy...

DAIRY CAUSES MY KP

feeds@yuku.com (aligimmeausername) — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 14:55:30 GMT

Hi everyone,

I feel I should share this as my kp caused me so much torment for so many years.
I'm delighted to have made this discovery and hope it might help other people.
Dairy was causing mine (ie milk and anything made from milk).
I would DEFINITELY recommend you try cutting out dairy, and foods with milk/dairy ingredients, to see if it makes a difference for you.
It took about a week and a half / 2 weeks for me to notice the improvement. The difference...

Toddler Keratosis Pilaris and Herdity

feeds@yuku.com (wiedensd) — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 12:28:34 GMT

My toddler (2 1/2) was diagnosed with KP recently. She has it everywhere, not just the typical arms and legs and cheeks. She has the goosebump texture all over her body, including the tops of the hands, feet, back, chest, arms, legs, etc. Her KP is not terribly "irritated" or red, mostly just bumpy. She was prescribed LacHydrin but she cries when we apply it. I'm assuming the AHA burns. My question is about herdity . . . Neither my husband or I have this. There is nobody...

New here, mommy and upset

feeds@yuku.com (Kpmommy) — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 21:43:03 GMT

I was told at my daughters 18month appointment that she has KP. She has about 10 bumps on each of the back of her legs and arms, but her poor little face is always red and full of bumps.

My pedi told me to us Lac Hydrin on her, but she said that it could sting so I have chosen not to use it. I don't know what to try or where to go from here, but I keep getting upset because I keep thinking about what it is going to do to her when she gets older. I know that it is a long way off,...

Im sure it's KP

feeds@yuku.com (aem46) — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 19:30:23 GMT
Although never formally diagnosed, I'm sure I have KP alba. For as long as I can remember I had small bumps on my knees, upper thighs, and lower stomach. I moisturized and exfoliated as much as possible, not knowing what I was dealing with (Pre-google days). The bumps arent red or irritated, but have the appearance of goosebumps. After looking on the internet, I came across the KP definition and felt so relieved to see that what I had was a real condition. However, I was so disheartened...

i'm sure i have keratosis pilaris. i'm 14, and i have the bumps that everyone knows of all over my arms. the only thing nobody else is talking about is skin turning different colors.

sometimes my arms are fine and a normal color, sometimes they look sunburnt when they're not (and when they do get sunburnt, it doesn't fade into a tan, it fades and kind of stays), sometimes they turn purple-ish, and sometimes they have bright and dark red blotches on them. it does...

Hello from Washington

Hello my name is Liz and I just found out a few weeks ago that my 2 year old son has Keratosis Pilaris. Since he was a baby I have noticed small goose pimple like bumps on his thighs but did not pay too much attention to it, thought it was dry skin. As he got older I noticed it a little bit more, though visually one couldn't really see it but if you rubbed your hand over his skin it felt "bumpy". At his check up with his doctor I had mentioned it to her and she knew right away...

My 8 year daughter has just been told that she has KP. We have tried Amlactin and Lac-hydrin five and they both burn her skin when we apply. She has KP on her chest, back, belly, arms, shoulders, bottom and the back of her legs. It is so bad! I just ordered some lotion called KP duty. Has everyone else found such a sensitivity to lotions? Also, I am reading that sunlight helps. I am wondering with her case being so bad, if I put her in a tanning bed for 2 minutes or so if that would...

Help - My son just diagnosed!

feeds@yuku.com (mkmyordy) — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 13:34:32 GMT
I am in need of information. My 16 year old son has been dealing with this skin "rash" for years and our old doctor said it was an allergic reaction to his cat. He has had the cat for years and did not want to give him up, so he dealt with it. Well today we were at our new doctor for something else and he noticed his rash was really bad and diagnosed it as KP. He said there was nothing that could be done about it. I found this website and see all of the products listed and I...

The cause of Keratin Pilaris: eating chicken (I stopped eating and I am cured)

feeds@yuku.com (mo) — Sun, 05 Apr 2009 17:34:38 GMT
I had keratin pilaris for 30 years until 6 months ago when I gave up poultry - chicken specifically. Within a month or so I had the smoothest, bump and red free arms! Since it is an over-production of keratin and since chicken are fed feathermeal (90% keratin - an insoluble protein) it is no wonder the overproduction and consumption ends up on display on our arms. Can it be just coincidence that it's called "chicken skin"? (fyi, I tried all the lac hydrins and alphas that...

KP Cure / Treatment That Worked For My Sister AND I

feeds@yuku.com (KPCured) — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 11:11:10 GMT
Hello everyone,

Finally found what worked for me to treat / cure my KP. The solution is organic / natural soaps. Soaps with bare ingredients.

Wash yourself with a gentle scrub cloth with some of the organic / natural bar soap rubbed in it. Some organic and natural bar soaps tend to be on the dry side... but not this one... (Olive bar soap)

KP or rosacea?

feeds@yuku.com (iggy) — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 13:31:25 GMT

I'm a 27 year old female and have been diagnosed with rosacea a few years ago. However, after reading about Keratosis pilaris rubra faceii, I have a sneaking suspicion that I was misdiagnosed and have this other condition instead. How would I be able to tell if it is KP vs. rosacea?

Here's enough background to help...

Is this KP? (Picture)

feeds@yuku.com (Noggin) — Sat, 21 Feb 2009 23:01:21 GMT

Small, hard, painless bumps. Very tiny, very patchy. Although the blemish(es) are distracting my main concern is the smaller patchy bumps that I find on the backs of my arms, cheeks, and above my knees.

They are more irritating in regards to them just.. existing. The blemishes are a direct result of treating them like acne.

My overall goal is to indentify what it is. Keratosis affects...
