Why is it that sometimes...

I have KP on my legs and arms (it's worse on my legs). Sometimes the bumps on my legs are really red and sometimes I almost can't see them. Why is it? If I rub my skin they disappear (for a few seconds or minutes), I think that if I'm lying they don't look that bad either, however when I am standing up they do look really red. Why???
Does this happen to any of you? Or do your bumps look always the same?

Re: Why is it that sometimes...

Yeah it is very strange.Sometimes they are red en sometimes not. But what is very strange that if i stop sporting then they become red. For instance when I stop running then 5 minutes later they become red.

Auf wiedersehen .

me too

I notice this as well. On my legs, it seems to look worse when I'm standing rather than lying down. Also looks worse when I just get out of the shower. I'm not sure why this is.
I also notice that it appears different in different light. Direct sunlight usually makes it look good, whereas fluorescent light makes it look terrible.

Re: me too

I also notice this! Very strange indeed.

I have noticed this as well, don't know why?

Re: me too

Same here, I wonder if it has anything to do with circulation?

Mine looks worse after I shower too, at least until my body goes back to normal temperature.

lights

I've noticed the whole light thing and the circulation thing too. I think its cause the light waves are different and different colors so the flourescent must penetrate deeper showing more of the irritation. The Sun has a yellow light in which I always look better in and I think must not penetrate as much or something. As for the circulation bit, the amount of blood in your bloodstream effects the blood pressure which affects the intensity of irritation. Have you notice the calmer you are the less irritation occurs. Hmm maybe we should all become buddhist monks and be in meditation all day so we look better... Or keep searching we will find something.
