there appears to be some hope!


I went to a dermatologist several years ago about "the bumps" and the visit made me feel worse than the appearance of the bumps. He lifted my arm like I had leprosy and said what it was (but too fast for me to write it down); he said there was no cure and using a loofah wouldn't help. I was in tears. I use to live in the south and I didn't notice it as much because I always had a tan. But, since living in MN, I'm rarely in the sun and it is noticeable. I'm tired of not being able to wear certain clothes bcz of "the bumps". I've learned a lot on these forums and there appears to be some hope! Will try the milk baths and lotions with AHA.

i wish there was a cure for KP

i've had KP ever since i can remember... its really depressing to see all this girls with beautiful legs..i hate the summer time because i'm sooo embarrassed to wear any type of shorts..i have red bumpy dots all over my legs and thighs..i wish i was normal all the time so that way i could be able to wear everything that i wish i could. i never wear shorts in public. i have never worn a dress. i know people talk about me when is super hot and im wearing jeans to hide my legs. i wish there was a cure for KP.. so that i for once can be a normal young woman who gets to wear shorts and dresses and gets to go to the beach and put on a bathing suit in the summer time :(

KP my whole life


I am 14 and I am pretty sure that I have had KP my whole life. It's really bad on my arms and people are always asking me if I got a major sunburn (even in winter!). I went to my dermatologist a while back and found out there's no cure for my terrible skin. But this website showed me that there were other people out there struggling with this too.

Thank you!

Re: cure kp please

Hi,

I have been suffering with KP since I was 26. I'm now 43. A few weeks ago a friend was sharing some of his surprising results with Vitamin D3 + K2. I have been taking it for three weeks and my wife told me she thinks is has gone down about 90% on my arms and my thighs are still "large-pored" but the inflammation is gone.

Another thing I have been doing for several months is using Suave kids body wash (the no-tears formula.) I read that some people need higher pH soaps do to body chemistry and it has also helped with the pumping effects caused by some of my more affected areas.

As I have aged, I started to notice my developing KP above the ankles over the last year. It is already cleared up.

I have always thought my KP was due to a reaction to fragranced and dye-heavy shampoos and detergents (clothes) until I saw a dermatologist four years ago who diagnosed me with KP.

Please don't think i'm a vitamin quack, I really mean it has made a huge difference. Being the father of three, I assure you I do not have time to apply creams or moisturizer after showering each morning. I just hate the greasy feeling and the fact I feel old trying to reach all my 'places'. so it is not any of those contributing to my success.

Google it the text in my reply title, include Swanson if you think you might go easy, otherwise but them someplace else but for $8.00 for 60 'dots' can it be any less risky than the horrible burning stuff the Dr. prescribed for me the first time I was diagnosed? $30 (co-pay) for self-inflicted torture?

PLEASE try it!

I look forward to hearing from you in three weeks…
