    to any parents who have kids with kp - i’m begging you to teach them proper skincare procedure but to also encourage self love and confidence, as well as discourage picking!! i have dermatillomania and i’ve had KP all my life. when i was younger, my sibling pointed out that the bumps on my arms could be popped and i’ve been at it ever since. it’s painful and i’ve had an ongoing battle of acceptance with my kp.

      This is the exact same scenario as mine. My cousin discovered the bumps on my arm could be popped and I’ve been doing that since I was 12 years old, I’m now 25 and it’s worse than ever, I have scarring due to the popping too. Not one video has helped me yet as no one I’ve watched has even had it that bad along with a picking condition.

      @@raeyardley at this point i’m just trying to accept my KP for what it is. i try to nurture it and keep it hydrated, and do my best not to pick. i also try not to get too hard on myself for picking, because that doesn’t help. i’m also considering getting an outline of a strawberry tattooed on the back of my shoulders so that KP kinda makes it look like a strawberry! i think it would help me accept it more.

      The cause for KP is dry skin, and the cause of dry skin most likely is the food you’re consuming. Food allergy to dairy, gluten etc.. could be one of the culprits.

    Using 'cling wrap' on my arms after a thick layer of cerave SA overnight has helped my KP drastically. Lazy to create a YT video. But want to help people who have suffered with KP like me. Asian-Indian, female, 30s, light brown dry sensitive skin, lives in a city with low humidity. This is what I do:
    Step 1: Wash with Cerave SA wash.
    Step 2: The ordinary lactic acid 10% + HA
    Step 3: Inkey list BHA
    Step 4: Cerave SA cream (thick layer)
    Step 5: E45 cream (pat over) as I find Cerave SA cream isn't moisturising enough for my skin
    Step 6: Wrap arm in cling film
    Step 7: Use humidifier (I don't often as I'm lazy)
    Took around 3 weeks to see good results.
    Hope this helps.

    I've had quiet bad KP all over my body since I was 13 and now in my 30's, body scrubs made it worse, chemical exfoliating lotions from Neostrata helped a little but the PHA ones not AHA. What helped the most was diet and vitamin D3, during the time I was on fast food, tons of dairy and processed food, it was noticeably bumpy ,and now I'm on a clean diet for 9 years it's rarely noticeable now. No studies to show links to KP and diet but it worked for me

    I'm using a 40% urea everyday body cream. It leaves a sticky feeling to the skin, not really a fan of that. About the KP, I think it helps but I defenitly still have KP, at least now, I'm only about a week in. If anyone had real good results with anything else please let me know. By the way, I went for the 40% because I tried 20% in the past with no results and my doctor told me that Urea only really has this keratin breakdown property when in concentrations of 20% or more, so 10% would effectively do nothing but hydrate your skin.

    What I’m gonna say is actually bad for your health but... me and my sister We’ve had KP our whole life (I’m 33 now) as well as our mum, and at the moment the only thing that cures us completely, yes: BYE KP, gone for good, is getting tanned. We used to go to the beach quite often as kids and I remember we both got super exited before even getting there bc we knew KP was gonna be erased from our arms for at least a whole month. I guess also it had to do with the humidity from the beach (we always went to warm beaches on the pacific Mexican coast), maybe some sand/sea minerals? I don’t know but it was honestly a miracle. But hey, I think I prefer to stay cancer free than KP free **sigh**

    I have reason to believe that, for all of the times I hear that there's no cure, we forget about the "inside" of things and how they're connected to the outside. It might sound stale, but, killing sugar carbs and a stretching routine helped clear up my KP along with SA cleansers. The stretching improved circulation, the sugar carb restriction (whole food diet) eliminated inflammation (again, aided circulation and my joints recovered). I'm curious about ancillary or collateral medical conditions with people predisposed to this condition. My advice is to treat it from the inside and outside at the same time. Think about it, when blood flow is restricted, things die. The follicles are the most peripheral parts of our bodies and they are directly exposed to the environment. Start stretching to encourage circulation! Eat better by removing sugar carbs to reduce insulin and improve circulation! Moisturize right out of the shower and wear under armor-type water wicking garments in the evening; might seem and certainly feels a little messy, but it really helped me. I felt cool longer and my skin stayed soft longer. I believe that is where the visible improvements began. When I started, my hair folicles would bleed in some spots if I aggravated my skin. Now my Wife teases me by claiming that my routine is "better" than hers (I'm not proud of that, but my skin is so much better). See a new you in about 12 months (Moisturize morning and night/ it'll take about 3 to 4 skin growth cycles). Believe me, you will be surprised. I lost 30lbs too.

    I had it growing up. It got better as I got older and I got used to it. But then suddenly the past couple years it started getting worse. Not so much the intensity of the bumps but location. Started spreading to my forearms and wrists, to my upper chest which I thought was acne at first. I've tried hydolic acid lotion and exfoliation and it didn't work much unless I exfoliate for 20 minutes then a little help. So I hope one of these helps me better

    Thanks for the info dr. My siblings all have kp but mine the worst. I hope all parents out there will know and make research abt this so they can help their children. I really hte the fact tht my mom had this but she never told us in detail, didnt even wnt to admit after i knew it was genetic, and never help us to do something to control it cause her kp already disappear after giving birth. Maybe she expect ours to disappear like tht too. I have suffered so much because of my skin and even hurt my skin using a broken mirtor thinking that if my skin were torn maybe the good part will come out. I really don't know anything abt kp that time and only think tht it was pimple all over my body. So i was really frustrated, crying and asking god why must me. But now i know many people have it and i'm not alone cause before i never see anyone have it other thn my family. Right now i'm starting to love the way I am and be grateful to god cause even i have kp all over my body but i never had a bad acne on my face. Instead my friends tht have clear body skin always struggled with their acne.

    My daughter has KP since she was 3, mainly on her legs and arms. She is now 5 years old, and KP is starting to be more visible on the face, and I have noticed that she is also starting to have a little rosacea. On the advice of a dermatologist, she has been using a urea-based cream on her body 3 times a week, and on the remaining days she uses URIAGE XEMOSE. However, she liked to have a specific cream to apply to her face. For her age, what do you think will be most appropriate? Thank you in advance for any help and suggestions.

    But by luck or chance there is a chance of getting out of it.
    I stopped even mild smoke or drinking. Then started avoiding sugars and started work outs. Drastically with in three months the no of kp reduced from 100s to 10s even less. I hardly find one or two of them on my hands and 5-10 very mild non noticable on my legs.
    This i tried on my body as I'm suffering from it . Don't irritate the skin by using any products they actually don't let the skin to breathe air just be in optimum temperature

      You have to repeat shaving more often cause it doesn't shave as close to the skin as a traditional razor blade, but it also means that it doesn't "scrape off" this outer skin layer and bumps. No irritation, no bleeding. Highly recommend!

      @@halfgunaaron3694 I showed them to my dermatologist and asked what she would I recommend from a regimen perspective. She said my KP looked fantastic and I should continue doing whatever I am doing. The idea is to 1) exfoliate( you can just get by with chemical exfoliation but I enjoy dry brushing in the morning though it’s not a must/do), 2) remove the keratin plugs which is done mainly by urea and mildly by retinol. And then 3) hydrate which is done very nicely by the ceramide’s in Eucerin. Eucerin has an even stronger urea product called roughness relief and it says UREA on the bottle. That one has the highest percent and more effective if you have more stubborn KP. For chemical exfoliation, when I finish my 7% ordinary glycolic acid, I will not repurchase because it is very messy and annoying to use. I will likely switch to amlactin which has a strong % of lactic acid and doesn’t break the bank. But as long as you have your 3 areas covered, your KP will go away. Just need to do it consistently
