Keratosis Pilaris?

I was diagnosed with it two days ago. I heard there's no cure? Does anyone know of one? I'm only 14, and these red bumps make me really overly self-conscious :(

Keratosis Pilaris?
Ah, I was diagnosed with this at fourteen, too.





Don't be self-consious. Believe it or not, a lot of people have it. (And plus-at least it's not on your face!)


My advice? Don't listen to your doctor. The medication just makes them worse. And dried out. Keep your regular lotion on them.


Everyone I know that had them, grew out of them after about six months to a year. (:
Reply:KP is easy to get rid of, it can just take a little while. Go on e-bay and look for a kp kit by glytone- it is a body wash and lotion that will get rid of it.
Reply:I have them too! Definitely not much fun, but I put on lotion and it helps to keep your skin from getting too try and does help it out some.
Reply:I stopped using regular soap and switched to glycerin soap. That helped me immensely. Then I switched to a body wash and that's been okay for me too. I had it as an adult which I hear is unusual. So maybe yours will go away as you get older. Eucerin lotion is supposed to be good for it too, expensive for a lotion but their stuff is the absolute best!
Reply:It's okay! I was diagnosed with keratosis pilaris when I was about 15 or 16 and I've learned to deal with it. I went to the dermatologist and she gave me this lotion called AMLACTIN. You can get it in stores like Walgreens and stuff now. It's no longer over the counter. I use it and it keeps your arms smooth. I've learned to deal with it and some people ask me and I say it sucks. But, I still go out clubbing at 19yrs old now and I wear tops that show my arms. Everyone has something different about them and you should learn to be confident because Keratosis Pilaris doesn't just disappear. I still have it and it doesn't look great, but nobody ever really asks unless I say something. So, it's fine. You'll learn to love how it makes you different. Try that amlactin and keep putting lotion and stuff on it and NEVER pick your arms or you might get pimple looking scars. Hope this helps! %26lt;3
