Re: I Have Keratosis Pilaris
Oh my... This has always been a problem my WHOLE life. I can realte to most of you ladies as well. It started just on the back of my upper arms, but as the years went by, it just spread, and spread, and SPREAD!!!  It is horrible. I find myself getting so upset over this, and looking at myself in disgust. I can tell you EVERYTHING you are not supposed to do, because I have done it ALL in a desparate attemp to rid myself of these nasty "bumpy, rough, red, diseased-looking" arms. I have waxed, shaved(ugh DO NOT SHAVE your arms if you have this ish), I have literally scrubed my arms with a pumice stone till they were bleeding, exfoliated, used all types of loofahs, all types of lotions... etc etc etc... Now, things I have found helpful are tanning (which I do religiously, I know that years down the road I am going to pay for it, but It DOES help, something in the sunlight breaks down the extra proteins getting stuck in the hair follicals), and I have found that Dove's Pro-Age body wash hels soften the skin, and reduces the appearance of the bumps. I have never heard of the KP line at Sephora, so you can bet your bottom dollar I am going to be ordering tht stuff PDQ. I hope that you(and the rest of us KP sufferers) can find some relief. It really is a burden, and I know how you feel. I hope that I had some useful information.
