Re: I Have Keratosis Pilaris
I have this too and I went to a doctor and found out about it. I am 14 now and I went about 2 years ago. It is really bad on my legs and on the back of my arms it isn't as noticeable.
I never wear shorts (I always wear jeans). I know that's weird but I bet you would too if it was this bad on your legs. Everyone I know has awesome legs, and I just want to have the smooth, red-bump free skin too because I live where it’s hot. I wish I could wear shorts since it’s so hot.
My treatment right now:
I tried something new about 2 weeks ago and I noticed quite a lot of improvement on my arms AND legs. It's called oil pulling. I'm sure you guys have heard of it but if not, it's when you swish oil in your mouth for 20 minutes every morning. It sounds weird but I was desperate for a cure!
What I've noticed is that the redness has lessened and the bumps have gotten smaller and have disappeared in some places. From the websites I've read about oil pulling it takes about a month to see 90%-95% clear skin! I'm halfway there!
So I have been using Sunflower oil (expressed and organic) if you want to try it. Some other good oils are sesame and coconut. If you want to try it you can Google it and it gives you more info than I can.
I also tried the dermadocter stuff. The scrub makes my skin soft but the lotion makes it really red. I have sensitive skin too. So that might have something to do with it.
Thanks so much for posting this. Now I'm not alone. I feel so much better! I hope I can talk to you ladies about it more.
