I am 35 yrs old and have been dealing with KP for about 9 years now. I never really had any before. My dermatologist prescribed the RetinA Microgel at one point. I used it and really could tell no difference in my condition. It actually made them redder. I am now using Triaz cleanser with an exfoliating cloth and AmLactin lotion after the shower. My skin is a lot smoother, but I still have a lot of scarring from picking at the inflamed ones. I am trying to keep my hands off, but I'm afraid the damage is done. Has anyone used microdermabrasion to lessen the reddish scars to any avail? I know it's expensive, but if it helps the scars, I can manage the new bumps. Help!
