My 10 years old son has had KP since he was about 3. Not severe, mostly on the back of his arms with occasional bumps and redness on his face. Two general MD's have told me not to worry that he would out grow it and that there isn't any treatment. I am noticing now that it is beginning to worsen with the bumbs and redness becoming more severe. I am new to this since I have trusted the doctors all these years. Do you have any suggestions on how we can begin to control this? His teenage years will be hard enough without this.
