Waxing helps or worsens KP?

Can somebody who's waxed before tell me if waxing helps or worsens KP symptom? I figure that since KP is caused by the build up of keratin around the hair follicals, removal of the hairs would get rid of the keratin build up as well. I'm not sure if I'm correct or not. But can someone that is successful with it back me up on this? thanks.

I wax

I wax and have found that its better than shaving. I make sure I exfoliate and moisturize (with a moisturizer that also exfoliates skin) lots before I wax. I have had no problems with waxing and KP.

I found that waxing gave me tons of ingrown hairs, so regardless of how the KP was doing, I had bumpy legs. But I'm sure not everyone has problems with that. May as well try it once.
