Teehee! I love your narrative, Pumicer!!!!! I too am a fan of the pumice, BUT I am not brave enough to use the stone. I use the sponge. I am little concerned by the alcohol. Although it worked for you, I am fearing that the alcohol will dry my skin, which is a no-no to KP.

.

haha..so funny!

I tried your technique a few yrs ago (minus the alcohol). I'd gotten to the point of "oh what the hell, let's see if I scrub these suckers off." It didn't do much for me other than make my skin hurt like hell and scab over. But I guess the alcohol may have helped in your case. How extreme was the dyness, flaking like it's no one else's business? And do you have any scars going on cause I think I might want to give ur tech a try.

I wouldn't necessarily think it's tougher for a girl to have to deal w/kp than it is for a guy. But I'm a girl and I guess some girls are more aware/paranoid (however you want to point it) about their appearance. Someone had once asked me, "What's that on your arms? Zits??" I just said no and explained it and that was that. But yeah, kp is damn annoying!!

.

I love your attitude, Pumicer. Man, I wish I could lighten up, but it's so hard living with this nonsense. I am going to try to "shake what I got"....LOL!!!!!

just a question Alcohol Oil???

when you first tried this, did you have a job or go to school? I ask because it would be hard to reck havok on your skin and then have to go to school the next day.

i tried something similar once. I did a slight graze on my arm with the pumice, but stopped that after one brush. It made my arm bleed.

when i first got a loofah, i always used it dry and scrubbed real hard. it would burn red so bad afterwards.

i do agree that you have to be somewhat harsh to the KP.

Stuff like AmLactin helps because it has acid in it. its no where close to a miracle cream, but it does help keep the flakes away.

i also find that rubbing my hair will break up the plug and make the KP hair fall out. at the root i can see the white KP plug attached.

i find that unfortunately i am a picker. ive done it since i was little and cant seem to stop, and its horrible because i have the most KP ever.

the doctors always told me i would grow out of it.

.

i just did it on my arms... . i have it on my chest and dont know how im goin to do that...

Oh btw have the bumps ever come back???

and for example i started ur treatment today.. so i shudnt use a pumice sponge again i juss applied the rubbin alcohol for the second time three hours later.. SO no sponge again?

.

lol exactly my thoughts if u gotta do it so it dont come back so what.. lol well thank u. ill keep applying, take care of the scabs in the shower and see what happens ill keep u posted

Thanks again

i have a question, so you pumice your skin, swab alcohol on it, and then sandpaper it? or just pumice and swab alcohol? i read something that has to do with sandpaper but not sure what you mean. great attitude the pumicer! i get less sad everytime i go here coz of awesome people like you
