My solution that has been working for months
I want to write because I want to tell people with mild KP (reddish arms, butt, a little on legs) what has been workng for me for quite some time to the poin where I do not think about my KP.
Now, a year ago at this time, I thought about my KP 24/7 and I even got myself into a depression. I now take prozac, and I realize that my obsession with KP had a bit to do with obsessive compulsiveness, NOW, this has been my regimen for half a year and it works beautifully. In the shower, i lather the KP areas with MSM soap (my brand is called "Born again") and leave it on for three minutes. After, I use a pumice sponge (NOT stone) and gently circle the areas - about 3 seconds per 3 square inches. After, I do not use any lotion. This didn't work right away for mr- it took about 2 weeks until the nastiest bumps went away. The other thing I do to control thje redness on the part of my arm that bothers me aesthetically is use Eucerin red relief daily perfection lotion. I use it in the warm weather to cover up the redness- it works like a charm! It is gooey, so you have to rub it in and it takes soem time until you figure out exactly how much is needed. The last thing I should mention is that two years ago, I had a lot of thick dark hair all over my legs, arms and butt (I am female). I did laser hair removal and now I am not only hair-free, but those areas are much smoother and have much less KP. Again, I have mild KP (noone else can see it except for me, except for my left arm which is pretty red). |

Great news that you have this under control, I've also tried laser hair removal but not on my thighs, I have had great results on my bikini line with IPL, but when I tried it for my lower legs a while back I have lighter hair & I think they used the wrong laser (coolglide). I was told it could make the bumps worse so I stopped when I saw some on my calves - which could have been coincidental. What laser did you use? I think I will add the soap on my list of things to try thanks :-)

How many laser treatments did it take to experience total hair removal? I know someone who owns a laser hair removal place, and he said it's never a sure thing.

Sorry gang, but my KP is the same on both arms and legs. Well at least now it is. I think it used to be worse though on my right arm. I'm left handed.
Hmmm..... |
