KP has different forms, causes and treatments...i am going to look at the different causes, so that i am helping everyone...but for me to help you, i need details on anything and everything from what you eat to your height and weight...i care alot for people and i hate them been unhappy, so lets take over from useless dermatologists...and let us take credit for finding useful ways in conquering KP.
I mean everyone...write letters, sign petitions on NOT!! asking but telling dermatologists to get off there asses and do some work, it makes you sick the fact they get paid to do nothing...theres no cure for KP because no one has looked for one, now i don't know about you guys but KP has overstayed it's welcome on my body...and now it's time for it to leave, and no i am not all talk no action. Any questions or answers, feel free to post.

Genetic KP: KP is written in your DNA, therefore you cannot take it out...BUT!! you can take away all of the symptoms of KP, so the only thing that says you have it is your DNA.
KP In Adolescence: KP is hormonal therefore your skin is changing from girl/boy to woman/man, make sure you keep slim and take all the daily amount of vitamins and minerals...try not to mess your hormones up with stress, anxiety and junk food. If you get pregnant when your still young imagine what that will do to your hormones.
KP In Plump Or Obese: KP is caused by fatty tissue which is making it harder for many oils to get to the skin, therefore your skin will become dry or will lack essential oils, vitamins and minerals.

Allison i like the way you are, like me you want answers...this is the kind of attitude i want people to have, theres enough people on this board that could help...if everyone done an hours research a night on KP, each person a different part of it...am sure we will come across something, keep this up what you are doing. Great Work.

Question 1
Do you have KP like mine or is it different?

Ans: I would think that all individuals are unique. Remember, it could have similarities but it can never be the same.

Question 2
Do you think you have "contracted" KP, or is your genetic? - make sure you ask your relatives if they have EVER had it. They may not have even known it was KP....

Ans: I'm still analyzing it. Firstly, I am thinking that it could be attributed to that mud crawl during my puberty. Secondly, I have been tracing my family history back to my grand parents. On the second point, I found that my grand parents had no severe skin problems except some mild skin pigmentation issues (in particular my grand father) and as for my dad, his body skin conditions was near perfect but have gotten KP unknowingly when he entered into his mid-thirties.

Question 3
Where is your KP located?

Ans: Mine is on both my arms and a little on my legs.

Thanks Aillsonsullivan for sending that email / letter to Oprah (and staff). I pray that one day, our call will be heard and researchers will start to take serious views, actions and do something about it to help us out of this skin 'disaster'.

I am now trying out on some essential oils application and am not sure yet if it could help 'subdue' the bumps. Is there any supplement that you guys / gals could recommend to all? I found out lately that Neutrogena had stopped selling its Multi-Vitamin Acne Treatment lotion which was rather effective for KP. Why stop if it helps? Weird....



Khrissy3000
Let us all work hand-in-hand and let's keep every KP sufferers informed / updated on your work. Let us all walk the talk, yeah!

[Khrissy3000]

Yeah Newcastle-Upon-Tyne is a British place, and thats a good idea...i always thought that it was strange how people were responding to treatment differently to others, so i researched it and there are different forms and causes which MUST be all treated individually...also i believe my theory on those who have not got genetic KP to have left a door open for KP to walk right in.
I ran some tests on my friends, i had to pay them of course (that is how desperate i am) ...i had to pay them because what i asked them to do would change them for a while.

[Khrissy3000]

lol, one of them lost alot of weight for me...the other put on alot of weight. And both developed KP, the one which put on alot of weight developed KPRF as well...and a much more severe case in KP.
My other friend which become pregnant not for me, this was a while back...well she also developed KP, and it become much more severe later in her pregnancy.

[Khrissy3000]

Well to be honest they are all back to the size they were, with the money i gave them they spent it on things that would either burn fat or increase it...they have lost KP now, that's what i mean when i say each of us need to find the root of the problem before treatment will be successful...if yours is pregnancy, then maybe there is something else you must do...maybe ther is two roots to your problem.

All i can say is they found theres and lost it.
I am unsure of mine, it could be a number of things...so am totally transforming my lifestyle and image, am even trying to change the way i think...another words get rid of my stress and anxiety.

Hi allisonsullivan
I see...Actually my KP is different from yours. Well, I'm unsure whether was it due to that mud crawl or a genetic issue. Not really, I have yet to try out on that oil. May be in a few weeks time, I guess.

Hi All
Few years back, I read about this miracle cream from Africa and there are testimonials posted. You guys and gals may want to take a look http://www.elicina.co.za/

[Khrissy3000]

that cream sounds pretty cool ...i have got to go to a dermatologist in 9 days for a patch test and 4 days later i get the patches removed and recieve the results.

[hopefoolcure]

Can guys consume Evening Primrose? Has anyone tried? Is it effective? What's your intake like (as in how often you take a capsule)? Anyone tried anything new?

[hopefoolcure]

You could trace back by asking your parents or relatives. They maybe aware of it...Let us all "walk the talk"...remember. Action! Come on.....!!!

[hopefoolcure]

Has anyone seen this?

Go to this website (http://www.dermadoctor.com/product.a...&productid=850) and look under:-

NEW! Independent Clinical Study Results:
KP Duty was shown to statistically improve the clinical findings of Keratosis Pilaris, including skin hydration and smoothness while also targeting the inflammation and redness.

[hopefoolcure]

Do you guys & gals think that it's possible for us all to look for all research and drugs firms website or contact and email them with our plead for them to really get started and seriously look into our skin condition than merely posting advises online or over their workstations saying that this "chicken skin" condition is non-life threatening and it's hereditary so only time can cure (what kind of remedy is it)? We need a real permanent cure. Btw, how can wrinkles be as psychologically painful than KP? That's not possible but I suppose those are easier money making machines for them because it's easier for those comestic aids or drugs to produce.

Why don't we (all individuals) start emailing to these firms and should they reply, we can post it here to share with all. Also we could have their email posted here at the same time so that others can send 'follow up' emails to them?

What's yr thought(s)?

Fyi, we (this forum participants) are all trying hard to work on things that others may not have tried. We provide suggestions to one another and also for the betterment of all. Further, we shall all work "hand-in-hand".

It's good at least you have asked your mom, so now that you have opened up and shared with us, you could see that we have things in common (i.e. some of our relatives do have this unsightly skin problem). Probably that's hereditary but be not demoralized. We shall continue to take actions and strive to work hard and look beyond ourselves. Why don't we try to contact relevant authorities worldwide and let our voices be heard? Who knows, future generations of ours could benefit from this "difficult" research done now than never.

Keep this in mind, be Optimistic about it - Quoting Khrissy3000's advice to me earlier on.

I just joined today and started reading past postings. I was so excited to find that I am not alone. I have had KP for 24 years. It was noticeble at the age of 4 and has gotten worse, then better and back and forth for years now. I have tried everything under the sun on my skin, eating certain food, using specific detergents, you name it! I have even followed a dermatologists rec. to use sand paper on my body. Well, I was desparate and did it. I was in so much pain and had scabs for a week or two, but my skin sure was smooth. I suffer with picking just as some of you have mentioned. I hate it. It is all over my arms, my legs and some other areas. It hasn't always covered my legs and arms. My parents both have it. It has gotten worse for them. They did not have it in childhood. I know lots of other people who have it and they don't struggle with or have very mild cases. The sun helps to dry it up some times. I find that if I try to forget about it, It looks better to me. That may just be in my head. My twin brother has it and my younger brother has very little to none. I read that it is more common among women and thought that was why my brothers do not have it as badly as I do. Someone on the forum argued that another girls looked more like acne. I have to say in some areas mine looks like that too. My face is not too bad, but can flare up. I have never had severe acne or anything, just thousands of little bumps all over my body. My parents and I have spent thousands of dollars over the last 28 years and nothing cures it. I have changed my diet, exercise, water intake and everything. I believe it all effects KP, but haven't narrowed anything down. All dermatologists say the same thing. My mom thinks it is like a fungus or something. I hate it and dont' know what to do about it. Well, that is my info. Oh, Allison asked about weight and body type. I am pretty tall, eat healthy, and work out on a daily basis.
