I'm new, and just recently started researching this condition, even though I've had it forever.

My condition is almost entirely on my upper thighs, but it's very severe. Had it for a long long time, but just recently decided I'd try to combat it.

One thing I've noticed about my upper legs that I have NOT seen mentioned in any newsgroup posting or web-related item is double-hairs.

My upper legs are comprised of two things; reddish bumps with curled-up hairs lying just underneath (if I s****e at the bump with my fingernail, the little curled-up hair will be released), and hairs that are growing normally. However, 99% of every normal-growing hair is in a follicle with ANOTHER hair. Almost every follicle on my leg that is NOT curling hair inside a bump is a double-hair. There are two normal length hairs, and they both come together at a "V" at the bottom, and seem to be growing from the same follicle.

Is this normal? I have searched and searched, but have seen no mention of double-hair follicles, except for a couple arguments about whether dogs have HAIR or FUR (hopefully this is NON-RELATED).

Any opinions, experiences, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for reading.

Don't be sad. You are not alone. I have double/triple-hair follicles as well. I suppose it is related to KP.

I think it is pretty typical to have two or three hairs growing from each folicle, whether you have KP or not. I know I still have that on my "good" skin.

Not being gross but i get double hairs on my underarms. I hate it. The rest of my body does not seem to have this problem!

Take care and blessings
