Hi all,

Like most you've i've spent most of my life wondering what the hell I had. Finally I think i've found something that remotely resembles the symptoms that I have. I'm pretty sure that I have KP. I too have the goosebumps on my legs and arms and during childhood for a period I had the red splotchy face along the jaw line and underneath my chin where a beard would grow. That eventually went away but the goosebumps remain. I'm so relieved to have found this site. I've always felt a little insecure about my condition always covering up to hide it.

Hopefuly I can find a way to cure this problem here.

Without knowing what I had ive been scratching and picking at my bumps for years sometimes pulling out the hairs. I'm guessing its probably a bad thing but how much damage have I just done to myself? I have a compulsion to do this.

hiya

You will find that quite a few people pick at their spots its a natural thing that us humans do tell me who doesnt pick at scabs from cuts and s****es. Read all the threads and see what might work for you. The general consensus is that KP duty does not work so avoid it and dont waste your money buying it. It seems that a combination of stuff works for some people take in oils internally and rubbing in oils externally helps to soften the skin and so prevent the bumps getting worse. Exfoiliation is recommended too. Omega 3,6and 9 oils can be taken internally and coconut oil to moisturise the skin. Its a case of trial and error just dont give up its not an overnite thing!

Take care
