If kp affects 40% of the population why is there so limited treatment and why are doctors saying that its not necessary for treatment cause theres no health risk its purely cosmetic....

Lets take breast implants for example....this too is done for cosmetic reasons yet so many doctors perform this surgery and make millions.....

I guess doctors feel that watermelon boobs are better than healthy skin.

Lets not talk about dermatologists who's more of a monkey brain than the rest of the "doctor group" cant they see a market in this....

They cant say that there is absolutely nothing that can be done........Its spoty skin its not like we have reptile scales that theres no way to turn it into human skin... we just have bumps that we would like to smooth out and red dots that we want to fade.

Maybe one day some smart scientist will realise hey so many people are affected by kp and kp sufferers will love there skin to be healthy and normal let me research this skin condition and find a cure... Cause there's not much competition out there ....Woah i can become a gazillionairre

Open your eyes!
The pharmaceutical companies make more money by selling us lotions and creams that don't cure us.
They are not interested in your health but rather in continuously having customers for their products.

BINGO!!! How does everyone else feel about this?

^yup... Couldnt have said it better... Im sure one day there will be a cure that will truely get rid of these horrible bumps and redness once and for all. But for now companies are interested in making more money off of hopeful sufferers

It really ****es me off... but what are you gona do?

I expect that if there were a effective cure for KP they would be selling it.

If you're using something that doesn't help, switch to something else. I've tried laser hair removal, tanning, heavy exfoliation, urea, lactic acid (both amlactin and lachydrin), olive oil, aloe, Differin/Adapelene, salicylic acid (beta hydroxy), and alpha hydroxy (from 5 to 15%).

Only those last 3 options have shown any effectiveness for me, and only then after using them for over 3 months. Nothing has cleared me up more than 50% or so.

Ahhhh yes the pharmasutical companies...because Im vegan I do not support them. If you guys are looking for something to help your KP look no further than your local organic store. Try some tea tree oil...or other mineral oils...also check out some products from Kiss My Face (all natural no animal testing). All these companies want to do is make money...that's why they only half way help your KP...if they cured it they wouldn't make any more money off of you! I wish they would give us a 100% effective cure!!!!!!!!!!!!!
