Im 19 and i've been diagnosed with kp. I've had it since Jan 2005. I've had acne and been taking medication for it since i was 15. As of now, im on retin-a, doxycycline, and an antibiodic. Im also using a skin cleanser called phisoHex. I think it's what surgeons use on their arms? Anyone ever use it?

Any way, I'm getting really fed up with this stuff on my arms. There not small bumps...they are deep, red, and have puss. They are scattered on my arms.

None of the meds i've been taking seem to help. tomorrow im gonna start going to a tanning bed, hopefully that will help. if it doesnt my last option is to get laser hair treatment, which would be really wierd cause im a guy, but i can't stand this kp.

good to know im not the only one...cause locally it sure seems like it.

Filled with puss? That doesnt sound much like kp. Try using a skin cleanser like clean and clear. and using lotion that has urea in it that helped me.
