hi,
i looked through this forum before
but i signed up today so i could tell you how i dealt with my KP
maybe it could help you too
i've always had a bad case of it on my upper arms and thighs..ok here goes:

i live in thailand and bought this natural body scrub. its made of tamarind and honey. i've been using it whenever i shower and noticed a very big difference on the third day. to my knowledge, they dont sell outside thailand... so thats sort of a bummer but maybe you can find some similar type body scrub.

and on that third day, i also went to this place that does body slimming things like massages and body wraps. i went for the purpose of toning my arms but when i was done, i noticed that my arm was extremely smooth. it still looked like it had spots, but they were totally flat. after a shower that night, and waking up this morning, 95% of all the bumps and spots are gone! (and my arms decreased by 1.5 inches).

Hi itanatta,
sorry because I don’t speak English very well, but I would like to know the name of the brand of this product. Maybe I can find this in the internet. Also give me more infos about the procedure followed while using this product.

hi, the company is "Chaisikarin Garden Home". They have a website, but I don't know if they sell their products online. the site is www.chaisikarinherbal.com i dont know if you'll be able to navigate because most of the links and products are written in thai.
about using the product: just apply to wet skin and rub just as you would with any kind of soap while showering! thats really all there is.

I was able to find the scrub at this web site

so Itanatta, there is no more redness, etc.? have you tried other products before?

So you have to get a body wrap to find results? Do you only need one body wrap or will the results fade if you don't keep getting them?

to MBernosky: yes, that is a tamarind and honey scrub but not the same brand. i think it should work the same anyway! i guess you should give it a try!

about the body wrap: ive only had one treatment..its been 2 days since i had the wrap done and my KP hasn't come back. i'll let you know if it does!

ive tried lots of creams and scrubs before but they never really worked. except like 3-4 years ago i went to check why my arms were like that at a hospital .. and they gave me 5 of these bottle-cap sized containers filled with some really sticky lotion. i forgot what the dr. said it was but i know its made in thailand. anyway, they worked really well.. like 90-95% like the scrub and body wrap. but i was 14 then and the lotion was just really sticky and oily - and thailand is incredibly hot.. so i didnt bother with it after a while.

Body wraps are supposed to help remove toxins, so it would make sense that it work.

Is it possible that you did not have KP but some other simmilar condition?
It seams really unusal that it dissapeared so fast...
There are thousands of skin conditions that look very much alike,reason why many doctors and dermatologists give us false therapies and prescriptions...
Than again,many of us have different causes for KP,things that triggered mine are not the same for all...i guess that's why I have not seen any improvement while OP-ing as some have...

ofcourse that's possible. could be something similar
but when i was younger living in the US, the doctor diagnosed it as KP and so did the doctor in thailand

Itanatta, is that possible you send your 'after photos'?

Has anyone ever made there own body scrub using Tamerind and Honey?

Hi! Thanks for submitting your success, Itanatta! I looked at the tamarind and honey products on the site MBernosky referenced and read this:

Tamarind & Honey Collection
You do not have to be young and in love for your face to glow. Centuries ago, when cosmetic tinters and light reflectors had not been invented, Thai women would apply sour tamarind on themselves to attain smooth skin that gave off a youthful glow. We now know that the fruit’s high AHA content makes it an effective natural exfoliant.

Maybe the wrap intensified how deep the tamarind could exfoliate? I'm intrigued! Anyone planning to try this product/treatment?

levant: im not sure how much use the 'after' picture will be since there is no 'before' picture!

none of the bumps have returned on my arms. there are still a few red spots left but they are completely flat. so my arms are smooth unlike before..ill let you all know of the progress

by the way, someone told me waxing your upper arms could help.. since it removes the hair and dead skin and possibly other things plugged up in your pores. and THEN exfoliate with the scrub.

ok, sorry. i just saw the thread about people having MORE trouble with KP after waxing...!!

but you know what -- ill test it out and post
