c everybody there should be a romance forum. though there doesn't seem to be to many girls with kp interestead in men with kp. mike have you ever tried AhA lotion?
my right arm is about 100% free of kp now and the redness is diminousing. if you haven't tried it,your missing out!!!!!!!!

I agree with you John! It does seem that there doesn't seem to be many girls interested in a guy with KP. At my age, I guess they really want children, and they just want a chance to give them a fair chance of nice skin. I only want to find an intimacy, like I only had truly one time in my life. I am not just talking about sex! I do have an aha which I have not used yet, but most of the KP I have at this time is just flat red dots, which if I want skin cancer, I could get a tan to get rid of the appearance. I will try some things, but usually things look worse before they get better!

mitch, the aha is mostly for clearing up red dots. the aha uncloged pores. when you unclog the pores the red dots start to fade away.

OMG I just had to post I understand exactly what you mean. most guys tell me they still like me even with some blemishes lol but they dont really care since they fell for me not just my looks. My current bf i tell him that im insecure about my stomach (from having a baby) so we keep the lights off, i just make sure i do a nice sugar exfoliate (so i can taste sweeter too) with coconut oil which leaves me smooth and the bumps softer so he cant feel them. I just wish we find luck soon so i dont have to go to the beach in a long sleeve =[

I think it's natural that girls will have it easier. I'm 17 and I have it everywhere. I managed to make it feel a bit softer but it's still really bad. And my parents do nothing to help my self-esteem. They keep reminding me how bad it looks. Obviously, this makes me really self-conscious. Strangely though, before I gave it any attention I had no problem with it. It was only when people started affirming it that I started hating my body.

Now I MIGHT get into a relationship soon. And sex is inevitable if it works out. But she doesn't know about it yet. I have no idea as to how I should tell her since she'll just say it's nothing until she actually sees it. If I could just get it to go away on either my arms or torso(I only need one to go away) and I'll be happy. I really would. I'd not care about it anymore even if the still affected areas were as bad as they are now. I just hate the fact that I have it EVERYWHERE and most people only have it on their arms. It also ****es me off to see people complain about their arms while I WISHED to only have it on my arms.

Sorry to hijack the thread but advice for figuring out how to bring up the subject with the girl would be nice.

Good luck to the OP

hi wraith

look back over this thread most peoples girlfriends or boyfriends didn't care. when you mention it be brief and confident - dont apologise or act guilty it is a part of you, merely one fault amongst your many positive traits. im sure she will accept it, probrably she won't think much of it. a good girlfriend will support you and make you feel good about yourself. i'm sure you will notice her faults soon enough and when you do be understanding in return and a rosy future awaits

Thank you so much. I feel a lot better now.
