I Need Help

natalie.kayy · #1 04-04-2008, 03:57 PM

Hello. I have no clue what to do about all of the red bumps on my thighs, upper arms, knees, upper shins, buttocks, and even my lower back. This makes it sound extreme and hideous, but I can assure you, I dont look like a crocodile. Although, I really would like to get rid of the bumps. Also, I have an extreme and burning itch on my legs after I shave. I dont use soap, either. I use conditioner, and it helps me somewhat. But, I am only fourteen years old and I dont think that my mom wants to buy me tons of stuff to help cure my ridiculous bumps. What can I do to help that is considerably cheap? Or even with household items? I really need help. It makes me feel self-concious and I don't know what to do!

Help! I'm utterly clueless.
Thanks.

Natalie

Natalie,

Here are some affordable methods. I don't know if they will help you or not, but you never know until you try.

Oil pulling. Inexpensive. Helps with bumps better than it helps with redness.

Exfoliation.

Sugar or salt scrubs

Good moisturizer, such as one by Eucerin or coconut oil

Very healthy diet -- no trans fats, no junk food, sodas; lots of vegetables, sufficient protein, whole grain carbs; omega 3 supplement

Exercise

Sufficient water

Google any of these topics to learn more. They may all help if used together. Let us know what you try and what makes a difference. Give yourself at least 30 days, maybe 60, to see a difference. Read as many of the posts here as you can to learn what others are trying.

Have you tried shaving using a moisturizer, such as a body lotion, instead of soap?

KP may have many causes, hence, many different cures. A product or method that helps one person may not help another. You will have to try many to find something that helps you.

Please post again and keep in touch with us.

John,

Thank you. Good to hear from you again. What is your atavar photo?

My energy? I'm a fast typist. Normally, I can do all my reading and answer in 1/2 an hour. Plus, I eat coconut oil every day. It increases metabolism and gives me energy to spare.

John,

Sometimes I eat it, but I prefer to cook with it. Two to six tablespoons a day. It is also my favorite for oil pulling.

p.s. I couldn't make out your cat, as it was upsidedown. I just got a new stray cat. I now have three cats. My sister says to be careful that I don't become a "cat lady".
