Hi, I am not sure if I belong here...

Hi guys

I am new here, just found this site yesterday night but am still not sure if KP is the condition I have at the moment, so I've put up some pics if you could tell me if this is where I should be and if anyone at all has any suggestions on what I could do to get rid of them it's greatly greatly greatly appreciated!!

This is my back:

oh i can get rid of it for you but ull need someone to do it for you cause its on ur back and u wont be able to reach ur back. there is no cure for kp but i can get rid of all its signs meanings i can get rid of ur bumps and red dots but after ur treatment is done ull need to apply 15% GLYCOLIC ACID on your back once every 2 days for the rest of ur life untill they come up with a complete cure. but if u do this treatment ur bumps and redness will stay gone but if u ever stop with the glycolic acid for maintence after ur treatment ur bumps will come back again down the line.

That does look like KP.

As for how to get rid of it, I've had excellent results with the Sea Buckthorn Treatment. There's a big thread about it here (The Sea Buckthorn Treatment Guide)

Cool thanks guys!

Fortunately and unfortunately I know what it is now...I've actually tried glycolic acid on my back for a bit but it seemed to irritate it a bit too much...
Just wondering about the Sea Buckthorn, I live in Australia and I am not sure where to get it from, can it be ordered online maybe? And does anyone know how much the postage is? I am a poor student...

yes it can be ordered online, i live in usa so that the only way i could get it cause they dont sell it in virginia. but i really recommend the aluminum oxide crystals and glycolic acid treatment as my bumps and red dots are gone. glycolic acid does not work alone only for 15% of people it has. but for 100% guaranteed to work u must dermabrasion ur back for 2 months with aluminum oxide crystals then apply glycolic acid cause ur pores are clear and unclogged cause the dermabrasion with these strong crystals open up the hard caps . i personally never tried the sea buckthorn soap but i hear people with infested detox mites on here got rid of there with that product . but try whatever u think is best.

This site sells Weleda stuff (Weleda Australia - Products - Bodycare - Sea Buckthorn Bodycare), this one has the Aubrey soap (Aubrey Organics), those 2 are Australian sites so postage shouldn't be too bad.

I take capsules as well but I don't know if they're available in Australia. This site (Pharma Nord Omega 7 Sea Buckthorn Oil, 150 Capsules. - Elixirhealth.co.uk - Solgar stockist, slimming, skincare, herbal supplements, vitamins & minerals, health food shop, Cornwall, uk.) has them and they'll send them to Australia for £8 but they're quite expensive anyway so maybe just try the soap and oil or something first if it's not in your budget.

Hi Janero,

I'm in Australia too, haven't looked into the seabuckthorn so would be interested to know how you get on if you decide to follow it up.
