They defintely do differ from the kp I have everywhere else,so I am just wondering if there is anybody out there who could tell me if they know anything about these dots,or even whether they have them themselves?

I would be v grateful because they make me quite self-conscious,espcially in the summertime.

Thanks,
magicmoggie
its probably kp, depending on your skin completion the dots can look red, brown,black, even purplish .
do they look very purple? even in different lighting?

Re: kp all over but on legs purple dots?
na they dont look very very purple,just sort of a tinge. I am beginning to question whether they are actually KP or not because I keep reading threads where people rave about a product thats really made a difference to their skin but then say "now i need to tackle the dots" or things similar to that.so i think they might be something different,or a different kind of kp,if such a thing exists?

Re: kp all over but on legs purple dots?
ive heard that the dots appear because of a lack of blood flow also ive heard that the blood could be redirected to these spots in an attempt to clear out the poors.
i do know that the bumps and dots are kp. ive been getting the red dots lately and if i dont exfoliate, then thell get rough and turn into bumps

Hi John ,

Do You Think That If Circulation Is Improved ,that The Dots Will Go Away Or Reduce In Color? I Have The Same Condition And Would Like To Get Rid Of It For Good. Even If I Go Tanning , The Dots Just Get Darker.
