Geek with KP reporting in

Hiya

I've had the KP pretty much all my life well I think that is what I have. The doctors always told me it was nothing. But I have been doing some research and I fit all the symptoms.

I am 21 and I am really glad I can put a name to this bothersome affliction.

I am a college student, with a major in foreign language. I am your typical geekie gamer girl.

I have no clue what I can do to treat or lessen the appearance or feel of my KP. All of my life I have hated wearing tank tops or sleeveless shirts due to my KP. I only have it on my upper arms.

I was wondering if it normal for a few of the kp bumps to be like zits?

That is me in a nut shell

Yes, kp affected follicles can become infected too, creating a concurrent acne scenario.
