Hello.

My name is Jane, I'm 25 years old, and I only just recently found out that what has been a mystery to me for most of my life has a name, and it's not just me!

I've had "rosy cheeks" since I was a child, and my upper arms are affected as well. My thighs have sporadic dots, but nothing too noticeable. My neck, just under by chin, seems to be a bit rough too, but it's not anything that you can see. On the other hand, I got really lucky, and I have never had acne. Small price to pay, I suppose!

I've heard from various sources that there are treatements available, that there aren't, that you can buff them away, that you need to use certain soap, etc, etc.

I did receive a prescription cream back in high school, but all it did was break me out really bad - allergic reaction.

I'm not particularly embarrassed or ashamed, though I do sometimes wonder what it'd be like to have silky smooth skin all over.

Anyway, I guess that's all I've got to say. Great to see that there's a community for us.

Jane,

Your KP sounds identical to what mine used to be before I tried oil pulling. You might want to read the sticky thread, "Oil Pulling Treatment". Maybe it would help you. Also, check out the sticky thread "Thread Devoted to What Works for You."
