Hello. (I'm completly new to this.) I have had medium to severe KP on my upper arms and light KP on my upper legs for 5 years. I am almost 15 now. My mother has it in the places i do, but also on her back. My younger sister is also slowly developing it. I have read that it sometimes clears with age, but my mom's only got worse and i'm afraid mine will too. I have regular check-up with my dermatologist not only for my KP but also for my extremely sensitive skin. That is why it is difficult for me to mosturize often because it will irritate my skin in other ways...it's hard but i try not to get too self conscious about it or envious of some on my friend's perfect skin. (Thank goodness for finding this community!)
