22 year old female :)

Hi, everyone. My name's Kitty, and obviously I'm new to this forum.

I've had KP on the outside of my thighs ever since I hit puberty, and it wasn't until about a half a year ago that it began to appear on the backsides of my arms. Since then, it has begun to spread from my upper arms all the way down to my wrists (on the backsides.) For some reason it seems to be worse on the right side than the left. It's almost started to appear on my chest.

I also have acne, so.. yeah. -_- It's a whole smorgasbord of skin conditions.

I'm pretty distressed about this as I am currently too poor to buy food most of the time (before any of you ask, someone is paying for our internet XD) I can't afford to see a derm, but soon my boyfriend's insurance will kick in and I will definitely be looking into treatments then.

In the meantime, I hope to find some home remedies I can try around the forums. So, here I am. I look forward to meeting you all and discussing potential cures for this stubborn condition.

Hey there! Though it's not free I've finally found something that actually works and you'll hear it mentioned around here. Bath & Body Works Eucalyptus & Spearmint lotion..I've tried everything and this is the only thing that has improved my kp. I think it's about $13 a bottle but I'm sure you can get it on sale...good luck!! ~Shannon
