Exclamation Hello all (and a shaving question)

I'm 33 and this is honestly the first I heard of KP. I have had it as long as I remember, along with the "red face". My mom said they called it something else years ago, and no doctor has ever mentioned it since I was little. I am so happy to know there are things out there to help ease it. (Besides the face, I have it pretty much on my entire arms and legs) Any recommendations to shaving legs or lotions to use to help ease? Is razors better or one of the hair removal lotions?

Looking forward to reading more and chatting with you all!

Use an electric razor, cause I found that if you have bumps, a regular razor will cut you and aggrivate the KP. Also, use a pre shaving lotion to help moisturize and help the hair stand up so you can get a nice, non-aggrivating shave. Works for me

I think it would be pretty gross to have hairy legs (speaking as a female!)
