Have u been to a dermatologist and got a diagnosis of KP on his face ?

Hi Eastern Star,
Welcome to the KP Forum. You might try reading this thread

to see if there is anything you want to try for your son. I don't advise acids for children, but there are plenty of other remedies others are using with success. I hope you find something for him. Please keep in touch.

We have been to different dermatologists and they have prescribed different creams. The last one we went to prescribed a sulfur smelling cream that just smelled awful and irritated his face even more. The kept saying he has "plugs" but never said that he has KP specifically. His face got better when we traveled to the caribbean and as soon as we got back to the States, his face went back to the way it was.

Thanks Kebod for the info.

I would look for a dermatologist, who will take consideration at evaluating him, PDL works for me , but I dont know if u would want to get into that.

try aveeno moisturizing bar to wash face, and use a aveeno moisturizer cream.

he's really too young to use acids, although when i was around that age my doctor prescribed me "lac-hydrin" that might just irritate him more though. at this point in time, because he has acne and is all hormonal going through puberty, I'd just stick with natural sensitive-skin ingredients which won't get rid of the kp necessarily, but it won't make it worse and it might soothe it. "ren" is a fantastic skin care brand with zero chemical ingredients. You can find their goods on sephora.com
