Glad there is a site like this, I never realized that this was so widespread. My family thinks I'm overreacting but I have considered cancelling a vacation to Fl. because of this. Stupid huh? Hopefully some of the info. on here will help. Good luck to everyone in your quest to be rid of this!

I know exactly what your going through. I won't go swimming or wear anything sleeveless when my arms are a mess. And lately they are all the time. I wish I didn't care what people thought but it's hard not to.

What ever you do, do not let KP rule your life. If you have an oppurtunity to go to FL then go. I have lived in South FL for 20 years and I have KP. I pretty much just have to keep in mind that no one is perfect. It is unfortunate that we have it but I can not let it change the way I live my life. If you feel more comfortable covering it then go buy some long shorts or cute capri pants and some shirts that have short sleeves or jersey style sleeves and come on down and have some fun. There is alot to do here. You might be sorry someday if you do not come. If you want to go to the beach and get sun just go and do'nt sit close to other people on the beach. You might actually find the sun will temporarily get rid of it. (do not over do it in the sun and use sunscreen).

Of course you are right. Actually I lived in Plantation for about 8 yrs, I didn't have this then!! I think you will agree with me though when I say that S. Fl. is a difficult place to be sometimes, as many people seem to spend alot of time on their looks and it's easy to become very critical of yourself.
