Hey guys, I got Kp on the face. Not bumpy but just a persistent "blush" I guess you would say. Ive read that a simple OTC hydrocortisone cream can help with that but I just wanted to ask you guys for your thoughts. Remember this isnt a bump problem, just the red blush on the face. Thanks for the help!

Oh wow finally I meet someone who has KP on the face too. You know I have been to 4 dermatologists and they all had no idea what was going on with the redness on my face!!? I had to find out myself, and sure enough, it is KP. I find that stress exacerbates the redness, and that taking tepid (not hot) showers works, and not using anything too harsh on the face. Just 2% salicylic acid and sunscreen, and foundation seems to cover it up during the day ok. Still..it's such a bother!!! I tried a pulse-dye laser treatment that was supposed to make the redness go away if it was vascular, but it had no effect. PLease post what you're doing now, and ANYTHING that seems to help..!!
