Hi Guys
Im 32 and have been suffering from KP since my early teens. I'd heard that the older you get, the better it becomes. But I've not seen signs of this as yet! In fact during times of stress not only does it get worse on my arms but i also get boils on other areas of my body as well? Im so fed up of it now as nothing that ive ever tried seems to have helped it

When they say-when you get older, they should maybe say-when you are old. Well, that sounds bad, but I talked with my mom and told her I finally found out what this was called. She hasn't had bumps or problems for maybe 5 years or so and she's 54. Of course, 54 isn't OLD, but at 26 and having kp since elementary school, 26 should be "older". She never used scrubs of any kind, and I think for the last 8 years she has used Irish spring soap. I don't think she even uses lotion. So who knows, we are all different, but I am hoping that what I am doing now will help alleviate it a lot sooner than 50.
