I have heard that many people on this website have been getting great results with the sulfur soap etc, but has anyone been getting results that are good enough to wear sleeveless shirts??? I never actually hear about whether KP is still affecting your wardrobes or not. So people- if you are getting great results could you tell me whether KP still affects your wardrobe or not? I would appreciate that.
Thanks heaps!!!

I had it pretty bad on my legs and I did wear shorts a few times, not many because of the red dots. I have been using the Oxy for over 1 month now and it has faded them so much. I also have some clear patches of skin that used to have KP on them.I am looking forward to wearing shorts again and getting tan like I did before this KP thing got so bad. It gets really, really hot in Phila. It is so humid. When it gets as hot as it been people die like fly's here.

Yes my results are good enough that I can wear sleeveless shirts. You can't see any bumps on my arms anymore (YEA!!!), the only thing that still bothers me is that I still have the red dots! :-( But unless you are looking directly for it, you can't tell so much. It's just not as noticable as it was w/ the bumps. However, I always wore sleeveless anyway, I didn't let it affect my wardrobe. Even though I am terribly self concious of my skin condition! Wear whatever you want, and if someone has a problem w/ it, then it's their problem, not yours! Best of luck to you! :-)

I am really conscious about my arms and won't wear sleeveless tops unless they look perfect. I've been wearing sleeveless tops for about a month now. Keeping my fingers crossed that this lasts until next summer.

sulfur/ sa soap helps a little. it seems to make the bumps not as big, but they are still there. Oxy has helped the redness. drinking water and taking cod liver oil pills and vitamins seems to be helping too. whether or not i am having a good day or bad, if it is hot, i wear tank tops and shorts. if someone stares i can care less. i don;t know them, they don't know me and i have loving friends, a great husband and a beautiful little boy who thinks mommy is pretty. i have modeled, been a cheerleader, been asked to be a bikini model (in my 20's). although I personally do not like having kp, and i have it all over, it has not stopped me from wearing what i want. the more we stop hiding our condition, the more others will see it, maybe even learn about it and the more tolerable it will be to the non-kp community. personally, i am more concerned whether my butt looks fat in what i am wearing than whether or not my kp is showing.
Wear what YOU like!
