hormones/birth control
Originally posted by Louise

I don't remember having KP until I started taking the birth control pill. Has anyone else noticed this? Also, I read somewhere that Vitamen K helped with the redness. I have gotten rid of the bumps with Retin-A but need to get rid of the redness.

I too have noticed a worsening of my KP since I've been on low dose pills like Allesse dispite daily application of lac-hydrin lotion. My dermatologist said that hormone changes/weight gain can trigger KP to get worse.

Ironically, my acne on my face has virtually disappeared from this new pill regimine.
