Tonight was horrible Me and my Dad got in a terrible fight, school's is going terrible my skin is getting much worse. And I feel lost. I haven't been the greatest christian towards God either. I know I should have more faith but I feel like There's never going to be a cure for my condition. Only treatments to improve it slightly or signifigantly. I just wish Everybody could be born with a high self esteem, some kids are just so much luckier with there self esteem and body, face complexion because of genetics there luckier usually. I feel like there's no hope for me, almost everybody else in here with the red face either is an adult or has a parent who is willing to look into lasers. My parents won't. I'm in tears cause I don't know what my calling in Life is, I can't even say Hi to friends at the mall becuase I know I'll blush And my Kp(rubra faciei) doesn't help at all. Can anybody please, I know you're all so occupied in this sulphur soap, and special pills that cure kp thing. But please don't ignore my post If there's anything any surgery, pill,food?? I'm desperate for answers anything that can signifigantly help my Red face from Kp please post it. Cynolaser never e-mailed me back because I guess they figured I was to young. I asked them what lasers they had that could treat me And they haven't responded. I'm almost at rock bottom And need help please help me, GOd bless you all so much.

I do have KP as well, however it only effects my legs. But based on what I have been reading this MSM stuff may actually work. Please see the post I listed above for yet another account of MSM's results. I actually just placed an order @ msm-msm.com yesterday after stumbling onto this message site for the first time. The price was only $16.35 shipped to me for 250 pills. The price is drastically reduced for larger orders, but I didn't want to invest too much until I seen my own results. However if ecommerce is not an option for you, I saw a post yesterday that says these pill are sold at Target stores. See check your local Walmart, Kmart, etc. Good luck to you (and me) and keep us posted....

Hey there Mark, I don't really have any solutions for your condition since I don't suffer from rubra faciei like you, I have KP pretty bad though. I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone in this. I also feel lost @ times & I'm 31 years old so I know things are even tougher for you being a teenager. Those can be some rough years. Please know that we on this message board are all here for you & will try to give you any help & words of encouragement we possibly can. You said that you got no response from Cynolaser. I would say to be persistent & email them until you get a response. Also, you mentioned that your parents were not willing to look into laser treatment for you. Have you expressed to them how sad you are feeling due to this condition? If not, you really need to tell them just how it's affecting you. Mark, good luck & I'll keep you in my prayers.
