Weight Connected to KP

I have noticed that when I am regularly exercising, and have control over my weight, my KP goes away. Anytime my weight increases, it flares up. Is there a connection between weight and this skin disorder because I only seem to have it when I am "feeling fat".

i've read quite a few stories here where weight seems to be a factor, but it only seems to be a factor with people who have come into contact with the condition only after gaining a substantial amount of weight. i think with people who've had this condition since birth and who've never really had a weight problem, the connection is non-existent.
