I understand that! My mom passed it along to me and everyday we get together and gripe about it! At least now I actually have a name for the thing. lol If we do pass it along to our children, the best way (in my opinion) is to get the children educated on it. When I was a child I did not know what to say to people when they would stare and question the bumps. I would just shrug and turn red. Now at least we can share our knowledge and maybe even our coping skills with our children. If the kids have a name for it, thats better then what I had growing up! I did not know what the heck it was let alone what to tell other children! It is nice to meet you and everyone!

What's worked for your kids?

i had to double check your name to make sure i hadn't written that post! i have had kp my entire life and my mom had it but never as badly as i do. since i have had my son, almost 3 yrs ago, it has been the worst EVER. and now my fears have come true. my son already has it on his arms and legs. he doesn't have the redness, just the tiny bumps. i didn't have redness until he was born but know it's like my arms are a completely different color than by face and body! i want to help him before it gets bad like mine but have no clue where to start. HELP!

Hi moms! ditto on a lot of that. I'm very concerned about getting my KP cleared up, which got worse after childbirth and a move/climate change, so I don't pass on the bad example of picking at it to my child. I've been working on a multifold approach based on kebod, turquois and baronster's "Cure" threads along with some older posts. The 3 aforementioned are fervent about their personal approaches which are oil pulling (dietary/detox), topical, and dietary. My son's KP is extremely mild at this point - I'm mostly on the lookout. I'm hoping we all have a good handle on this by the time he hits adolescence when it's most likely to flare up. peace - bunnyday
