Hi people

I can totally relate to what everyones saying on here. I have KP really badly all down my arms and my legs and a bit on my chest, and i even have it on my face. I HATE IT!! I have no confidence because of it.

I first got teased about my pink face at the start of secondary school, in total i got teased for about a year and a half, it was hell!! So as you can imagine after getting teased about pink cheeks there was no way i was gonna show my arms, which meant that in the middle of summer i was wearing a thick black jumper

Anyway, a couple of years down the line and a lot more **** happening, and im not going to school, ive been diagnosed with depression, an eating disorder and school related anxiety issues.........wow, its lovely being me!

I know this may sound pathetic but ive got a real phobia that no boy is ever gonna wanna date me because of my horrid skin and the issues it has caused me
My parents always say to me that i shouldnt worry cos im really pretty and no ones gonna care about a few spots, but its hard to believe them...

Anyone got any advice??

xxxxx

Hey, I can totally relate to you guys. I wish I had clear skin so bad, and I've yet to accept the fact that there is no cure because I know that there has to be something we can do about it. I mean if there is a cure for psoraisis, why can't we cure kp? i dont know. :\ but i hate showing my skin to, i have it on my arms and legs and try to wear long sleeves no matter what. It sucks so bad I dont know what to do anymore.

hey guys i dont know if its just me imagining but ive been taking about 4 of those omega 3 fish oils everyday for less than a week and i think the kp is disapearing slowly??

there is some patches of the kp area that is clear but i am not sure if its always been like that or the oil is helping lol
and ive been exfiolatin (dunno how to spell it ) and using that seabuck tthorn soap after exfiolatin then the sbt cream after but it seems to not be helping lol =[



but i think everyone should give the omega 3 fish oilsa try, they are really cheap
my mums got a massive jar i think it was around 20 aussie dollars

cya!

Hey xxincito,
I just turned 16 not too long ago, and I wanted my kp to clear for my sweet 16 too, but nothing helped =[
I was wondering if you could answer a couple questions for me if you dont mind? (:

How bad is your kp?, and is it completely disappearing?

thank you =]

hey everyone,

Im 16 and i have a ball coming up pretty soon and i wanted to know if there is anything yall have found that will help KP and the red face problem i have both and i would really like for it to be clearing up before March 28th.

Any ideas what i could do?

Thanks.

Hi !
I'm so glad I found this website
and for me my childhood was all about hiding my arms
now I'm 19 and I've learn not to be ashame about it
and even use short leaves T- shirts sometimes :P
I know is had , for me the worse part is my back
so I hate beach time because of bikinis ..
but someway or another hope to get used to it.

My daughter tells me weekly - I just hate my skin! It breaks my heart. I know what you are going through, don't give up, we will master this! Have to share the info below, hope it helps someone.

I am now treating my 14 yr old daughter for PARASITES. I will let you know if we see results with her KP. A friend called last week and gave me the contact info of a friend of hers who had suffered with KP for years. She like, all of us, have tried most every treatment plan listed on this KP forum, and the endless bottles of creams, lotions, gels, light treatments, scrubs, peels, no milk diets, supplements, etc, prescribed by our mulitple Dermatologists or Internists. This lady could tell me one day she had had enough with her KP!! She visited her local "urgent care clinicr" and demanded that the doctor take a specimen of tissue from one of the inflammed dots on her arm and send to the lab to specifically check for PARASITES. Of course, no one had ever thought of this before and the doctor was hesitant to do this. The report came back YES -PARASITES. 6-8 months later she tells me her skin is healed, no more parasites. I've read recently that all infants are born into this world without parasites, once human contact begins, the parasites begin. ALL humans have some degree of parasites living in their bods. I will update our progress as we begin to kill off the parasites.

oh my god parasites?!
cant wait to hear how the this continous
really interesting!!!

Everyone has parasites. I'm sure we have way more than the regular john doe because of our clogged follicles, and I'm sure they make KP look the way they do, just like bacteria causes pimples/acne to look raised and inflammed. However, while treating the parasites/bacteria will lessen/eliminate the symptoms, I doubt parasites are the reason we produce excess keratin. Also, I highly doubt getting rid of them once will get rid of them forever. (Unless we are talking about parasites inside of us that directly cause us to produce excess keratin)

My 14 yr old will continue a "maintenance" plan which will include daily removal of toxins, chemicals, worms, poisons, & parasites (daily internal and external cleanse - gradually producing healthy and clean inside and out -thanks to alternative nautral medicine) Will keep you posted of progress. I'm sure our "iffy" food supply and environment places additional and uneccessary stresses on bods with KP/Acne.

Alybower,

What kind of parasites and worms does your daughter have?

Re: Ive Hit A Breakthrough Please Read!!!
Parasites: What kind? I am treating her as if it were Demodex.

My 14 yr old daughter has had KP for the past 3 yrs, been getting gradually worse, month by month, spreading from the tops of her shoulder to her wrist, tops of her thighs to ankles - the past couple of months. We said enough is enough, exfoilating only keeps her skin in a state of inflammation. She looked like she was in a cat fiight, etc. Been to 3 Derms, Internists, Endocrinologist, Allergist, Spa facials to include arms, tried every cream, lotion, gel, scrub, peel, Dermadoctor, supplements, Peason's Promise, antibiotics, birth control pills -thinking her hormones were imbalanced causing KP & acne, no milk diet, Bioskin, Arbonne, Clinique, many many name brand OTC creams, etc. A friend called last week 8 May 08 and informed me of her "parasite theory" she had learned from another friend with KP. A doctor s****ed a specimen from one of the girls bumps and sent off and tested for Parasites, came back positive. The potential parasite theory is worth a try and makes sense to us, due to the fact the hair follicles are blocked with excess Keratin and every human body occupies parasites. My friends friend used for 6-8 mos (and now my daughter is using for 5 days) soap and shampoo to treat Demodex Parasites externally, HD Soap - Demodicidin Soap, Dr Chang Sheng X Shampoo @ www.pacificspiritcatalogs.com 503.357.1566 and to treat Parasites internally my daughter is drinking Dr Miller's Holy Tea @ www.holyteaclub.com/gaylebraun Our friend also noticed cystic acne cleared from the external and internal cleanses listed above. My 14 yr old has been doing this treatment for almost 5 days and can see improvement on her legs where she had the least amount of inflammation. Remember if you are wearing long sleeves or jackets to cover these bumps every day, wash the jacket every day to kill off potential parasites nesting on the fabric. When using the soap leave on the skin 10-20 minutes to dry, then wash off. Remember to clean the bath tub after bathing. The tea is natural, infants consume this tea. Once skin clears you will only need to do a "maintenance" with this soap, shampoo, and tea. We are also changing sheets more often during this initial process. Hope this gives hope to at least one KP sufferer. Will update our progress - so far positive results. Blessings to you!

Yeah, I've had it since I can remember, and I'm 18. I used to intern for a kindergarden teacher, and all of the little kids would always ask me what was wrong with my skin- I would just tell them there's nothing wrong, and that it was just how my skin is. But people in school would always ask me if I was cold and had goosebumps, so I'd have to explain. My close friends don't even notice it anymore, but new people seemed grossed out by my arms. Which bothers me because it isn't really gross, just different. Ugh, people are so frustrating...

Hey I can so totally relate and I know you must be tired of hearing that but its true. What I wanna ask is do people tend to have rosy cheeks along with KP, because I also have the pink cheeks that just dont come right...
