Hi I have just recently joined this site and i am really happy to have found it !




Though i'm in a situation, my kp has finally gotten on my last nerve. I can't help but pop them i have tried creams, taping the tops of my finger nails and everything i just can't stop ! The redness of it just keeps getting worse and my self esteem about myself gets worse to.

i have a semi formal coming up soon and i really want to go, but the thing that is stopping me is my damn arms. If anyone has any solutions i would LOVE to hear from you !

thanks soo much

Well, if you are looking for a more short term solution for w/e event you have coming up I would suggest tanning. Many people have had good results(short term solution) tanning to cover up their KP and redness. Just stop the popping ^^. Anyway so many people have KP these days it is not that big of a deal, nobody will think less of you.

I agree with the tanning comment as a quick fix. It does help, but you need to take care of your skin before/during/after so you dont cause more problems.
Picking causes lots of redness and infections which lead to scars which are worse than the KP itself.
Do whatever you can to stop picking! Try exfoliating in the shower to grind down the bumps so you dont have as much to pick at. (granulated sugar works pretty well I've found, or the use of a pumice stone).
