I take Mircette BC and it did nothing for my KP, but I don't get zits anymore.

Ah, yes. BC pills are often prescribed without even checking our current hormone levels. My doctor didn't. Did yours? Should have done a saliva test. Blood tests are pretty inaccurate. I went off the BC pills after 3 months of NO libido and problems being patient and rational. I started the Prolief after my period ended and I've felt better than I have in years. Of course, now I have to talk my husband into a vasectomy...

I've been using Nuvaring for a few years now. I did not notice a connection btwn hormones and KP. I would never go back to the pill, after using this method.

Nope, no help at all. Been on the pill for 4-5 years and haven't noticed a change in my KP.

.

Mine stopped spreading down onto my forearms and knees/calves since I went off the BC pills, but that's also when I started Prolief (the hormone cream). Not sure if it was the lack of the BC pills or not. I know one thing for sure: I feel a heck of a lot better!

I took BC pills for 4 years in my late teens, then went off of them and recently started back. I never made the connection before but here in the three weeks my kp as started disappearing.

Back Story:

when I was young, around 13ish my derm said I had the 2nd worse case of kp that he had seen and I remember the red bumps and all that, but I have no memory of it when I was in my later teens (when I was taking BC pills). Back then I wore tank tops all the time, then I went off the pills and I think that is when my kp really came back to the point that I wanted to keep my upper arms hidden at all times. Now I am back on the pills and my arms are getting better.

So I think that for me it helps, although I know others have said it didnt, but then generally what works for one person doesnt work for another. I think that one or more of many hormonal imbalances affect it and the key is figuring out which one(s)

Sorry if this is confusing

ok that gives me some hope then! maybe it will get better!!! ahhhhhh i cant take it!! i just hope it doesnt get worse. but in my case i dunno if it could possibly get any worse i have a severe case too. all over my arms, legs, face..etc. it sucks...it just sucks. im hoping something will helpppp.
