Is it really KP??

Okay, you all may think I'm crazy or just plain stupid.

I have never heard of KP and I have always assumed my back was covered in acne. But it never went away. I look at some of your pictures of KP and to me, I don't see how that's what I have....

To me, the bumps are hard but they don't itch. They do bleed sometimes if I pick at them (just like acne). But I should have faith that my derm knows what he's talking about...

I have posted pics of my back at Picasa Web Albums - Angela - Keratosis Pil...
for those of you who've had it and are familiar with it, please, take a look and tell me what you think. Click on the photo to see it bigger.

Thanks for your input

CG,

I checked your photos, but they are not close enough to see details.It isn't always easy to diagnose from photos.

Go here What is Keratosis Pilaris (KP)? to see if your skin resembles these photos.

I hope this helps. Please keep in touch.
