Question about Keratosis Pilaris?!


Question: Question about Keratosis Pilaris!?
HELP!! I'm 32 and began getting a BAD case of keratosis pilaris approx 2 yrs ago all over both my upper arms (from elbow all the way up to shoulder---the worst being in the middle of those two places)!.!.!.!.I can't wear short sleeves!.!.!.!.I have seen Dermatologists who only give me creams that never work!. I know KP is incurable, but what about any other alternatives besides creams like IPL (intense pulse light), a laser to help remove the KP!? Any advice would be GREAT!. Thanks everyone in advance!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I asked about laser treatments at my dermatologist - they say that it's very expensive, and it really doesn't work!. You might get a temporary improvement, but it wouldn't last long at all, as KP is basically a hereditary condition and therefore programmed into your body!. However - the "KP Duty" lotion and body scrub work better than anything I've ever tried! It's bloody expensive ($36 for a 4oz tube, just for the cream - body scrub is extra) - but it really does work well!. You have to be dedicated - the stuff has to go on every day, or it starts coming back!. I can finally wear shorts and sleeveless shirts again without total strangers commenting on my skin ("Do you know that you've broken out in a rash!?"!.!.!."Man, that's some sunburn!.!.!." "Are you cold - you have goosebumps all over you!"!.!.!.and my personal favorite, from a complete stranger!.!.!."That rash looks awful!. Is it contagious!?"

The KP Duty really does work - and believe me, over the years I have tried EVERYTHING, and then some!. Even with the maximum strength LacHydrin lotion, LactaCare, and the prescription strength versions of the same stuff with steroids mixed in, I still had the red bumps!. The KP Duty does not completely get rid of my problem, but I have a pretty nasty case of KP, so if yours is mild, it might alleviate it completely!. The 4oz tube lasts me a little over a month if I'm careful to apply it very sparingly - the scrub lasts a little bit longer (6 weeks!?)!. Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
