nothing like growing up with KP and having people continuously ask you "why do your arms look like that?!"
or trying to pop them b/c they think they're pimples =/
“ Are you cold?”
I get this so often ,so i stopped wearing sleeveless
I thought white skin was prone to this, I rarely saw it on Mediterranean or Black skin, do you have much melatonin in your skin? And yes it looks like goosebumps in the cold!
I was really shy about it when I was little and I remember I met a girl who leaned in and whispered "I have that on my arms too" as if she found an ally, and I was so embarrassed for having it acknowledged in public (even if ever so quietly) that I turned beet red and walked away. I hope she didn't take it too personally.
your tiktok popped up on my fyp and i’m so thankful i found this because KP is my biggest insecurity.
Same!
Same here! Getting better after 30 though
Mine too!!!!
Same
ME TOO!!! I’m so excited to watch this video!

Hey i wanted to ask you that there is a medicine in homoeopathic name- salicylic acid and urea ,is it the same ? Please help me here.
Since I watched this video I started using the ingredients they recommended and after a few weeks I've started to really see some improvement.
I shower and use an exfoliating scrub and scrubber, then I use the same face wash (clean and clear blackhead wash which has salicylic acid) on my arms and legs. I wash off and after the shower I put a low strength retinol all over my arms and legs, then I use Gold Bond foot cream (because the second ingredient is Urea and I think it works really well) on my arms. It's a bit more expensive, so I only use it on my arms because I don't really show my legs. So on my legs I just use whatever lotion I want.
I've been doing this for a couple months and it's been getting better. But you have to be consistent.
DON'T GO IN SUN W LACTIC ACID!!!!! AND IT DOESNT WORK FOR THIS!!!!
SALICYLIC ACID
@@happiness4908 Homeopathy is total quackery. Obviously Salicylic Acid and Urea are different substances. They can lead to similar results so you can use either in a lotion or other leave on. From the brands listed above as examples NOT in homeopathic form which is total rubbish.
Avoid scrubs if possible, easy to damage skin. Especially when other less invasive methods are effective.
As a teen and into my early 20s I used to be so jealous of people with smooth arms.
So since we are all here, are we starting a support group or something?
It's a good idea!
Yes
I agree
yes, im so down
We have one already 🙂 That's why I'm here, they shared the link.
Kp comes and goes...I'm still waiting on the go part.
Me too.
Me too
Me,th iui s just popped up about 2yrs ago only on one arm which is weird imo.
💀💀 same
@@coochieslayer22
Mine just pop up on my neck this year. I hope its just on my arm 😭
I went to 3 dermatologists who all told me to moisturing it and it would go away. It's been 3 years 😂. Thank you so much for making these videos!
Same! I am was like, what. This was after the doctor had to look up what it was. I was young when they told me, and I sweat too much. I am like, that’s not going to happen.
I have had doctors tell me it is just dry skin. I have tried countless creams.. kp is annoying! I grew up very, very self conscious about it. Friends would make fun, you know.. im sure.
Did you try the treatment
Did it go away?
When I was younger my GP told my mom that my and my sister's KP was staph infection 🤦
@@shysky3239 moisturizing alone will not solve the problem. If you use a lotion with urea like they said (I recommend Gold Bond foot lotion) it will make the bumps softer, but it won't solve the underlying cause or the redness, which is the part that makes most people self-conscious about their skin
Thank you for the "WHY"MY daughter has had this since she was 7 and she's 15 now this will help her better understand! So thank you. 💙
Just fyi: People with brown or black skin can have keratosis pilaris as well and it does not appear as red bumps. On dark skin, the bumps can be a darker shade of brown than the overall skin tone OR on very dark skin, the bumps can be the same color as the skin. It's important to show photos representative of different skin tones so people can have a better idea of what these conditions look like and know how to describe the issues to their doctors.
THANK YOU!
Unfortunately most beauty/skin care products and treatments are designed and catered for those with fair skin.
RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!
Yup. I am black but light skinned and mine all looks like dark brown bumps on the backs of my arms and on my legs. Products designed for white people often don't work for black people and it isn't even major to me so I just leave it alone.
Thanks! Skin conditions look so different on darker skin! It can lead to misdiagnosis for a lot of us!
Maybe people will stop asking if I’m cold now!
Lmaoo right I don’t like it
This comment is literally my life lol
My doctor once asked are you cold or is your skin just really dry? I hate it. 😑
@@Rainen444 I hate it too
THIS...LITERALLY THIS 😭🙌🏼
I absolutely love the free education you provide. It's what makes me trust your recommendations. Thanks for all the great videos you guys put out!
I’ve had keratosis palaris my whole life and I’ve just learned to accept that I have bumpy skin. I remember asking my mom when I was very young why my skin was bumpy and she said the doctor told her it was just clogged hair pores and there was nothing we could do about it. I’m not sure I’ve ever met someone with it before but this video is so reassuring. This channel taught me what the condition is actually called and the fact that it’s genetic and incurable. I may give some of these products a try but honestly I feel like a weight has been lifted, knowing that it’s not my fault. Knowing that it’s not a lack of hygiene or something I’m doing to cause it. Thank you so much for that.
Yeah, actually I'm grateful for having this and blackheads, i had a ton of blackheads and a lot of people were telling me i lacked hygiene they advised me to clean my skin and squeeze them which only led to scars, darkening of the area, that made me feel disgusting and sad, even my siblings took a part in this. But now I'm very informed, it's just genetics so i can now INFORM others helping them not spread misinformation
Some foods seems to have association with chicken skin. Gluten, sugar, dairy, anything that is known to Couse inflammation in the body. If you have digestive issues too they often show up as skin problems too.
Same here! Though keratosis pilaris is clogged hair pores. ..
@@tashaax1993xanimalloverx yes I know, I think what I was trying to say was that I’ve never actually met anyone else with KP so I that is the only info I had to go on for all those years.
@@insomniousluci2931 neither have I x
Since it’s genetic, I’m going to imagine each dot as a kiss from an ancestor 😂
I cuss my ancestors for their copious kisses
Mine's genetic, from my Nana to my mum then myself.
I was born ginger to so my skins pretty sensitive. My mom was a thick, curly, long & black haired lady with olive coloured skin, same with my dad but short hair.
My Nana had the Scottish/Welsh/ginger gene though, as well as the KP gene.
Hopefully thats all the bad genes them that I have :p.
@@KyleTO7 My heritage is Scottish too, how interesting! Although I have darker colouring.
lollll
I take a lot of vitamin d now and I don’t have this anymore
Okay but how did UA-cam know that I have keratosis pilaris 🧐
i know, right?..
You've obviously, been googling or searching up... Everything is monitored didn't you know ? 😂🤣
They know it all, honey. They know it all. 😅
I know so weird 😅😅😅
I watched 1 makeup video of foundations and now UA-cam knows I have KP somehow
I truly appreciate the scientific background on everything. Love you guys!
Your videos have a great combination of solid medical information and dorky humor. Thanks for creating them!
I can’t believe it took me 22 years to find out that this was something that is not only common but you can also treat it?!?!!! I just thought I was getting acne cause I’m sweaty
27 for me.... and I learned about this on tik tok...
Yeah 50 years for me
Look if u treat it do u see any difference like not comong back
Has anyone noticed the KP is primarily on your dominate side? Mine is mostly on my right side. Weird.
26 for me! I thought it was a gluten allergy
I have refused to wear short sleeves my whole life because of my KP. It has just been such a massive insecurity
I was the same way for years, then somewhere around 30’s I realized my value is not defined by my flaws. Be confident, you’re beautiful, and nobody is thinking less about you because your skin isn’t perfect. Nobody’s skin is perfect.
Same, especially bc my family still refuses to understand how it works no matter how many times I explain it.
Same
Same with my legs
I thought I was the only one 🥺 as a child I always wore long sleeved shirts because of my KP. I feel so bad
I love the why! Thanks for breaking it down and starting with what the problem is, main ingredients and the percentages, and how to use them properly and then the product recommendations!
Very useful to hear the different beneficial ingredients and the ‘why’ of how they work for this condition. Thank you!
KP is one of my biggest insecurities honestly. I hate that my arms are red more than the actual bumps. I'm so glad you guys made a video about it. I'll be trying this to help it.
Extra virgin cod liver oil supplement. It’s from a vitamin A deficiency. Emphasis on the extra virgin. Exfoliate with the rough bath gloves and put A &D at bed time. Those 3 things. Send me a before and after. I’ve been an esthetician for 10 years and I’ve helped many with KP.
A&D first aid ointment
Does it help?
@@jjmartz3426 A n D?
You can try to lower eating dairy products and use soya or other substitutes. I noticed that when I barely eat dairy, it almost disappears on my skin.
The amount of times people have been like “Oh, you have chicken skin. You should moisturize more often.” 🙄 If they only knew. Lol
Same! Or I get " oh , you have a rash!". I hate when people bring attention to it 😳
Or when you get told to exfoliate 🥲
They're actually interesting. Try to pop it like a zit lightly, then grab the little white tip with tweezer and you'll pull out a super fine twisted hair haha
My dad said “you should get outside and sweat more” cause that’s how that works. 🙄
@@katiejohnson2642 listen to your dad, when I sweat a lot from the gym it helps with my issues. It's good to get the skin pushing water & salt out sometimes!
Love that you two took the time to explain the why! This skin condition is the bane of my existence
I LOVE that you include the why's in your videos! I mean, that's the fun part, isn't it 😅 I'm always searching for the "why" for a greater understanding. In everything!! Thank you guys for all the knowledge 🥰
Guys I have this all over my legs and guess what I do , wear, shorts, dress skirts, and not give a single 🦆 what anyone thinks! Wear whatever you want people , life’s to short !!!
well said!! ❤❤
Yes , that’s how I look at it
U didn’t stutter😄
Of only I had your confidence
@@MiriamMartinez-zs5tt Same! Here in my country jeez people are so effin judgemental. I swear its so bad. I hate summers coz no matter how it is I never wore sleeveless.
I hate that there's no cure for this stupid condition tbh. I can use all the products and get it to go away, but it always comes back as soon as you stop. Drives me batshit.
I totally feel you! this driving you batshit crazy is so understandable! I don’t know how long you’ve been dealing with it but just know I totally get you.
I know this deviates from the point you were making haha but what products do you use?
@@jackscott4829 Honestly the best one-product treatment I've found for it is the Lush Buffy Body Bar, but it's expensive for how fast you go through it.
@@cassiel2632 Thanks! I'll add it to my never-ending list of products to try for my KP lol. If heaven is real I'm gonna ask god why he decided to make this stupid fucking thing part of the human experience.
I had them on my legs but they slowly disappeared when I started using this IPL laser hair removal device I recived for Christmas.
The part explaining "why" is actually the most precious part to us as well, so keep going, it's perfect❤
Thank you so much! I've had this all my life and no one has ever answered this so clearly!
“It bugs the heck out of some people”
I grew up with the condition. It “bothered the heck out of me” because my mother and other family and friends seemed to have perfectly smooth skin on their arms, yet I had these weird bumps. Like why is it here? Clearly it’s not normal if others around me don’t seem to have it. I didn’t like rubbing my arms only to feel those bumps and not the smoothness I thought should have been there.
I'm 53. I had this since I was about 15 years old and it disappeared about one month after giving up dairy 4 years ago. I had accepted that it would be there for life. It hasn't returned.
@@JoeRivermanSongwriter wow! I’ve heard that eliminating dairy can help with acne, but I didn’t think it could help with KP. Thanks for sharing your experience!
@@lenaramos8533 indeed. Dairy is for the calf by nature. It's horrible for our human bodies.
I'm old and I wish I knew and had proper information when I was much younger. Dairy is scary, but it made to be addictive and tasty. It's a multi-billion dollar business. It's so unbelievable once I did a deep dive on the subject.
Sorry for my long comment.
@@tanyaflynn4908 I'm vegan and it's unbelievable how many people think that it's natural for humans to drink cow milk. Cow milk is for calves. What most people think of as milk is really just a cow's breast milk. It's not for people. This is without even getting into how dairy farmers treat the cows :(
same
Love understanding the "why" behind your recommendations!
I'm so glad you made this video. I appreciate the explanation and the product recommendations. You guys are fun!
omg I just found this channel and this is such a chill vibe. Thanks for talking about the cause of this! I've always been worried that my diet was somehow to blame (which confused me since I eat pretty well), but knowing that it's mostly genetic makes me feel better. Thanks :)
You’re tiktok page is amazing lol and honestly thank you so much for breaking this down and explaining to us what kp is and why it’s formed and how to treat it. Honestly people would pay hundreds to just get it checked by a dermatologist and here you are trying to help people for free! I appreciate it so much! Thank you ♥️
I LOVE that you educate before giving product recommendations. That's what differentiates your channel from the million other product review/recommendation channels out there. Please keep it up!
Absolutely! How can you get yourself good products if you don't know what's going on!
“I love the why” so to be where I started my research 🧐
Love that I found these guys!
Can't wait for the recommendations...so happy that at least two products I use or recommend are mentioned, on average:)
Love the science portion of the videos. Defiantly keep them in!
I love how they explain everything on this channel! It makes me more eager to learn and understand skin conditions + treatments (especially the scientific explanations)! Thank you for making these videos!💞💞
Thank you guys for making these videos. I have wondered my whole life why I have such rough skin and strawberry legs. I appreciate knowing what is is, and products that could possibly help. People on social media, especially UA-cam tend to make informational videos with information that is not even remotely correct. However it will get them a lot of views. I appreciate actual medical professionals providing education and accurate information that I can trust. So thank you again.
you are a lifesaver, sincerely I have a deep respect for you guys! thank you!!!
I've been growing up with KP without knowing what it was. It really developed on my legs when I hit puberty and started to appear on my arms in my early 20s, too, and as a girl, it really affected my self-esteem since I felt and honesty still feel like I can't wear anything short because of all these red bumps. I'm 26 now. I'm a rather pale person, too, so they really stick out...
In the last 10 years I've been to several dermatologists and none could help me, telling me it's hormonal, it's my skin being irritated by jeans, it's me being overweight (even though, I only got like 10kg extra since I have an underactive thyroid), etc.
So, your video getting randomly recommended to me, was and is a real life saver for me. Finally, I know and understand what causes my skin to look like this. And I just wanted to say you thank you so so so so SO much!!
I think hormones do play a part in it…here after having a baby and mine got so much worse!
I just had to reach out and say I struggle too! I’m 27 and I always heard it was supposed to suppress in our adult years. My arms are okay. My legs are BAD! My aunt had the same thing (queue the genetics) and she got laser and it went away completely. And hers were so bad that they weren’t red, they were BLACK! Her hairs were just so dark. These Drs are correct, but it’s so exhausting having to use so many products to keep a continuous result. They work. But I’m lazy and I can’t seem to keep up. That’s my main problem with KP. It’s incurable so it’s a lifelong stress of being consistent. Anyway, I only said anything to make another sufferer of KP to feel like they aren’t alone ❤️
@@kelseystitt3828 Hormones play a part in everything whether we like it or not xd!
I'm 30 and I really feel you. My legs and arms are bad and my skin is pale too. And as the 2 doctors said my kp overlaps with an atopic skin. It's just so annoying and bad looking...
@@skylerleigh6649 I'm lazy too, my biggest problem for everything that concerns my skin, I feel you. 🙈
I've covered up in cardigans and long sleeved everything for YEARS! So chuffed I found this video! Thank you 🙌
21 years using products and my dermatologist not having an idea what I had, and I started using AmLactin from a video on your tik Tok and it has HAS HELPED so much !!!! :)
Thanks for this very helpful video. Trying to help my teen daughter with KP and the science of the condition and visuals are very helpful! Will try some of the suggested products…thank you for explaining how the products work on the condition. 😊
As a medical esthetics and formulation student, my favorite part of your videos is the science behind the condition! I want to hear the Latin name, the translation, the images of the condition, the ingredients that help, and of course, product recommendations. I’m here for it all.
Fellow MD here (pediatrician), love your style and ease in explaining medical concepts. I also spend a lot of time addressing KP in my patients (hard for parents to often see in little ones expected to have flawless baby skin, they always assume it’s “allergic” and expect a work up.). I find addressing “why” is the key to understanding the “what” we do next. You guys are great! Keep up the great work ☺️
They said it appears on adults and teenagers but my 2 year old has had KP for at least 6m now. Being a pediatrician, do you suggest following their advice for my 2yr old?
Agreed. Urgent care/ER pediatric NP here. Similar experiences with it--in that parents assume it's allergic in nature. This video will be in my recommendations for them. Thanks guys!
Saw the reel on Instagram and that brought me to this video! I have them on my upper thighs and didn’t think there was anything to treat it until I found you guys!! So excited to try these products out!! Thank you!!
Keep us updated!
Literally SO GRATEFUL i found this out at 21. Ive been doing research for awhile but i guess it wasnt enough. Working on my skin has never been so easy to understand now. Im so happy there are drs that finally share the knowledge about skin problems
I went to a dermatologist at 16 and they didnt tell me crap and instead wanted to pay me 200 every week to be used as a Guinea pig for new skin products to be fda approved
Thanks guys! The “why” is ridiculously important and much appreciated
Thank you so dang much for making this video ! Also the “why” is what gives you credibility! So keep it up! Here for all the whys !!!!
You guys explaining the - why - and not just say: "use it because I say so" is actually the main reason why I now watch YOU before trying out things I clearly know nothing about. Why bother losing money in mistakes that could potentially harm me when I can sit, relax and enjoy a very perfect skincare class (learning, honesty & humor! Perfect combination!), knowing I will then take a much better decision on what to try or not.
You really are amazing teachers, keep the whys coming! (it is totally my favorite word I❤️WHYS!) 👍🏼👍🏼 😁
I have had this for years now and NEVER knew what it was until recently!! Thank you for the info and product recommendations!! I will be hitting the store tonight.
Love the why and the explanations. Thank you x
I definitely didn’t forward video to products. You don’t know how much this means to me and finally I got some answers. Thank you for the educational background, many people told me there’s no solution but this really helped so thank You!!!
Thanks guys! I actually watched the entire video and didn't skip, I was interested in the WHY, and was "moved" to stay and watch 🤔!!!! I've been suffering with this since childhood saw you guys on Instagram 🙏🙏
Thank you for this video. I've been stuck with this my whole life and I'm trying to treat it now as an adult, so this helps immensely!
I love you guys and this is what I need dermatologists they really don't care unless you've got something serious going on but a lot of us just have like regular skin problems that stress us out and so I love you guys I'll watchyour whole videos You guys have helped me more than any dermatologist I've seen so far
I live for the why's! Keep these coming!! 🤩
Dr. Maxfield is actually my dermatologist, he has done wonders for my KP, night and day difference. Will be checking out your other videos. Thank you for everything you do.
What do you use?
Thank ya'll so much for the explanations of why? That is what keeps me coming back to your videos!
I really like the why explanation! I really appreciate it!
I don't have tiktok nor care to have one. So I am glad you have a youtube channel to educate.
Give it a try
Just deleted it a couple of months ago and it was genuinely one of the best decisions of not *the best, so far this year
Same!!
Me too girl 🙌
So glad this popped up. I have both KP and eczema. I think it's so bothersome because smooth skin is just more attractive. The redness doesn't bother me near as much as the bumpiness/roughness. I loved hearing the information and listened all the way to the end! Thank you 💛
Thank you so much! Can’t wait to give these a try! You guys always rock! 😃
Thank you thank you!! I’m so excited to try some of these for my children. Both my 14 and 15 year olds have had this since around age 5, and we have tried some things with no real help. Neither of them like to show their skin now and I feel so bad for them. I know where I’ll be headed tomorrow! Again, thank you 🙏🏼
I care about the why behind pathology and treatment! I appreciate how thorough you guys are. I have recently discovered your channel, and I love it!
Could you do a video on Hidradenitis suppurativa?
I appreciate the first seven minutes of explanation. As a medical student I think is really great the way you summarize the pathophysiology and best evidence of treatment, wish you guys were my dermatology professors kkkkk
Thank you all so much for talking about this condition and recommending treatment options!
wow, i never knew there was a way to treat this, thank you both!! i love learning about the WHY.
Thank you so much for this! I have had this my whole life and always wondered what it was. I am not super insecure about it which I am grateful for, but still want it gone! Thanks for the help!
I love how you guys are so down to earth.
Love you guys. Thank you so much for sharing the WHY. Keep up the good work and God bless.
You gentlemen are very kind and what you suggested were really useful. Thank you for this quality content. :)
Thanks for all the informative videos especially the recommendations. Love the Cerave SA cream & the Cerave psoriasis cream.
O'Keefe's Rough & Red Relief helps pretty well in my personal experience.
Thank you for entertaining 🥳
& educating me simultaneously…
you add such immense value 🙏
Brilliant-♥️♥️♥️ you both!
Being in healthcare I never really knew what to recommend. Now I know I can refer to your video, thank you so much for this video!
My daughters doctor said it was just bumps... Well, thank you gentlemen for pointing out what it really is, now hopefully my girl wont be so insecure
Same here, I have it and my son does too. I'm glad I'll be able to show him how to take care if his arms.

@@hazyhazy8435same..My mom just saying it will be okay,it will be gone😒
My daughters pediatrician recommended Cerave SA lotion for rough and bumpy skin I just bought it for her also with the soap 🤞 hoping it works.
My husband would always comment to me that the softest part of my skin was my inner thighs, that’s the only place I didn’t have KP, l was 23 at that time, I was so self conscious about my skin for over 40 years until I accidentally ran into dr Dray video on KP 3 years ago, she recommended cream which changed my skin to baby soft all over my body, my husband now says he can’t believe how soft my skin is at age 60, I think I was the person who asked you to do a video about KP, thank you so much, I had tears in my eyes watching this, because so many people have it, hopefully they will take your recommendations, it has changed my life😌
Can I ask what you used too help? ❤❤❤
Eucerin rapid relief
How long did you use it to see visible changes?
@@yaminimdev9648 I also went and got Eucerin intensive repair it has AHA in it and already within 3 days they going away! Definitely worth while! ❤
@@ambilove6727 oh that's great! Thank you😊
I make my own skincare products and I wanted to make something to address this for years, and thanks to your video now I can!
Thank a lot your videos are amazing and I feel like they really empowered me to do a better job and raised my quality of living
Thank you, doctors. The info you share before product recommendations are very much appreciated. Some of us would like to know the "why" of things.
I have had this my entire life or ever since I can remember and i’ve never known what it was. I’ve been to the doctors many times and never got answers i’m shook omg
I’ve been so insecure of this my entire life and I could never figure out what it was because when you google it this isn’t something that pops up for me or pictures so I could never match it to any pictures. I literally came across this in TikTok and I’m so happy I did and yes I did watch the whole thing haha
Really happy I found this video. My skin on my body has been smooth all my life up until a year ago i noticed i had some bumps on my arms and even when i use scrubs they would work temporarily and then come back. Glad to know it's not just me and it can be treated.
Thanks so much! These videos have helped me understand a lot of my skin issues.
Thank you for the “WHY”
I’m pretty thankful to my mom for taking care of my extremely bad KP for as long as I remember. It was definitely a lot of effort as she would have to scrub and try new creams on me to see what would work. And it was definitely difficult cause i was an rambunctious toddler.
Now I have a routine of my own, I use the first aid beauty bump eraser scrub twice a week and in between I’d use a Korean exfoliating glove. Works great since I’m not letting the build get really bad often.
Thank you for doing this video. Great knowledge. Love the why.
I love you guys!!! Yall are such a blessing
This was incredibly informative and helpful! I have KP and I've been using Amlactin for a year and have noticed a HUGE difference in my skin. My skin has never been so soft in my life! Yes, the smell is off putting, but after it sets in your skin you can't smell it anymore. It's 100% worth it! I ordered the KP duty scrub I can't wait to add it to my routine. 😊😊
Does it help with scarring?
Lac-hydrin (same thing) honestly stinks too much
Hi I’m in 1 week using Amlactin 12% lactic. I apply it once everyday. First few applications, I didn’t have any reaction but then Ive started to get red, irritated and itchy bumps here and there whenever I lather it on. Idk if I’m getting allergy or just over exfoliating symptoms. If anyone have the same problem please help me out 😢
I had to stop using Amlactin because my cat would lick it off my arms!
maybe for summer i can actually show my arms without having a long sleeve or sweater on
Wow my entire life
Same
Ugh I know that feeling. Worse is summer here is almost 6mos and no matter how hot it is here, i Just wont wear sleveless coz people here are so effin gonna stare and ask.
Me I can even enjoy my summer and I hate having long sleeves everywhere every time
I've had this my entire life, and had no idea there were treatments for this. I don't mind having it on my arms, but this is very informative and might give this a try!
I loooove the “why” and never skip it! Always keep the why!! ❤️❤️
A massive THANK YOU to Dr. Maxfield and Dr. Shah! I have tried tons of different remedies and ingredients for my stubborn, persistent KP (including most of the treatments mentioned in this video) and nothing has done much more than temporarily soften my skin. I added the CeraVe Psoriasis Moisturizing Cream into my routine about a month ago and I have seen incredible improvements in the hyperpigmentation and texture of my skin. Seriously a game changer for hard to treat cases of KP. Again, thanks for that exclusive!
I sprinkle a little baking soda on a soapy washcloth and scrub my arms in a circular motion for smooth skin. Scrubbing gently and for longer is better than scrubbing hard and fast. I always rinse well. I’ve had KP my whole life, and this is what finally gave me the results I was looking for. Been using this method for years, and I love my skin now. Hope this helps someone.
That was great advice and we'll said. Ty
That's what does it for me. I use a rough scrubby on my arms and legs, where the tiny red bumps are. As long as thoroughly scrub, the bumps stay gone.

Thanks for sharing.
I also noticed certain foods seem to help me, I wish the video might have suggested dietary advice instead of (somewhat expensive) products to purchase.
My arms are my biggest insecurities ever. I hate them so much and to cope with it I pick at my arms making it worse and leaving scars. Thank you for making this!
Thx for all the help you guys give.
Thank you so much for discussing this issue. When I first noticed the standard KP red bumps all over my thighs, I thought I was having an allergic reaction to a new product or something. I ended up figuring out the KP diagnosis myself after a lot of elimination. At a physical with my doctor, he asked if I knew I had a skin condition - I'm like, "What? KP? Yeah, I've been treating that by myself forever." And after that, I think he stole my OTC ideas for products to tackle KP when used consistently. Lotions and creams in the foot aisle often contain decent percentages of urea and other acids so they are a cheap alternative to the "Rough and Bumpy Skin" products being sold with an upcharge. Gently exfoliate manually maybe 1-2 times a week... don't upset your skin any more than it already is. And always stay hydrated - use a lotion that doesn't irritate your skin (Like ones with fragrance really bother me) and provides excellent moisture retention so your skin can rest. This is what helped me - if these tips aren't up your alley...sorry, I reckon.
My dad had KP, so do I and my siblings. What I have noticed is when you live in a warmer weather with humidity it heals naturally but, it gets worse in cold and dry climate areas. I have lived with KP for almost 30 years of my life and it has completely healed on my arms, it's still there on my thighs and calves but definitely much less.
I was just recently diagnosed with KP by a dermatologist and I live in Florida 😭😭 i don’t think it heals in warmer weather because mine is still really bad
Yes, mine gets better in the summer as well. Would love for it to be healed all year around though.
I'm in the UK and for me it gets worse in Summer and is almost invisible in Autumn/Winter 🤷🏼♀️
That's crazy, mine gets horrible with the humidity. Cooler weather helps soo much cause I don't sweat out the moisturizers so it's easier to maintain the skin hydrated. And I am saying this because I like in Puerto Rico. Summer humidity doesn't treat KP nicely :/
I live in Florida and have KP. The weather has never made any difference on it.
To treat my KP, I like to use an inexpensive exfoliating body wash, such as Amazon Basics Clarifying Pink Grape Fruit Body Wash, as it contains 2% salycilic acid (a beta hydroxy acid that functions as a keratolytic agent and helps keep pores clear), with an exfoliating cloth/mitt to buff the skin (this action is known as mechanical exfoliation) and also the regular use of Alpha Skin Care Renewal Body Lotion, as it contains 12% glycolic acid (an alpha hydroxy acid that promotes cell turnover), to soften the bumps.
Applying the lotion immediately after showering at night is best.
⚠️ But one con of using an exfoliating lotion is that it makes the skin more vurnerable to the sun and one must use sunblock and avoid the sun like the plague.
Thank you guys!!! Watched all the way 😁
Thank you Drs for this video. My son is 11 and has KP on his arms pretty bad. Your suggestions for treatment works wonderfully. Thank you!! His arms look so much clearer and smoother with the cereve rough and bumpy moisturizer.
