@@Mojojojo_21 How do you know your vitamin D levels are good? Do you get adequate sun exposure every day? The other main cause is gluten, go gluten free for 30 days and report back here with results plz.
Very interesting video, thank you! In my late teens and early 20's, I had KP on my thighs and upper arms. No idea what they were at the time. But I went on a trip to Jamaica (not my first) and I decided that "this time" I would not use any toxic sunscreens on my skin, only virgin coconut oil. I never did any "sunbathing" (on purpose), I mostly stayed in the shade, except when I was in the water... and after 10 days, my KP was virtually gone (no sunburn, either) and has not come back since. That made me believe that it could've been caused by a vitamin D deficiency... yes, coconut oil and the salt water also probably helped!
I enjoyed your thoughts and I love how you essentially speak holistically🙌🏻 in my almost 4 decades I have helped my clients heal their skin by only holistic means. With keratosis I also teach my clients to exfoliate daily while they wash their bodies. I have them use a Body brush either to dry brush or apply their body wash to it. I also tell them to dry off soft, either using a sugar scrub ( not salt) before final rinse or an oil. A few other tricks are Head and shoulders in the dark blue bottle Monistat 7 classic for anti fungal And corn starch. I am going to add the cod liver oil. Thank you Dr B 🍑🙌🏻🧡Lisa
I don’t take vitamins so me having so many skin conditions doesn’t surprise me at all. I need to start taking care of my body. I have this and rosacea which are both skin conditions and clearly having a healthy diet helps so many people
The comments say gluten will worsen chicken skin. Suddenly, it seems like find a new continent. I remember I started to have these red bumps when I was a kid went to play in the chaff hill with pals. My parents took me to clinic but it cannot be cured. During that period, I remember my neighbor noticed my abnormal skin, but I was young and didn't take it seriously. Since then, my skin have never be normal. It gradually becomes noticeable to me. I n my adolescence, I hate it to death. Now I know the reason, the chaff is a trigger. I will stop eating gluten from now and observe. Thank your advice.
The best remedy for keratosis pilaris is cod liver oil. Cod liver oil: • Contains omega-3 fatty acids • Is great for the skin • Is anti-inflammatory • Supports blood sugar levels and reduces insulin • Contains vitamin A • Is a good source of vitamin D If you have keratosis pilaris, try consuming a high-quality cod liver oil. It's also essential to correct your diet by cutting out omega-6 fats and going on a low-carb diet. Managing your stress levels and improving your liver will also be beneficial.
Thank you Dr. Berg, my doctor gave me an expensive cream to apply 3 times a day- totally unsustainable! Can’t wait to add cod liver oil to my keto diet!
Sauna + Salt peeling+ Sun + uvea pealing +stress reduction + healthy food I notice it gets worse as my stress levels etc gets higher so it could be a form of autoimmune inflammation.
How much Cod Liver oil should you take everyday? Or should you eat it everyday since your body stores the vitamin D and slowly releases it when deficien? I've have been wondering about this ever since I started eating it to your advice for myself and for my almost 3 year old daughter.
I can tell you that I see great results with at least 2 cans of wild caught cod liver a week in summer and each can provides around 7 tablespoons of cod liver oil additionally to the liver piece.
I take a tablespoon every day following dinner. I take Norwegian, minimally processed, with lemon flavor. I just can’t do the unflavored. Plus my wife and I love seafood and eat it often. Icelandic CLO is also excellent.
Doctor, why didn't you tell me about this before? just kidding. I spent so much money trying to get keratosis under control. My arms looked really bad, I only wear long sleeves as result. I don't have a gallbladder, which I know now from your vids don't allow me to absorb vitamin A. From your videos (as well as Dr. Fung and Dr. Pradip), I started intermittent fasting and OMAD in January and noticed last week keratosis is diminishing finally. I no longer feel so much hunger, and when it comes I ignore it. I'm taking OX bile supplements to absorb A-D-K, feel and look better. I'm gonna try cod liver oil. Thanks so much, seriously thanks.
This will sound strange to some but mine on my legs went away completely once I got married and became sexually active. Testosterone to the female body has an impact... Even my mother would always tell me it will disappear once I get married... seems to be true... but now with contraception being used, this may hinder.
Can someone explain to me whether he refers to taking cad liver oil in the form of capsules or applying the oil directly to the areas affected by KP? 😊 thanks
Haha I’m sure he is growing a beard because HE likes it or wants to, good job he doesn’t care what you like or anyone else for that matter! Why do people think they have the right to judge someone else’s appearances and verbalise them?! Think what you like but to openly comment when your opinion is not even requested or warranted is laughable. Got any valuable comments in regards to the actual substance of his invaluable health information?! 🤷♀️
Guys ! this really works ! I tried everything but since minimising my carbs and taking loads of omega 3, my keratosis pilaris is all gone 99%. Seriously ! Loads of veggies as well. Good luck
I am from South Africa and I was struggling with that skin condition for 9 years. I have tried everything and nothing was working. I have followed your advice and it is gone 😭😭😭 you don’t understand how my skin condition almost destroyed my self confidence. Thank you.
Reasons : - Vitamin A deficiency - Androgens on the skin &insulin in the blood - Consuming a lot of Omega6 fatty acids - Astrogen dominance PERFECT Remedy : Cod Liver Oil Good source of vitamins A+D &anti-inflammatory
It works! I've tried everything over the years including dermatologist prescribed lotions, nothing worked. So with zero expectations, I started taking 1100 mg cod liver oil once a day and was surprised to see results in a week; at two weeks, the backs of my arms are completely clear and smooth! I'm totally amazed. Thank you Dr. Berg!
Same here I've been taking cod liver oil for a few weeks now and I can feel a difference in my skin. The back of my lower legs were the worst and used to get really itchy. What iu is yours?
My daughter had been suffering from these “bumps” for years. Had gone to a dermatologist and prescribed 2 different creams that were really caustic to her skin and did more harm than good. Stumbled upon your video about a month ago. She started the Cod Liver oil without much hope and within a week her “bumps” are almost gone! Absolutely crazy that her Pediatrician or Dermatologist wouldn’t have recommended this. So happy you did!
I lost the bumps with glycolic acid exfoliant and cerave body lotion, I saw this on a skin care channel here. Amazing, in 2 days the bumps were almost totally gone.
I've had this skin issue since I was a child. It would be on the back of my arms and all over my legs. It made me very self conscious as a teen because girls would make fun of how gross my legs looked. I knew shaving made my condition worse so I never shaved or used chemical shaving creams. Luckily I'm blonde so my hair isn't super obvious, but I remember growing up and believing I would never find someone who would love me because I couldn't make my legs smooth and pretty. Like the ONLY thing a guy cares about are baby butt smooth legs 😂
@night fall what type of brand were you using? Can it be over the counter or prescription? I have super dark hair and fair skin so it’s very obvious all over my legs. Please help!
I got my under control by the advice of skin nurse and doctor here on UA-cam. Exfoliate and use cerave the smothing cream . My skin is smooth. You can look at contents about such on UA-cam video you will find many help.
My KP magically dispeaaeared after being on keto for a few months. I scratched the back of my arm one day and it felt really smooth. I’ve had KP since I was in my 20s so it was an amazing surprise. I started keto to reverse NAFLD but it has cured my skin conditions and headaches. Amazing!
I had this and it really bothered me. The dermatologist gave me creams and things that never got rid of it. I started IF 2 months ago and eliminated all carbs and sugar and not only did this condition go away on the back of both of my arms, I had a toenail fungus on my big toe that happened when I injured my toe and this is also gone. Thank you Dr. Berg.
Whaaat? I’ve had this all my life. Got on IF, but they haven’t disappeared, though are reducing but not at the rate yours disappeared at. I’m shocked. Thanks for the info.
@@kasambakemarkachaka9319 I wasn’t even expecting this to clear up. I happened to notice my arms one day out of the shower and was shocked to see the bumps gone. Same with my toe. I had that fungus on my toe for a little over 7 years after I injured it pretty bad. And tried so many otc creams and anti fungals. It’s completely gone. I am more surprised than anyone.
Coconut Oil on the skin right after a shower works for me. After applying for about three days, I start to see a difference. I’m going to add the cod liver oil, (internally) etc.
I second this. I just recently started using coconut oil after showering and I noticed that my bumps are fading away so this works for me as well. I think it's the lactic acid in coconut oil that helps.
I have always wondered what those bumps were. I went to the doctor for it as a child and I was told I had sensitive skin and instructed to start using Neutrogena Soap. The bumps didn't go away. Meanwhile, about a year ago I discovered that if I put organic coconut oil on the area the bumps fade and after a couple of days of repeating after showering the bumps disappear completely.
I had KP on my arms for years, my family has it too however, mine is not as severe as my family members. What I noticed is this, improving my diet, higher protein intake, less junk food, etc have all made massive improvement to my KP on my arms. I also noticed that showering in very hot water aggregates my KP so I would make sure that when I'm taking hot showers, I would not let my KP come into contact with the hot water. Instead I would switch to cold water and use soap to wash my arms. I still have KP on my arm but it's not as bad. Previously I tried medication and many other options but none of them worked... I wasted hundreds of dollars doing this. Fixing diet, moisturizing and showering my KP areas with cold water are what worked for me. In short, 1. Diet ( less junk food, higher protein intake ) 2. No hot water showers on KP areas 3. Moisturizer. I use a simple water-based moisturizer called "Hada Labo" It's from Japan.
You should avoid hot water showers for the sake of your hair and all of your skin. Warm is much better. Also, coconut oil is superior to any kind of lotions or creams. Hope this helps! It did for me 😊
Dr. Berg, I remember when I began learning from you, back in 2017, you had said in a video that it would go away and for me it did go away. I began taking Cod Liver Oil capsules by Carlson within a couple of months after I began Keto/IF. Thank you.
Yes it is hereditary. I have it, my Mom has it and my grandfather has. I've just learned to live with but will definitely consider the information in this video.
Just a little suggestion. I am a holistic master esthetician of almost 4 decades and I agree with Dr B. I also have my Clients exfoliate daily by either dry brushing or using a body brush with their body wash in the shower. I then have them use a sugar scrub ( not salt) or an oil before drying off. A few other tips are head and shoulders in the dark blue bottle and applying Monistat 7 classic( yes it works, anti fungal) all of those and diet have helped my clients get rid of Keratosis Pilaris completely. Many times the skin being thick or calloused is also an issue and or we have activated or left an opening for the natural fungus and bacteria on our skin. Just some extra skin love. Blessings to all of you 🍑🙌🏻🧡Lisa
You are absolutely right, my mom has them, i have them and one of my daughters now too. I actually thought everybody has them, that it was a normal thing.
I've had that my whole life. Used powered soaps, luffas and scrubs and never seemed to help. I went on a clean keto diet a year ago and realized a few months back that I don't have the red bumps on every pore on my thighs or arms anymore. I figured my diet did it, but now I know why. Thanks Dr. Berg
I used to be so embarrassed to wear short sleeves because of this and a bad habit of picking at them would leave some scabs or scar's. Thank you so much for this information! ☺️
I tried so many things, expensive products too. Only one thing helped me. Wishing a few day my skin was so smooth, I couldn't believe it. OLIVE OIL! after you shower, moisturize your damp (not wet) skin with olive oil. It will be gone and you will thank me.
@@csabo1725 Whether he’s a doctor or a elementary school janitor, the truth shared is based in science & factual. Don’t believe me, research his claims and test the remedies for yourself.
Quitting dairy was one thing that worked for me. All the expensive Rx creams, scrubs did nothing but aggravate it. I only use Nivea to moisturize but it’s completely clear since I changed my diet almost 10 years ago!
I have struggled with this condition for years. I feel like I’ve tried everything. Taking a Vitamin A supplement didn’t work because of my fatty liver. I started taking 500mg of TUDCA (liver cleanser) in the morning, and only then did the Vitamin A make any difference. I would estimate an 80% reduction in bumps. Give it a try is Vitamin A alone isn’t working.
I had this as a kid until I was in my late 20’s - early 30’s. I remember my doctor told me to use Am-Lactin. That didn’t help. Exfoliating didn’t help. I finally just grew out of it.
I’ve had this my entire life and in certain seasons it gets worse. It also got worse with all 4 of my pregnancies and the doctors told me it was not related to my hormones but I knew this wasn’t right. This has the best info I’ve seen on my many years of looking for answers to heal this issue instead of just trying to mask it or fix it from the outside. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Same!!! Holding my newborn and watching this like… wth do I do about my KP bumps?!? Cod liver fish oil on the way!! Also going to eat the diet you suggested. Thank you my good man!!
@@yujyuj2957 i dont know. Doctor prescribed me against protozoans. There might a lot of them if you never received treatment throughout your life. Most probably you have them too. Ask you doctor.
Keto promotes quite a bit of intermittent fasting as well as other fasting. So I wonder how can a person eat enough foods to consume adequate vitamins and minerals? Can you realistically get the levels needed in one or two meals per day? How much food do we have to eat in one sitting? I can't physically eat a mile high salad. I'll throw up 😝 So do we have to live taking a boatload of supplements bc we are fasting our life away? Can't have it both ways. We either eat our vitamins and minerals or we take supplements. So we pig out in one or two sittings? I sure miss the days we had wonderful large family gatherings and eating was fun, rewarding and happy. We enjoyed our food not having to think I can't eat this or that bc its not keto omg! Now eating is joyless. Just a constant medical experiment at best. Torturous work at worst. Ay vey! Food is medicine indeed. And taking medicine is not fun or yummy. Just saying. Got to be a better way to live.
I believe part of the problem today is all of the additives to our foods, especially grains. I try to focus on eating twice a day and opt for protein, fat, and veggies (Whole Foods) while not completely cutting out grains and pastas. I know that I would lose weight faster on keto, but this has been a sustainable way for me to eat, slowly lose weight, feel loads better and still enjoy eating with friends and family without obsessing over what I’m eating.
I'm 35 years old now and I already had this skin condition since I was a child (always thought it's genetic since my mother and my brother have the same condition). In the past I got some lotions from dermatologists, but nothing was a game changer. Some years ago I drastically reduced gluten because of stomach problems and the crazy side effect was, that I had clear skin on my arms after 3 weeks of diet. I also suffer from PCOS and insulin resistance and now I wonder if I've had insulin problems in my childhood already.
I have PCOS too and I believe I have insulin problem too. My mom is diabetic, so I think I am pre diabetic. 😔 I also have obesity, I cut down a lot of food and I don’t drink milk for 5+ years I also don’t eat bread. I have sensitive stomach so I can’t have fast food often. The reason behind my skin is mostly due to emotional stress, high insulin and obesity. I walk a lot, go to the gym which I started 3 months ago, and I have been on diet control for 5 months.
I’ve been having this problem since I was little. It’s on the back of my arm and my legs. I always thought it was genetic since my mom also had it. This is exactly what I need right now. I've just placed an order, I’m hoping it can help turn my life around and make me feel better about my skin.
Using a loofah while showering and glycerine after has worked for me. Also lactic acid containing moisturizer. Going low carb also helped bc those dotted raised bumps are flat and less conspicuous now.
I scrubbed away with the loofah like no tomorrow when I was younger because I was so fed up with this LOL, now it's very mild and I take one Omega 3 fish oil daily which has helped lots with my skin...maybe I'll try what he suggests too, I also use an exfoliating glove and a good body scrub (Hempz) now.
Loofahs hold onto germs and bacteria, they are dirty after the first use. A more hygienic way to clean yourself is with a freshly laundered washcloth. How can you be clean when you’re using something that was all over your dirty body yesterday and the day before and the day before.
Good Morning , Dr.Berg 🦋 Thank you so much for sharing this interesting information and great advice with everybody ! May God always take good care you , Take Care . 🙏 3 / 10 / 2022 🙏
To all the remedies mentioned by Dr. Berg, I would strongly recommend adding vitamin K2 supplements to the regime, for me it was the most significant factor in reducing KP by 80 percent. I took atleast 100 mcg a day, plus I stopped using body washes that contain soap, since in contact with the hard water in my area it was causing cloged pores on the back of the arms and back, which would lead to more dry skin, folliculits and scabs.
Oh my God!! It is as if you read my mind Dr. Berg I was thinking about asking you regarding this KP. I opened youtube to ask you and viola! You already uploaded the video an hour ago 😄
I think all my life I’ve had KP. In the last 8 months though, I have been eating worse than ever in my life, and I noticed increasingly that my skin will get stand-alone big, red, Itchy bumps…I have also noticed that my butt and lower back have larger red pores clusters than before, is this still KP or has diet made my KP worse?
Wow I’ve looked for this theme, always been wondering what is behind my KP, it gets worse every day. I’ve tried many types of skin care products but nothing ever worked. Even the Google never had a clear information about it. Thank you Dr. for bringing that out. This video just saved me. Keep up with these kind of great videos. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
When I started keto a lot of things got better and one of them was these goose bumps on my skin. It took a few months but my skin felt really soft. I got sidelined by bad advice and entered a long period of really dirty keto and one of the first things to come back was the skin problems and bleeding gums. It took me more than a year to realise I need fat in my diet to keep the carbs away. Still working on it. Great video. And thanks for another video in which you said to always eat at least 75 grams of fat a day. It helped me to refocus.
My parents took me to a dermatologist when I was a young child. He said it is blocked hair ducts and recommended exfoliating and moisturiser 2 times a day. I did notice in the summer at the beach and river trips it cleared a little. But I’m 52 and still have this.
In the Netherlands we eat a lot of dairy products. And 50% of this condition is from eating to much dairy. So stop eating yogurt and cheese etc. And you will see that it goes away as snow in front of the sun ☺️
I feel like yogurt and cheese are good things. Both are cultured dairy products so they're better than straight up milk. Cheese has CLA, lots of protein and fat and minimal carbs. Yogurt has been shown to be good for the gut microbiome, I think it was like the only truly prebiotic food if I recall correctly
I’ve been taking 1 tsp of high quality cod liver oil for over 2 months to address my KP and have seen little to no improvement. It may work for others, but it hasn’t yet worked for me.
I have that and also fatty liver from eating too much carbs but I’m not fat. Too many toxins in my body .I have all the symptoms he mentioned. His explanation is spot on !
"if you´re vegan and trying to get the Vitamin A from vegetable sources...good luck with that that"?! ...that is a very scientific, and constructive approach. 🙃 you can, actually, according to the current state of scientific research, convert enough betacarotin into Vit A to reach the recommended level. Unless you have a very high percentage of malabsorption.
OMG!!!!!!!! Yaaaaaaaasssss finally information about this topic!!!! I suffer severely from KP and no dermatologist can seem to help me 😓 I have depression because I hate my skin and I feel ugly
I had chicken skin, I always thought the product that I used for shaving caused the problem and I had to use clindamycin to prevent ,but ever since I am on keto, it is almost 3.5 months, It's gone, thank you 🥺♥️
So... too much mental stress, basically high testosterone, eating too often (stress eating) and too much (fatty liver... from stress eating), and also just... more dark thick body hair (which means generally more keratin)... So... all of the problems that went away or got reduced when coming out as trans and getting on HRT... welp, that explains why it got better
I was developing the Keratosis on my arms and one leg. So, at Dr. Berg's suggestion, I started taking cod liver oil tablets. It didn't happen immediately, but rather, it took a few weeks. But eventually, it started clearing up. Cod liver oil seems to have worked like a dream for me. 🙂
@@emanghazal7496 It's gone away, but I've continued to take the cod liver oil. My parents grew up at a time (during the 1940s) when they were given a spoonful of cod liver oil every week. So, there's definitely something in the virtues of cod liver oil. I can't remember exactly how long it took. But I'd guess at maybe two to three weeks. At any rate, it's still gone. I take two caplets every day, each having 550 mg of cod liver oil and 400 IU of vitamin D3. Hope that helps! 🙂
My daughter 11 yr old and me both have the same condition. Recently i started supplementing her with vegan EPA &DHA and her condition has totally subsided while mine remains . I started on DIM and eating a whole raw carrot daily without fail, for estrogen dominance a while ago and i can really see some difference .
I have been battling KP for 40+ years. The only thing that has kept it at bay is Tretinoin .05%, but if I don't apply it for more than a day, my arms begin to break out again. Thank you, Dr. Berg. None of my Dr.'s have ever explained the root causes of KP. I am going out tomorrow to purchase cod liver oil!
Dr. Berg pl make a video on about symptoms of low estrogen at age of only 32 female, when body look like estrogen dominant but vaginal dryness and some mix of symptoms going Don't understand what to do
Has anyone taken cod Liver oil and noticed it does have an effect on Ketosis Pilaris? I have taken Vit.A as capsules, it didn´t make any noticeable diffrence. The only thng that helped me was cream, triple a day and sorry but doing this every day...no! Also it was with urea 20%!!And still it wasn´t enough.
To add I also have just reached 100 (top of safe on bloodwok) on Vitamin D. Ihad been taking 10,000 units a day for 3 years. So that's not helping either. Maybe we need to do all of these things to make it better.
I use a Japanese exfoliating sponge to shower and use a 12% lactic acid lotion. I no longer have it. I now have the smoothest skin. But one time the lotion got sold out and had to go without if for a month. The condition came back so I am very dependent on the sponge and the lotion.
I’m suffering from this sickness long time, tried so many creams , still changes nothing! I will try your method Doc ! I will post back the results...thanks
Huh.... Interesting! I'm a breast cancer survivor taking Tamoxifen daily and Goserelin depot injections every 4 weeks. I had some bumps before chemo which I kept under control with an exfoliation and moisturising regime, but when my hair started growing back, the Keratosis Pilaris came back with a vengeance, even spreading to my forearms and thighs, and it's not responding to my previous regime. Could it be that the hormone therapy is raising my Androgen levels? I'll give the cod liver oil a go too.
Sigh I wanna get rid of it. Waxing, shaving it's stressful . Not sure what to do anymore. Just happy it's not as visible but when I touch my arm you can feel it
I have had this issue since I was about 11. It's all over my legs, arms, sides etc. It got worse over the years. On top of it, I have ingrown hair. My body hair would be curly, but can not longer even see most of the hair on my arms bcuz of this skin condition, it makes it harder for my curly body hair to grow. End up with insane amount of ingrown hair. It has really brought down my quality of life. I could go into all the details of why, but instead, I just want to say THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! If this works for me, this will literally change my life!!!
Thank you so much Dr Berg! I struggled with KP for so long. I followed this vid immediately and I’m already seeing results after 1 week. Unfortunately I picked at the bumps out of desperation/frustration for so long and left scars. I am using vitamin E atm (from ur acne scar vid) and I was wondering if u might have any other additional tips to help with scars. Thank you so much! I look forward to all of your vids. 🤗
hey you should try glycol acid peeling solution the ordinary do one its red...also Niacinamide and zinc solution by the Ordinary might help with acne scars x

Hi, thank you so much for this information! I’m hoping it may help my daughter. Do you put the cod liver oil directly on the skin?
The best remedy for keratosis pilaris is cod liver oil. Cod liver oil: • Contains omega-3 fatty acids • Is great for the skin • Is anti-inflammatory • Supports blood sugar levels and reduces insulin • Contains vitamin A • Is a good source of vitamin D If you have keratosis pilaris, try consuming a high-quality cod liver oil. It's also essential to correct your diet by cutting out omega-6 fats and going on a low-carb diet. Managing your stress levels and improving your liver will also be beneficial.
Thank you Dr. Berg, my doctor gave me an expensive cream to apply 3 times a day- totally unsustainable! Can’t wait to add cod liver oil to my keto diet!
how is your condition now?
Wow, I had no idea what it was! Your videos are extremely helpful!
Glad to help!

How much Cod Liver oil should you take everyday? Or should you eat it everyday since your body stores the vitamin D and slowly releases it when deficien? I've have been wondering about this ever since I started eating it to your advice for myself and for my almost 3 year old daughter.
I can tell you that I see great results with at least 2 cans of wild caught cod liver a week in summer and each can provides around 7 tablespoons of cod liver oil additionally to the liver piece.
I take a tablespoon every day following dinner. I take Norwegian, minimally processed, with lemon flavor. I just can’t do the unflavored. Plus my wife and I love seafood and eat it often. Icelandic CLO is also excellent.
Doctor, why didn't you tell me about this before? just kidding. I spent so much money trying to get keratosis under control. My arms looked really bad, I only wear long sleeves as result. I don't have a gallbladder, which I know now from your vids don't allow me to absorb vitamin A. From your videos (as well as Dr. Fung and Dr. Pradip), I started intermittent fasting and OMAD in January and noticed last week keratosis is diminishing finally. I no longer feel so much hunger, and when it comes I ignore it. I'm taking OX bile supplements to absorb A-D-K, feel and look better. I'm gonna try cod liver oil. Thanks so much, seriously thanks.
This will sound strange to some but mine on my legs went away completely once I got married and became sexually active. Testosterone to the female body has an impact... Even my mother would always tell me it will disappear once I get married... seems to be true... but now with contraception being used, this may hinder.
dr berg, your cod liver oil capsules, what kind of gelatine do they contain?
One of my naturepath dr.s said it was a sympton of malnutrition. Does that apply to your knowledge?
Yes, that’s what he is explaining in his video.
Could good quality flaxseed oil have a similar level of benefit?
Tried Code liver oil for half a year, no improvement.
Can someone explain to me whether he refers to taking cad liver oil in the form of capsules or applying the oil directly to the areas affected by KP? 😊 thanks
So if I start taking the cod liver oil does that mean I should still taking the regular fish oil supplement? Or should I take both?
Thank you, Dr. Berg.
You are very welcome.
I have it in my lap/chest area. I confess that it bothers me a lot, but I have never found a treatment that eradicates it.

How many mg of COD liver or fish oil?
But I don't like fish
I am from South Africa and I was struggling with that skin condition for 9 years. I have tried everything and nothing was working. I have followed your advice and it is gone 😭😭😭 you don’t understand how my skin condition almost destroyed my self confidence. Thank you.
What was your regimen? What brand??
Reasons :
- Vitamin A deficiency
- Androgens on the skin &insulin in the blood
- Consuming a lot of Omega6 fatty acids
- Astrogen dominance

I had them on the back of my arm since I was a kid…I got rid of them by removing gluten! I haven’t had them for 3 years now 🙌
Same here. Also rosacea went away. Grains seem to inflame both very quickly.
Same here
That's most likely because the inflammation reaction in your gut had been using up your vitamin A!
How long it took to go away?
Same!!
It works! I've tried everything over the years including dermatologist prescribed lotions, nothing worked. So with zero expectations, I started taking 1100 mg cod liver oil once a day and was surprised to see results in a week; at two weeks, the backs of my arms are completely clear and smooth! I'm totally amazed. Thank you Dr. Berg!
What brand?
Same here I've been taking cod liver oil for a few weeks now and I can feel a difference in my skin. The back of my lower legs were the worst and used to get really itchy. What iu is yours?
@Grey_Wind were you take it as a supplement or as oil?
@@waleeddish supplement tablets yeah
do i eat it or what?
Hi Dr. Berg…CAN YOU PLEASE DO A VIDEO ON SEBORREIC KERATOSIS?…that would be wonderful!!!
Interesting that I developed this during the decline of my marriage and divorce and it went away afterwards.
My daughter had been suffering from these “bumps” for years. Had gone to a dermatologist and prescribed 2 different creams that were really caustic to her skin and did more harm than good. Stumbled upon your video about a month ago. She started the Cod Liver oil without much hope and within a week her “bumps” are almost gone! Absolutely crazy that her Pediatrician or Dermatologist wouldn’t have recommended this. So happy you did!
I lost the bumps with glycolic acid exfoliant and cerave body lotion, I saw this on a skin care channel here. Amazing, in 2 days the bumps were almost totally gone.
what also causes them to disappear is decent amounts of sunlight, for whatever reason
How much cod liver oil did she take
@@mysterical- she takes 1 pill twice a day. Additionally she exfoliates and uses lotion. But the cod liver has been amazing for her!
@@shellynodes1342 the amount of omega 3 in pills vary though. 🤔 How much omega 3 does 1 pill contain?
I've had this skin issue since I was a child. It would be on the back of my arms and all over my legs. It made me very self conscious as a teen because girls would make fun of how gross my legs looked. I knew shaving made my condition worse so I never shaved or used chemical shaving creams. Luckily I'm blonde so my hair isn't super obvious, but I remember growing up and believing I would never find someone who would love me because I couldn't make my legs smooth and pretty. Like the ONLY thing a guy cares about are baby butt smooth legs 😂
Godbless you !
@night fall so you mean vitamin a did work with you right?
@night fall what type of brand were you using? Can it be over the counter or prescription? I have super dark hair and fair skin so it’s very obvious all over my legs. Please help!
I got my under control by the advice of skin nurse and doctor here on UA-cam. Exfoliate and use cerave the smothing cream . My skin is smooth. You can look at contents about such on UA-cam video you will find many help.
So same! Still I'm kinda embarrassed, but not caring so much
My KP magically dispeaaeared after being on keto for a few months. I scratched the back of my arm one day and it felt really smooth. I’ve had KP since I was in my 20s so it was an amazing surprise. I started keto to reverse NAFLD but it has cured my skin conditions and headaches. Amazing!
That's amazing thank you for sharing.
Mine disappeared once (but now I have it back) I mean no bumps but it it left dark spots. What about yours?
Super 👍 thank you so much for sharing.
Correlation ≠ causation but I’m glad it’s gone for you
I'm on Keto. Have a regular period for the first time in my life. Haven't noticed KP change yet but look forward to it!!
I had this and it really bothered me. The dermatologist gave me creams and things that never got rid of it. I started IF 2 months ago and eliminated all carbs and sugar and not only did this condition go away on the back of both of my arms, I had a toenail fungus on my big toe that happened when I injured my toe and this is also gone. Thank you Dr. Berg.
So cool 👍 thank you for sharing!
Whaaat? I’ve had this all my life. Got on IF, but they haven’t disappeared, though are reducing but not at the rate yours disappeared at. I’m shocked. Thanks for the info.
What helped me is having enough sun exposure and taking cod liver oil
@@kasambakemarkachaka9319 I wasn’t even expecting this to clear up. I happened to notice my arms one day out of the shower and was shocked to see the bumps gone. Same with my toe. I had that fungus on my toe for a little over 7 years after I injured it pretty bad. And tried so many otc creams and anti fungals. It’s completely gone. I am more surprised than anyone.
Hello what did you mean IF?
Coconut Oil on the skin right after a shower works for me. After applying for about three days, I start to see a difference. I’m going to add the cod liver oil, (internally) etc.
I second this. I just recently started using coconut oil after showering and I noticed that my bumps are fading away so this works for me as well. I think it's the lactic acid in coconut oil that helps.
Same here after only three weeks of using coconut oil my skin is smoother than it’s been in years

I have always wondered what those bumps were. I went to the doctor for it as a child and I was told I had sensitive skin and instructed to start using Neutrogena Soap. The bumps didn't go away. Meanwhile, about a year ago I discovered that if I put organic coconut oil on the area the bumps fade and after a couple of days of repeating after showering the bumps disappear completely.
Did you say a couple of days!!
@@feel_less Yes, I could even tell the next morning that the bumps were clearing up. So I kept using it. After a couple days my arms were clear.

I had KP on my arms for years, my family has it too however, mine is not as severe as my family members. What I noticed is this, improving my diet, higher protein intake, less junk food, etc have all made massive improvement to my KP on my arms. I also noticed that showering in very hot water aggregates my KP so I would make sure that when I'm taking hot showers, I would not let my KP come into contact with the hot water. Instead I would switch to cold water and use soap to wash my arms.
I still have KP on my arm but it's not as bad. Previously I tried medication and many other options but none of them worked... I wasted hundreds of dollars doing this. Fixing diet, moisturizing and showering my KP areas with cold water are what worked for me.
In short,
1. Diet ( less junk food, higher protein intake )
2. No hot water showers on KP areas
3. Moisturizer. I use a simple water-based moisturizer called "Hada Labo" It's from Japan.
You should avoid hot water showers for the sake of your hair and all of your skin. Warm is much better. Also, coconut oil is superior to any kind of lotions or creams. Hope this helps! It did for me 😊
Thank you 😊
Dr. Berg, I remember when I began learning from you, back in 2017, you had said in a video that it would go away and for me it did go away. I began taking Cod Liver Oil capsules by Carlson within a couple of months after I began Keto/IF. Thank you.

Keratosis pilaris tends to run in families.
Severity often varies with the seasons.
Women are slightly more likely to develop KP than men.
Maybe cause of estrogen & it’s involvement in gallbladder- bile 🤷🏼♀️
Thanks for this informarion.
Yes it is hereditary. I have it, my Mom has it and my grandfather has. I've just learned to live with but will definitely consider the information in this video.
Just a little suggestion. I am a holistic master esthetician of almost 4 decades and I agree with Dr B. I also have my Clients exfoliate daily by either dry brushing or using a body brush with their body wash in the shower. I then have them use a sugar scrub ( not salt) or an oil before drying off. A few other tips are head and shoulders in the dark blue bottle and applying Monistat 7 classic( yes it works, anti fungal) all of those and diet have helped my clients get rid of Keratosis Pilaris completely. Many times the skin being thick or calloused is also an issue and or we have activated or left an opening for the natural fungus and bacteria on our skin. Just some extra skin love.
Blessings to all of you 🍑🙌🏻🧡Lisa
You are absolutely right, my mom has them, i have them and one of my daughters now too. I actually thought everybody has them, that it was a normal thing.
I've had that my whole life. Used powered soaps, luffas and scrubs and never seemed to help. I went on a clean keto diet a year ago and realized a few months back that I don't have the red bumps on every pore on my thighs or arms anymore. I figured my diet did it, but now I know why. Thanks Dr. Berg
Why?
I used to be so embarrassed to wear short sleeves because of this and a bad habit of picking at them would leave some scabs or scar's. Thank you so much for this information! ☺️
This was me too
Me too. I used to hate summer and never wears short sleeve shirts or short pants.

I have struggled with this condition for years. I feel like I’ve tried everything. Taking a Vitamin A supplement didn’t work because of my fatty liver. I started taking 500mg of TUDCA (liver cleanser) in the morning, and only then did the Vitamin A make any difference. I would estimate an 80% reduction in bumps. Give it a try is Vitamin A alone isn’t working.
How is your KP now? Is all gone?

It's vitamin d deficiency
I had this as a kid until I was in my late 20’s - early 30’s. I remember my doctor told me to use Am-Lactin. That didn’t help. Exfoliating didn’t help. I finally just grew out of it.
I’ve had this my entire life and in certain seasons it gets worse. It also got worse with all 4 of my pregnancies and the doctors told me it was not related to my hormones but I knew this wasn’t right. This has the best info I’ve seen on my many years of looking for answers to heal this issue instead of just trying to mask it or fix it from the outside. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Keto promotes quite a bit of intermittent fasting as well as other fasting. So I wonder how can a person eat enough foods to consume adequate vitamins and minerals? Can you realistically get the levels needed in one or two meals per day? How much food do we have to eat in one sitting? I can't physically eat a mile high salad. I'll throw up 😝 So do we have to live taking a boatload of supplements bc we are fasting our life away? Can't have it both ways. We either eat our vitamins and minerals or we take supplements. So we pig out in one or two sittings? I sure miss the days we had wonderful large family gatherings and eating was fun, rewarding and happy. We enjoyed our food not having to think I can't eat this or that bc its not keto omg! Now eating is joyless. Just a constant medical experiment at best. Torturous work at worst. Ay vey! Food is medicine indeed. And taking medicine is not fun or yummy. Just saying. Got to be a better way to live.
I believe part of the problem today is all of the additives to our foods, especially grains. I try to focus on eating twice a day and opt for protein, fat, and veggies (Whole Foods) while not completely cutting out grains and pastas. I know that I would lose weight faster on keto, but this has been a sustainable way for me to eat, slowly lose weight, feel loads better and still enjoy eating with friends and family without obsessing over what I’m eating.
I'm 35 years old now and I already had this skin condition since I was a child (always thought it's genetic since my mother and my brother have the same condition). In the past I got some lotions from dermatologists, but nothing was a game changer. Some years ago I drastically reduced gluten because of stomach problems and the crazy side effect was, that I had clear skin on my arms after 3 weeks of diet. I also suffer from PCOS and insulin resistance and now I wonder if I've had insulin problems in my childhood already.
I have PCOS too and I believe I have insulin problem too. My mom is diabetic, so I think I am pre diabetic. 😔 I also have obesity, I cut down a lot of food and I don’t drink milk for 5+ years I also don’t eat bread. I have sensitive stomach so I can’t have fast food often. The reason behind my skin is mostly due to emotional stress, high insulin and obesity. I walk a lot, go to the gym which I started 3 months ago, and I have been on diet control for 5 months.
I’ve been having this problem since I was little. It’s on the back of my arm and my legs. I always thought it was genetic since my mom also had it. This is exactly what I need right now. I've just placed an order, I’m hoping it can help turn my life around and make me feel better about my skin.
Wow this is my exact situation
Did it help you?
it works for you?
@@everydaysoccer2382 did it work out for you?
Any luck?
Using a loofah while showering and glycerine after has worked for me. Also lactic acid containing moisturizer. Going low carb also helped bc those dotted raised bumps are flat and less conspicuous now.
I also do this it works!
So what not to eat like wheat , bread and ?
Im diabetic and haven't been so lucky with the loofah and low carb I'll look for lactic acid in my moisturizer and talk to my diabetes Dr.
I scrubbed away with the loofah like no tomorrow when I was younger because I was so fed up with this LOL, now it's very mild and I take one Omega 3 fish oil daily which has helped lots with my skin...maybe I'll try what he suggests too, I also use an exfoliating glove and a good body scrub (Hempz) now.
Loofahs hold onto germs and bacteria, they are dirty after the first use. A more hygienic way to clean yourself is with a freshly laundered washcloth. How can you be clean when you’re using something that was all over your dirty body yesterday and the day before and the day before.
Good Morning , Dr.Berg 🦋
Thank you so much for sharing this interesting information and great advice with everybody !

To all the remedies mentioned by Dr. Berg, I would strongly recommend adding vitamin K2 supplements to the regime, for me it was the most significant factor in reducing KP by 80 percent. I took atleast 100 mcg a day, plus I stopped using body washes that contain soap, since in contact with the hard water in my area it was causing cloged pores on the back of the arms and back, which would lead to more dry skin, folliculits and scabs.
*_Cod Liver Oil burps do not last. After a few weeks you won't have them anymore-if you had them in the first place._*
You mean it only works in the beginning?
Cod Liver Oil is amazing stuff, everyone should take it no matter who you are or what your health is like IMHO, so many health benefits
Hi Dr Berg thankyou for all that you do to help us live a healthy life! We love you❤🤗
Just skip to 6:39 for the actual remedy.

Oh my God!!
It is as if you read my mind Dr. Berg
I was thinking about asking you regarding this KP. I opened youtube to ask you and viola! You already uploaded the video an hour ago 😄
Another great video! Could you please let us know when and how to take these capsules? (Cod Liver Oil).
I think all my life I’ve had KP. In the last 8 months though, I have been eating worse than ever in my life, and I noticed increasingly that my skin will get stand-alone big, red, Itchy bumps…I have also noticed that my butt and lower back have larger red pores clusters than before, is this still KP or has diet made my KP worse?
You could test your omega 3 and see but yes bad diets take nutrients out of one’s body when being digested.
Wow
I’ve looked for this theme, always been wondering what is behind my KP, it gets worse every day. I’ve tried many types of skin care products but nothing ever worked. Even the Google never had a clear information about it. Thank you Dr. for bringing that out. This video just saved me. Keep up with these kind of great videos. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
When I started keto a lot of things got better and one of them was these goose bumps on my skin. It took a few months but my skin felt really soft. I got sidelined by bad advice and entered a long period of really dirty keto and one of the first things to come back was the skin problems and bleeding gums. It took me more than a year to realise I need fat in my diet to keep the carbs away. Still working on it. Great video. And thanks for another video in which you said to always eat at least 75 grams of fat a day. It helped me to refocus.
What's dirty keto?

I had this as a teen and never understood why this condition existed. Didn’t grow out of it until early 30’s.
My parents took me to a dermatologist when I was a young child. He said it is blocked hair ducts and recommended exfoliating and moisturiser 2 times a day. I did notice in the summer at the beach and river trips it cleared a little. But I’m 52 and still have this.
Is it normal for teens to be always hungry and wanting to eat constantly?
I had this for over 10 years, I live in Canada. Whenever I travel to a sunny country it suddenly disappear!!
As usual, you never waste my time. Thank you very much.
In the Netherlands we eat a lot of dairy products. And 50% of this condition is from eating to much dairy. So stop eating yogurt and cheese etc. And you will see that it goes away as snow in front of the sun ☺️
But isn't yoghurt very good for the stomach flora?
I feel like yogurt and cheese are good things. Both are cultured dairy products so they're better than straight up milk. Cheese has CLA, lots of protein and fat and minimal carbs. Yogurt has been shown to be good for the gut microbiome, I think it was like the only truly prebiotic food if I recall correctly

Could me please tell me also sis
So... too much mental stress, basically high testosterone, eating too often (stress eating) and too much (fatty liver... from stress eating), and also just... more dark thick body hair (which means generally more keratin)...
So... all of the problems that went away or got reduced when coming out as trans and getting on HRT... welp, that explains why it got better
What about Krill Oil, it also has vitamin A, Omega-3s and astaxanthin as well, woudn't be even better than cod liver oil?
To my understanding, it’s missing vitamin d, but if one has other great sources of vitamin d, a high quality krill oil could be better.
I was developing the Keratosis on my arms and one leg. So, at Dr. Berg's suggestion, I started taking cod liver oil tablets. It didn't happen immediately, but rather, it took a few weeks. But eventually, it started clearing up. Cod liver oil seems to have worked like a dream for me. 🙂

@@emanghazal7496 It's gone away, but I've continued to take the cod liver oil. My parents grew up at a time (during the 1940s) when they were given a spoonful of cod liver oil every week. So, there's definitely something in the virtues of cod liver oil.
I can't remember exactly how long it took. But I'd guess at maybe two to three weeks. At any rate, it's still gone. I take two caplets every day, each having 550 mg of cod liver oil and 400 IU of vitamin D3.

I had some bumps before chemo which I kept under control with an exfoliation and moisturising regime, but when my hair started growing back, the Keratosis Pilaris came back with a vengeance, even spreading to my forearms and thighs, and it's not responding to my previous regime.
Could it be that the hormone therapy is raising my Androgen levels? I'll give the cod liver oil a go too.
Sigh I wanna get rid of it. Waxing, shaving it's stressful . Not sure what to do anymore. Just happy it's not as visible but when I touch my arm you can feel it
I have had this issue since I was about 11. It's all over my legs, arms, sides etc. It got worse over the years. On top of it, I have ingrown hair. My body hair would be curly, but can not longer even see most of the hair on my arms bcuz of this skin condition, it makes it harder for my curly body hair to grow. End up with insane amount of ingrown hair. It has really brought down my quality of life. I could go into all the details of why, but instead, I just want to say THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! If this works for me, this will literally change my life!!!
I understand you very well!
tell me about the results now
Thank you so much Dr Berg! I struggled with KP for so long. I followed this vid immediately and I’m already seeing results after 1 week. Unfortunately I picked at the bumps out of desperation/frustration for so long and left scars. I am using vitamin E atm (from ur acne scar vid) and I was wondering if u might have any other additional tips to help with scars. Thank you so much! I look forward to all of your vids. 🤗
How much do you take
Do you take it every day
