About 50-80% of children and 40% of adults suffer from this skin disorder. It's often undiagnosed and untreated. Keratosis Pilaris exposed right now!

I want to talk about the skin disorder Keratosis pilaris. I call it the 'invisible' skin disorder because it affects so many people and they don't know it. It is visible to the eye but many may think it's just a cosmetic defect, wrong! Keratosis Pilaris is a disorder of the skin and you can make it better. Before you sigh, this is not a random page trying to make a quick buck from miracle products because it isn't. I have the skin disorder Keratosis Pilaris myself. After 6 months of using various products, I've come to learn what works and what doesn't. My KP is very much under control and I don't worry about it as I did before. I speak from the heart and genuinely want to help people as others have done for me. Be sure to rate this lens and leave me a note on the guestbook. Niaomi.

    I'm currently 16 and I've had KP for as long as I can remember. I thought it was just me cause everywhere i looked i saw flawless legs. I thought it was just a problem that I dealed with and got really depressed when i thought about it. I started thinking that it was a bunch of ingrown hairs a while ago, so I went to my doctor. she said it was kp but told me it would go away later. i dont just want to wait for it to go away, i want it gone now! it's so embarrasing and even though mine isn't very severe its still something that i impacts my self esteem. i'm going to invest in the products you mention. thank you for putting this up!

    Hi there,
    I have KP only on my cheeks and i was wondering what part of your body you used the dcl aha lotion on. Do you think the 20% will be to harsh for my face? I've used some pretty harsh products on my face before with no problem (proactiv is the only thing that ever made me peel and it was minor).
    anyways,
    thanks alot

    I have always had KP on my upper arms but since my pregnancy and delivery it has spread to my lower arms, buttocks and thighs. Has there been any mention that this is a hormonal thing?

    My daughter and I both have it, have since birth. I have tried many things to help clear it up, I have noticed that it gets better, almost disappears, with sun exposer. The best help I have found, and relatively cheap, is Dr. Bronner's 18-in-1 Hemp Peppermint Pure-Casle soap! I had a pretty bad outbreak on my arms and with one use in the shower it was almost comepletely cleared up!!! The stuff is amazing and all natural!
