I have this on my whole body.
I've tried everything, even gotten prescription stuff but no good. Dermatologist said I just have to hope it goes away as I get older.
I heard retinol might help with this
orally or topically?
Mine has lessened as I've gotten older (31), but it's definitely still there
Mine went away after eating broccoli everyday and not eating chocolate and sugar sweets at all. Also try supplementing with a Vitamin B (all of the B vitamins) supplement
Urine
This shit ruins the aesthetics of my thighs. Tried scrubs and chemical peels, nothing works. At least it seems to be slowly disappearing as I get older.
>This shit ruins the aesthetics of my thighs
Same anon. 25 and it hasn't gotten significantly lighter ;_;
FWIW every year I've gotten a good tan it's gotten a bit better.
I got this right after they jabbed me with Heb B shots in our school gym as a kid
Huh, so thats what's on my shoulders. It showed up after a particularly bad sunburn healed. I also have lots and lots of moles on my arms and neck. I'm probably destined for skin cancer tbh
There is no cure but you can reduce its appearance with daily exfoliation lotions.
cerave sa smoothing cream
I've got it on my upper arms and it goes away completely if I'm sun tanning, and comes right back when I stop.
I just checked this shit on my elbows and found out it's almost gone kek.
I never had acne growing up. I have KP and my derm said anyone with it doesnt get acne.
Not true. Have it on my arms and I had terrible bacne and occasional facial acne during my teens and for most of my 20's.
Gets worse with insulin resistance. Had no idea it was a signifier that I was more prone to type 2 diabetes.
Time. All the meme creams and lotions people will suggest do nothing, I can attest to this with personal experience.
When I got super tanned it disappeared on my arms almost completely
ive had this my whole life and never given a frick. a girl said i have strawberry skin once and that it was cute. then again she wanted to frick me so she is biased. nobody cares dude.
Try having a gorillion dysplastic moles and needing regular checkups
Had this my entire life on my upper arms. I'm now 25 and its nearly entirely gone. I think the main reason personally was switching to a loofah in the shower to properly scrub my body and going outside more shirtless (even just being in the garden during summer helps).
For most people it goes away by late 20s or so. For some of us, including me, it is unfortunately permanent. This is what I have found that helps. Doesn't make it go away, but reduces it quite a bit.
Cetaphil Rough and Bumpy Lotion
PanOxyl 10% Benzoyl Peroxide Acne Wash
Clindamycin lotion (requires prescription)
Some exfoliating cloth (I like Goshi exfoliating shower towel)
Use the exfoliating cloth during every shower, at least on the areas with KP, and after you wash use the PanOxyl before you get out. Then use the Cetaphil and clendamycin once a day each (one in morning one at night). If you don't have clendamycin lotion just the Cetpahil lotion is ok, the prescription one is mostly to treat any inflamed follicles.
Do that every day and after 2-3 weeks the KP will be a lot less noticeable.
I’ve had this shit most of my life. Get a decent tan and it’s nowhere near as obvious.
this kind of reminds me of the shit I had on my upper arms when I was a teenager.
it bothered me of course but i never went to the doctor for it.
I exfoliated sometimes and tried getting some sun there too, in the end it slowly went away
Tretinoin
Congrats, you now have the fountain of youth cream
I have it on my arms. Using a moisturizing cream (straight up blue Nivea) makes it fade quite a bit, but it comes back if I stop using cream.
only thing thats ever worked for me. smells like death but use it 2x a week and bumps are minimal. specifically meant for keratosis pilaris but if your gf sees it in your shower she'll probably think you're cheating on her because the packaging is girly. dont go out in the sun too much the day after you use it, its really strong so it makes skin sensitive
I've had this on the back of my arms forever. I have to pay special attention to exfoliating my skin. I get body soap with abrasive stuff like charcoal and also scrub with a brush or something. Then lotion after every shower. Ive also noticed after swimming in outdoor pools that it clears up a lot, but I'm not sure if thats because of shit in the water or the sun. I think the chemicals in the water have something to do with it. I still have it, but these things atleast help.
unironically seed oils. consume 0 PUFA and watch it fade within a week
Have it on my upper arms. Nothing has helped honestly it sucks. I didnt like wearing short sleeves as a kid cause it would show a bit. Arm skin is bumps and bad looking it has always annoyed me.
