Doctor explains KERATOSIS PILARIS (aka chicken skin) | Causes, treatments and AT HOME MANAGEMENT

[@katlynfitts8738]

I am in the US and have had this for as long as I can remember and I am 26 now. I haven’t found anything that completely clears it. It definitely made me self conscious a lot as a teenager, not so much now. I wished there was a way to completely clear it.

Try a healthy nutrition (lots and lots of vegetables). But not just for a few months. Reflect everything you usually eat and if it's healthy or not or if it's uneccessarily rich in calories. Also sports or cardio may help. If your're a lazy person, get a trim bike for home (they're relatively cheap) so you can access it easily within minutes without the hassle of going out. That's what helped me, mainly the change in nutrition/diet. Start small/slow though and improve bit by bit because changing something from 1 day to another will most likely fail. The good thing is, there is nothing to lose with that. If you've done that for 1 year at least and nothing has changed you can still try out some of the lotions. Personally I don't use any lotions or cremes. Just normal shower with water after every daily workout/cardio session.

@@GermanKickboxerI’m British so veggies are in my diet a lot and I have this condition bro you can’t fix it unless you buy steroid cream which helps clear it up but it isn’t a permanent fix it will come back and need treating again so most can’t afford to treat it

[@Itsfineweerallfine]

I have found that staying away from wheat, store bought milk, and sugar help diminish or eliminate kp. I think this could be due to the inflammatory nature of those foods.

[@dominicpond]

I've used store bought non lactose milk and it seemed to help, but nothing gets rid of it fully.

[@ANARCHY.050]

You think? You’re not even sure?

[@dominicpond]

@@ANARCHY.050 Its an attempt, some things work for some people. And when you are wanting to get rid of something, you will try certain things in an attempt.

[@boohooasray]

​@dominicpond Treatments,products,food or any other products can't get rid of keratosis pilaris fully. Keratosis pilaris can go away naturally but treatments help reduce the look or make your skin feel better,not make the entire condition go away all together. (This is what my dertamotolgist told me btw.)

I just need this fixed I can’t wear long sleeve shirts anymore and I have religiously picked my arms since I was a child and they are scarred. This has such a serious mental effect on me I’m tired of people not giving this more attention.

[@scandallpower]

I’m sorry to hear that. I have it too. It’s really common and I don’t think people really notice it much

[@arthurbertram4398]

I developed KP about 12 years ago. I tried many things for it with no results. It even became more widespread. I started the carnivore diet seven months ago and my KP is probably 90% gone now. It has been steadily improving the entire time I've been eating this way. At this rate, I'm sure it will have completely resolved by the one year mark.

[@jeff7279]

by the way. Removing the hair removes KP, completely 100% no more bump, no more red dot. I have heart disease and have lost all the hair on my lower legs where i had KP. The KP is completely gone anywhere i have lost hair on my body.

[@compassion333]

I'm losing the hair on my legs too but I have no health issues

[@Joeghost47]

Are you sure?

[@seeker7702]

I have KP, and 27 years old, its more than decade but its spreading across my body, I am scared and Feel insecure wearing T-shirt, so I always use doong sleeves. I Am Male.

[@jeff7279]

Funny how it's referred to as harmless. I guess mental health doesn't matter in the medical industry. Try being 53 and having it severely since age 14. See how your life runs it's course under those circumstances....

[@Hambar7]

I don't understand . I have it also since I was even 12 and now I'm 31 . I stopped being obsessed about it about 10 years ago and no one has a problem with it .

[@Rucc_4S]

@@Hambar7hey sorry to bother, im 13 and I’ve recently got this. Since you’ve had it for so long does it stay for everyone? Please tell me if so because im getting really worried

[@Hambar7]

@@Rucc_4S i can say only for myself. I have it and i dont mind neither others. Its always a problem in school at your age cause teenagers are mean and seak for attention.

I have seen that applying moisturiser twice a day helps a lot .. just for it for a week u will see the difference

When the temperature of my environment or body increases during the winter months, I experience itching attacks on my back and scalp. Could this KP be the reason?

[@Er-sv5tn]

Low humidity

[@Naveen-rz7iu]

my KP is gone within 3 days but marks are still there if you want to stop KP development then find a cream which contain. Salicylic acid, lactic acid, urea. I used TOPOVATE-MF OINTMENT cream which is about 190 INR(indian)

[@Felicity2121]

I get this on my legs but I’m 48 so maybe it’s not😊 The bumps don’t stay raised though.

I'm from India and Now I'm 20 years old now. I also have this keratosis pilaris on my shoulder and back. Many people says that It's remove out from our skin by self after 26-27 years. Please tell me, is it true?

[@LifeOfBooksAndTravels]

Sorry to disappoint you. I had been told the same from my childhood. And now I am 35 and still have same. The only thing that changed is my confidence level and accepting myself. This condition cannot be cured. I had also checked with multiple skin specialists. One doctor suggested me to go for laser treatment but it may result in patches sometimes. So better than doing such treatment, accept this and move on. I hope it helps for you, you are not alone in this 😊

I've also read that taking Cod Liver Oil regularly may help. Is this true?

[@DrODonovan]

I’ve not heard of this one

[@Fannyschmeller2002]

Bro there’s no fix. I’ve been told by drs steroid cream helps but it will still return . And steroid cream is not prescribed for it by nhs also it’s expensive to buy privately so it goes untreated really
