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.

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

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.

@RoyalReyna 2 жыл бұрын
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.

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!!

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 ❤️

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 this, and I went on a gluten free diet to improve my bowels, funny thing is it improved my Keratosis Polaris. I’ve been on a gluten free diet now for about 2 months and it’s really improved my skin. My arms are very smooth, I only have bumps on a small part of my arms now. It’s amazing.

I was bummed when I noticed my baby that's barely over a year an a half started to get them but since my oldest just started seeing improvements we knew it was most likely the gluten an his are starting to clear up too.

I have a mild case of Psoriasis that started about 3 years ago and Keratosis Pilaris for as long as I can remember. I went to Thailand last year for 3 weeks and my KP showed a big improvement. My wife pointed out that our diet change while on vacation was probably the biggest difference. We found that Thai cooking is for the most part naturally gluten-free; they use rice, tapioca and coconut instead of wheat. Took us a bit to get into it this year, but we've been on a gluten-free diet for 2 months, and my KP has nearly disappeared. It's so difficult because I love fresh bread, pizza and pastries, but if you have KP, I'd recommend trying a gluten-free diet.

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 ☺️

I remember when it all started for me... I was in 10th grade and wearing shorts, a classmate said oh you have goosebumps and I looked at my thighs and was like no that's just how my skin is. It was awkward. Nothing came of it bc it didn't cause any medical harm. I eventually learned it was something about the hair follicle and just they way my skin is. I had a best friend who was into tanning/ cared about having "nice skin" and I was so pale with red bumpy skin 🙁 I never struggled with acne but always wished I had 'clear' skin on my legs. 🤷🏻‍♀️ and my sister has psoriasis. I would get a random single red spot of it every few years but never broke out. Neither of us have eczema. My dad had KP. And for what's it worth. I appreciate the info you two share!! I'm all about the why and how. 👍

Sooo many times I've heard the "you've got goosebumps!" (Backs of upper arms) and I eventually just started saying "yeah I know" rather than try to explain. I'm well past grown now, and yes, it has "gone away" entirely. But I've passed it on to my children, 2 of which have also "outgrown" it as adults, but my 14 yo son is at the peak of it now. He's very patient in going through the motions of exfoliate, moisturize, rinse, repeat, etc. (at his inquiry and request) Side note; I developed psoriasis about 2 years ago, never thought about the two being related, but thinking it has to be, with the skin buildup etc. Suggestions are welcome, I want to scratch my foot off with a wire grill brush somedays 😬

I have been plagued with this my entire 53 years. I've tried the scrubs creams(including cera-ve, etc etc. Coconut oil was the only topical that ever helped at all, but still didn't get rid of it. When covid hit I began taking the recommended zinc supplement, daily. My KP cleared up completely, for the first time ever. I didn't realize, at first, why my skin was so smooth and clear. It wasn't until I ran out of zinc for a couple weeks, and the bumps began to reappear, that I wondered if that was what had been making the difference in my skin. I got back on the zinc and it cleared right back up. I will take zinc for the rest of my life!

I’ve had severe KP since I hit puberty (7 years old)… Honestly throughout most of my life, I’ve been so self conscious and tried many treatments to reduce my KP; however, the outcomes were always unsuccessful! Tbh, I’ve always been scared to be in relationships because of my skin condition due to fear of rejection.. Fast forward to 2017, I finally committed to be in a relationship but I still didn’t reveal to my bf that I had KP until 1 year into our relo.. Once I told him he actually started laughing because he thought it was ridiculous of me to be scared of revealing my skin condition to him.. He told me that my KP didn’t make me any different and that it was my unique feature. That statement right there is what boosted my self confidence. Now-a-days I’ve learnt to live with my KP without giving a damn what other people think lol.. I’m so glad to have my bf in my life who appreciates me for who I am all throughout! 😊..

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.

Fun fact: I live in the UK and our CeraVe SA has 10% urea rather than glycerin as the second ingredient. It is amazing against KP (I suffer from it on my upper arms). Such a shame that it is not sold in the same format elsewhere because it contains lactic and salicylic acid, urea and ceremides.

I started using it about a year ago after my KP migrated from just my upper arms to all over my arms. My Mum being a typical Mum waited until we were all out in public to ask why I had a bad rash, I had tried the soap and glory moisturiser and the Pixi wash and moisturiser so when I saw Cerave recommended I bought it and it has made a huge difference. I put the wash on and leave it for a couple of minutes before using a scrub cloth over it. It got a bit worse this winter but Cerave is a game changer. I used to get such itchy skin as well especially in summer and didn't last summer. I wonder why the US one isn't the same?

But they work better in higher doses as long as it's monitored and used with the right SPF.

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.

i grew up with this being a HUGE issue during teen years and as a younger adult. these days at 27 some of the bumps remain, but the redness isn't really there anymore thankfully. idk if it's because my diet has changed over time, or if it's just something i was able to grow out of. either way i am greatful for this to be far less noticeable in my current life

This topic is so interesting... I study osteopathy and sometimes I am observing people who have KP (me included). I’ve got the impression that it’s not only the skin that is causing the problem but has something to do with the blood flow, the nerves, hormones and sensitivity to environmental pollutants as well. Sounds weird, but I feel like it’s not only a skin condition 🥴 great video, you explain the condition so well!

As weird as this sounds, mine always seems to get better with sun exposure. If I lay out and tan during the summer, I have always notice a decrease in the amount bumps. It’s not a one and done kind of thing, but over the summer the bumps seem to lessen. And then winter comes and it’s all back.

I've noticed my kp is the most minimal when I'm right at, or just after, ovulation. In my case it definitely looks reactive to hormones, I agree with your theory. I've ruled out allergens and tried most recommended products with no change. Sun exposure does also help mine, and I have circulation issues so blood flow may also be a factor - I'm still experimenting with massages. I think you're on to something!

@@moomonst3r853 Thanks so much for sharing, this seems to happen to many women. When the oestrogen increases during and after ovulation, KP tends to worsen. As you said, sun exposure can be helpful, also massaging with a certain brush. Cold showers increase blood flow too, so if that’s something you could stand, go for it 😊 Also, a vegan diet could definitely help, milk products are full of hormones that are not meant to be in our body. Meat is full of antibiotics that can cause skin reactions. Sugar tends to worsen KP too, and can really cause EXTREME break-outs. Maybe that can help, too. 😊

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 started out just having constant eczema everywhere on my body when I was little and as I grew older my rashes kept changing and becoming more severe. My rashes went from eczema, psoriasis, staph infection, and something that my dermatologist and other skin cancer facilities couldn’t pinpoint what it was but my face was swollen, oozing, infected and the top layer of my skin just cracked off and I had to undergo several antibiotics for 2 months and then cream for a year just to get it to go away. Since I was ten I have felt with kp and the only thing that helps with redness and roughness is black African soap scrub, retinol cream, and then a sensitive skin moisturizer once the retinol dries. Sensitive skin is rough and people will make fun and stare but you will get through it and learn to love yourself! Stay positive and stay strong.

Using 'cling wrap' on my arms after a thick layer of cerave SA overnight has helped my KP drastically. Lazy to create a YT video. But want to help people who have suffered with KP like me. Asian-Indian, female, 30s, light brown dry sensitive skin, lives in a city with low humidity. This is what I do: Step 1: Wash with Cerave SA wash. Step 2: The ordinary lactic acid 10% + HA Step 3: Inkey list BHA Step 4: Cerave SA cream (thick layer) Step 5: E45 cream (pat over) as I find Cerave SA cream isn't moisturising enough for my skin Step 6: Wrap arm in cling film Step 7: Use humidifier (I don't often as I'm lazy) Took around 3 weeks to see good results. Hope this helps.

When you try to pop them does anything come out? Just wondering because I’m pretty sure I have KP but a lot of times I can squeeze them with little tweezers and something will come out but they take FOREVER to heal. Are yours like that? I’m trying to figure out if I have something different.
