>have bad KP all over my arms
Any way i can treat this shit?

Iktfb. Following have not worked:

-Amlactin
-Gold Bond Rough & Bumpy
-Exfoliation
- Coconut oil

Fucking ready to give up desu. Apparently getting older helps.

Don't exfoliate, don't take hot showers and wash using soap every day. This removed it for me.

had this shit all over my shoulders and arms when I was a dyel fatty

started lifting and didnt give a fuck about it, and now they're gone

>tldr dont be a bitch and get your ass to the gym

what is this? a lot of people have this shit on arms

>don't exfoliate
Huh, interesting. I'll give that a shot. Any theory as to the mechanism of action there? I had heard cold showers help.

I don't even wear tshirts because I'm so self-conscious about it.

Same senpai. I wear baseball tees.

Strange, I used to have it too, now i checked because of this thread and it's gone. Don't know if it's lifting (been lifting for a year)

Keratosis pilares. Keratin builds up in the hair follicles on your skin and blocks them causing little bumps. There is no known way to completely get rid of it.

Exfoliating can help, but don't go overboard, just do it gently once a week. Also after the bumps are gone you'll often have red marks where the bumps were. I've heard tanning can help to reduce this, but I haven't tried it myself.

Also, look out for moisturisers with urea, salicylic acid or alpha or beta hydroxy acids. Be careful with the latter two though as in a shocking plot twist they make your skin more sensitive to the sun, so combining them with tanning is probably a bad idea.

These steps will either fix it complete, reduce it slightly or have no impact
>no hot showers
warm is okay, cold if you prefer but not hot

>moisturise 2-3 a day
Especially after you shower. Consider some special snowflake moisturiser for sensitive skin

>exfoliate gently when you shower
DON"T do this roughly or with something coarse. Will just aggravate and make it worse

>go to your GP.
They will prescribe some special creams if the other stuff didn't work

In addition to these steps or if they don't work at all, you can cope with the symptoms by

>getting a tan
Probably the best thing you can do. KP looks much less noticeable with a tan.

>wearing long-sleeve shirts/hoodies

>learning to care less.
KP is VERY common, once you start looking out for it you see it everywhere. Most people barely think about it and don't notice unless it is awful which yours probably isn't


Good luck.

>tfw planning a trap cosplay and it's all over my ass and thighs ;_;

Had that shit on my shoulders and upper arms.

I got rid of it by quitting all dairy products including whey protein. Now only albumin protein.

so you just eat eggs for protons or do you get egg proton powder?

brb going dairy free for a while

sweating, growing muscle

same desu. Tho it's not gone (it's genetic in my case), but it's faded. Too bad I have ugly face skin too. Same atopic shit. I would be pretty handsome if not that.

I got this too, I've been to dermatologist multiple times and nothing they say works. Excuse my DYEL

SUNLIGHT

Sunlight is the best method folks. Sadly you are screwed until next summer, but once summer hits go to the beach for a few hours daily and you will see drastic improvement.

Dairy free helped my face alot, do it. Been somewhat hard because I love cheese milk and whatnot.

>These steps will either fix it complete, reduce it slightly or have no impact

t-thanks

I have this shit too
fucking annoying as my biceps are god tier but this chicken shit fucking ruins it

Mate are you me. I got in my face too, but my face is bright red all pver because of it. I would be handsome if not for this stupid shit.

The stress and anxiety of having my oneitis, best friend and family all destroy me in one day made mine extremely worse, I now have it severely in most of my back and stomach, does anyone please kniw how to fix it? :(

Sugar scrub!!! Helped me with mine

use an chemical exfoliat -i would suggest something from paulas choice -it helped me.

and cut your nails if you dont want to look like a trashy bimbo

who the fuck cares

why u niggas want to have skin like a dolphin anyways

OP, use hydrogen peroxide. Worked for me. Just pour it on the areas and leave it be for a few minutes then wash it off.

How long did you do this for

this dyes your hairs though

Use Glytone

Once. Those bumps are bacteria and shit built up in the pours. The HP deep cleans it. If you don't believe me just try on a small spot.

Small price for clear skin.

It's not stress related. Honestly you can't do anyrhing about it.

It's not bacteria. The skin produces too much keratin.

TLDR- PEE ON IT!

I've had KP all over my arms and in the space underneath my armpits all my life, and now I've also got bad eczema on both my shins which makes me look like I have a terrible immune system from AIDs or something whenever I'm at the gym with my shorts on.

>tfw you'll never be comfortable in your fucked up skin
