Keratosis pilaris is a common skin condition sometimes

called " chicken skin " and is often confused with allergies, eczema

or acne. While it may occur in concert with those conditions, it is

not related. To date, it is estimated that 50% or more of the

world's population has KP in one form or another.

KP is physically harmless, which is one reason many people are not

aware of it, let alone the name and its treatments. Still, while KP

remains physically harmless, it can manifest as an unsightly

condition many would prefer to do without. There is no cure for KP,

but fortunately, there exists a wealth of simple, affordable and

effective treatments.

My sister had a friend that had some bumps that did not go

away on her skin. Her doctor recognized it and asked her if

she ate a lot of cheese and dairy. She said yes, she craves

cheese and eats tons of it to snack on. He told her to stop

because she was building up too much calcium and it was

accumulating in her skin.

Not Dana, but n's arm bumps reduced by about 80% after a 3-month

course of Virastop. I've finally got a fish oil he tolerates so I'm

waiting to see if that gets the rest of them.
