Keratosis Polaris

[chinups]

Does anyone suffer from this disorder? I have it on my arms and I know its bad but I come to live with it. Truth is when I get big and ripped I don't even want to take off my shirt do to this disorder. It is scratchy bump red marks on the back of your arms, acne like but not. It sux bad and coming up with something to solve it is impossible. It runs in the family they say and there is no cure. I ead this recently and this is what I am thinking about now

************Through Dr. Joseph Mercola's website, I was fortunate to have found the miracle coconut oil. For years I suffered with a skin condition called keratosis polaris (bumpy, itchy skin). I tried many, many treatments and spent hundreds of dollars on creams and cleansers. Nothing worked, until Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil. I have been using the oil for cooking and as a body cream. My skin condition is 100% improved. The products are very inexpensive compared to the cost of most of the useless products I tried in the past. Thank you for this miracle product!

I had it mildly...it wasnt read or anything but the skin was all weird. Go to the dermo and they will give you a special shampoo and it's also a lack of a specific vitamin but I forgot what it was.

TONS of people have it, so don't worry about it too much...I'm sure it's not as noticeable to others as it is to you!

It'll get much better if you treat it with lactic or glycolic acid (I think lactic works better, but it has to be rx strength), or Vit. A creams (retinol). It doesn't really matter what you use to moisturize or which vitamins you take, those are pretty much the only treatment options.

i mean most of the docs I go to suggest or prescribe lotions and bars of soap and they aren't cheap. bars for 7 bucks and shit like that. This lady from dirty jersey says Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil. I am going to give it a whirl

give the coconut a try it helps against lots of things(dont know if it would do anything to your condition though).

But be a bit cautious on Mercolas webpage. He is very wierd.
