I know, I know... I've posted about this before. But I try once more to see if I can get any other advice on the subject.

I would greatly appreciate answers from only people that have seen solutions to the problem.

What will get rid of my KP? I've tried all sorts of things.

As I said before, there's no known cure... some things that may help are milk baths, coconut oil, cocoa butter, etc.

There's also a prescription cream called Triamcinolone Acetonide, so... perhaps a trip to the dermatologist sometime between your first job/nap/second job?

I know that there's no cure, otherwise I wouldn't have had it for 22 years. I have tried all that. I will look into the prescription.

Triamcinolone Acetonide seems to be a medication for intra-ocular diseases...

Triamcinolone Acetonide is a corticosteroid... which also may help in the balance of the salt/moisture of the eye... but as a cream, I have a feeling it may hurt the eye... :(

LMAO... I ran across this stuff called Glytone. I'm really interested in it. $56 though, and it's not cheaper on Ebay. So, my birthday is coming up in 5 months, if anyone wants to get me a present!

I say this over and over again...

... WHERE IS YOUR BOYFRIEND?!

Try Bicarb of Soda in your bath water.

Bath? Ew! But if it'll work... what's bicarb of soda? Where would I obtain this?

... some of us like to wash ourselves every now and then ;)

bicarb of soda = baking soda.

LOL... I wash myself standing up :P

Baking soda, hmmm, interesting... What is it that is in baking soda that could help?

It's a "base"... an alkaloid, which will help out the skin. Same thing with milk... lotions... etc.

Interesting. I'm wondering if adding some water and making a paste would work as well, I hate baths... ew...

... in... teresting? Very cat like, if you will.

LOL... I don't mind water, I just don't want to stew in my filth water. I prefer to rinse off me and down the drain.

But what exactly does it do? I know it helps the skin:P.

Not entirely sure of baking soda, but KP is due to excess secretion of keratin in the skin, a protein. Certain treatments will help in neutralizing the effects of the excess keratin, such as alpha/beta hydroxy acid... such as milk that has alpha hydroxy.

I know of a website that sells a natural cream which boosts collagen and elastin levels in the skin as well as antibacterial glycoprotiens that neutralize microbes and bacteria in the folicles. It also helps natural keratin flow out and minimize inflammation. Hope it helps. Keratosis Pilaris Skin Treatment Cream Oh, I can't buy it for you, sorry.

WOW... $60 for TWO ounces?? I'm going to see what the silver water will do first, cause that's outrageous!
