the humidity factor is true. I lived in south east asia as a kid, super humid/hot, didn't have KP. Moved to canada and KP emerged.
I notice a huge difference every time I start a keto diet. For some reason carbs and sugar exacerbate the KP a lot.
Thanks for addressing hyperpigmentation associated with KP! I've had severe KP for so long that most of what appear to be bumps on my skin are actually just scars and hyperpigmentation from _past_ bumps. Don't think I've ever tried any form of vitamin A for my whole body, so thanks for recommending the OTC retinol lotion. I'll give it a go and see what happens.
I just started using a higher urea moisturizer everyday for the past month and it has made a world on difference for my KP. Thanks for the video! Lots of good recommendations!
Hi where did u get yours i try looking up in cvs they only have the eucerin urea in a bottle not in tub once thankyou
what do you use?
The Cetaphil one is really good, but hard to find where I live. So I always have to order it online. Like the Dr. said, it's lightweight and good for summer. It absorbs quickly too.
Appreciate you putting this knowledge online. What a wonder
Amazing information and presented perfectly! Thank you!
Thanks for the video, really helpful! Urea definitely the most helpful thing I've tried, and I look forward to seeing how KP Duty performs
How is it ❔
Hi doc, thanks for the information. From the many options, I’m just wondering which one should we use for a specific purpose? Like when is urea better to use than the acids? Thank you!
As always so informative!
Thank you so much!!!
You're the best ! Thanks!!
Gold bond rough and bumpy really helped me! It’s a bit sticky but worth it
This was helpful. Are there any body washes you recommend for KP? I was hoping to hear some ideas on this. Thank you
Hi doctor maybe you can talk about vitiligo and what to do or the over the counter meds and also eczema what can be done and over the counter meds. Thank you.
Perfect timing of this video, I had a stress induced picking session on my KP last night🙈😬,
Take care and hope the moisturizers help with the bumps!🙏
@@danielsugaimd Asslam Walaikum dr Sugai . I'm from UAE can u please do a video on olay luminous serum naicinimide + Vitamin c
Very informative~ I don't have the bumps any longer, but still have the redness, blotchy spots on my upper arms. Any advice what I could do to get rid of this?
I now feel very lucky knowing it can be really hard for some people to get rid of it - as I managed to get rid of mine within a couple of weeks by using Amlactin after showering in the morning and then a retinol body cream at bedtime. Sometimes I'd use the Isdin cream with Urea too. In the shower I use a glycolic acid wash on my body..
Can you share all the product details please
Would you suggest body lotions/creams with ammonium lactate for KP? That's what my dermatolgist recommended to me and I think it's helped me with my KP.
Thank you so much man
I would recommend Eucerin Urea Therapy. It is not sold in the US but if you can find a reputable seller online I'd get it. It has been the best thing for my KP and dark elbows. I have been dealing with KP for over 20 years and aside from a random combo I used in my early 20s that I have forgotten, this has been the most effective.
Please can Eucerin urea cream be used all over the body or is it recommended for only the affected area please?
@@ujubest2932 My dermatologist says it's fine to use anywhere but if you're sensitive to it, you might just want to put it on the affected area.
Glytone works the best for me. Love it.
My 2 year old daughter was just diagnosed with this thank you 🙏 for this info
Could you tell me what cream you used for your child?
First of all thank you for this very informative video Dr. I deal with KP on my upper arms. I don’t really notice new/raised bumps for about 9 months but the prior bumps have now turned to flat bump shaped discolorations and then there’s an overall darker discoloration to half of my upper arm. Will the otc retinol lotion alone possibly help that or would vitamin C possibly be worth a try also?
Dr. Daniel thank you for this informeand and can I just say that you are a beautiful person with gorgeous teeth?
All my family has kp, and when I was little, my classmates always asked me why I had brown bumps on my arms. I was insecure about it and scratched and pick at it. Now I have a bunch of scabs on my arms.😭
Thank you for these recommendations! I have hope! Lol
I´ve never seen or met a person that could get rid of it... Always thousends of videos from dermatologists that try to help and say how to fix this. Loved that you mentioned, that you cannot get rid of it completely. My personal dermatologist also says that you can only fix the roughness when touching the skin (NOT the way it looks), and that is true. Expirienced it myself.. Urea is the way to go but if i would stop using it... after one to two days it feels the same. It never changed the way it looks, what is the actual problem.
What bath soap do u recommend for KP?
What are your thoughts about Hydroquinone ?? I have been applying drugstore hydroquinone cream on my KP to reduce the appearance of dark spots (my legs are covered with KP and dark spots) and I have been seeing results within 2 months of use. Not a drastic change but the spots appears to get lighter
The moisturizers that you recommended, can you use those on your face?
Is there a like professional medical grade treatment/procedure that you can get done somewhere to help with it?
Thank you! Looking forward to trying your recommendations. Funny WA is where my KP started and when I moved back to HI it didn’t disappear and I’ve never been told what it is.🤦🏻♀️
It stayed with you from WA?! Nooo! Hope the moisturizers help 🤞
Thank you so much for this information, I've been living with kp for sometime now. This is really informative
Hi Dr Sugai! I also have KP, on my arms, but mostly on my face for the past couple months. Are those creams safe to apply on face too?
Thank you for that video! Raising awareness is so important!
Same that’s what I wanna know I have it on my arms too but some on my face that I want to get rid of also :/
Great question! I would be careful using the moisturizers with acids or urea on your face. I would stick to Sal acid moisturizer (take caution if you have sensitive skin though) and retinoids if you’re not pregnant.
@@danielsugaimd What would you recommend if we have sensitive skin? Thank you 😊
@@danielsugaimd hi dr.sugai is the lubiderm one safe for face thankyou
Love your channel❤🙃
Me too💖
Thank you so much 😊 🙏❤️

Hello doctor does this products work on every skin ?
I’m in my teens and I believe I have this, I’m unsure if I have it on my face as well or if it’s just acne but I have KP on my arms and legs down to my ankles.
Go on a Ketogenic diet and it will go away ruclips.net/video/gLRrqFPJ-PU/видео.html
I’ve been using the Cetaphil every day and my arms have definitely improved! I wanted to try that first to see how it went with my skin and it’s been good so far.
I’m going to try the exfoliate next and see how it goes!
Thank you for the recommendation!
Howd it go?
And how it go?
Any updates
How about showering.How often should you shower when you have kp? I did some research and it says every 2-3 days but I noticed that my skin can't wait that long before I start to itch a lil should I shower more often or just add some cream to the itchy areas?
Thank you! My KP has gotten exceptionally bad, covering my forearms and the back of my arms. Not only is my skin bumpy but it's red too. People asking if I have a sunburn. In the past I've had some luck with nizoral shampoo in reducing the appearance, but I think a moisturizer cream has been what's missing. I don't like moisturizers, I hate the feeling on my skin, but I guess I'll just suck it up because my body is clearly crying out for moisturizer. I live in ND, so skin can get especially dry and cracked here, in all seasons.
I got it for years, but by accident it's gone when I went to steam/sauna three times a week after a month it's totally gone for good.
Can we use the versed retinoid on a daily basis?? With any AHA?
I moved back to the Bay Area after 13 years in Houston and my skin went nuts all over. The humidity was absolutely great for my skin and now it's ashy with tons of irritated KP. Not fun!
Would you need to wear sunscreen on top of these moisturizers?
You haven't shown DerMend Moisturizing Bruise Formula in the video.
Thank you
In what order do I use these? Which should I use everyday? And what order? I have struggled with this my whole life and because of it I never wear t-shirts or shorts always sweaters and pants and I really want to wear clothes for summer but I'm embarrassed
Can you give me any advice on a granuloma annulare on my elbow. Doesn’t seem to go away. Not sure there is anything I can do for it.
ive tried the bath glove i tried the salicylic acid body wash and coconut oil body loction. can never get rid of it. It helps my skin feel better but the bumps and acne still there. i also tried changing my laundry detergent to sensitive skin
Can I use the urea on my face? If so I have been using a 40% one on Amazon but is that too much my face? Also can I use the scrubs on my face?
Hello what products are safe to treat KP while pregnant? Or should I wait until after pregnancy?
I've heard about people using chemical peels (mostly on arms and legs) to jumpstart the process. What are your thoughts on this?
personally never done a chemical peel myself but in my opinion when it comes to kp, that only sounds temporary
Should I use these products on my face?
Which one has the highest amount of urea?
I’m a 14 years old girl and I have combination skin so my cheeks are dry and I have kp on my face. I’m so confused about products and how to combine them. Will these products work on my combo skin too?
I have a lot of KP on my whole legs and arms. With all the acids, moisturizers, peelings etc. I finally don’t have the bumps anymore but I still have the very red dots. So it’s smooth to the touch but I still don’t feel comfortable in skirts etc. what helps with the red dots? IPL laser? Thank you! 💕
Saaaame the texture is gone ( which is amazing ) but the color is still there :(
How’d you get rid of the bumps?
@@sarukohli4729 Lots of Peelings and acids
May I ask why you moved from hawaii? My ob gyn moved from there as well.My husband wants to move there, but I’m afraid to take the leap.
When i was single i only had a couple but since i had babies it grows all over my arm and back. I'm trying castile bar soap (kirk's castile bar soap) for 2weeks now it seem to get lighter on my back plus i mix vitamin e with my lotion
What about Cerave is it useful?
I have KP too but I’ve noticed that in the spots where I’ve tanned quite a bit my arms, face, neck, and lower legs I don’t have it. I only have it on my torso and thighs. Is tanning a remedy?
Eucerin also carries a 30% urea lotion ❤
Dr, what if I'm breast feeding, can I use olay retinol 24 for my face
Do you think tretinoin is a good treatment for keratosis pilaris? I have it really bad on my butt and back and I think it’s gotten worse as I’ve tried to treat it. I don’t know if acids just don’t work for me but I think I also may have irritated it a few months ago and now it’s as bad as ever. I don’t know if I should stop using everything but Eucerin Roughness Relief Lotion and wait for it to heal or if I can keep using the CeraVe SA Body Wash I just got. I started it 6 days ago and I’m just so red. I’m also afraid to use only a moisturizer because I easily get acne like bumps if I don’t exfoliate my butt area.
It works great. I use tretinoin 0.1 on my face. Once a week, I treat my arms to a bit of tret mixed in with a bit of moisturiser. It’s obviously expensive but a little dot goes a long way and using it as little as once a week is really helpful. I also by glycolic acid lotion designed for the face but use it on a cotton pad to sweep my arms then apply Eucerin 10% or CeraVe SA lotion after the glycolic. I find the eucerin works best but I mix them up so the arms get a little salicylic acid every now and again. I keep my eucerin next to my bed and religiously apply it on my arms every single night without fail. I also use it in the morning sometimes. Consistency is key with KP. What could help as well is when you get home, change from jeans/trousers into soft materials like cotton joggers or pyjamas so your butt doesn’t get aggrevated by denim and other rough materials and the skin gets to breath. Any questions, please ask. I’ve been treating my KP for years and it never comes back unless I get a bout of depression and neglect my self care routines. Just to conclude, urea is brill, but use it every day if you can and if you can aford to use tret, use that too. ☺️
I have this on my upper legs and buttocks sometimes but mostly on my upper legs!!! It’s gotten worse and I have had it for a long time and it never goes away. Trying to get something to put on that’s prescribed not over the counter. My worse habit is picking at it making it look worse :(
hello! I have KP paired with rlly bad pigmentation (I am white and the pigmentation is a permanent darker/medium brown that stays the same even in the winter)-- I always chalked it up to sun damage, however I'm rlly not sure. It covers the majority of my shoulder and only on one. The KP is mainly only concentrated on the hyperpigmentation area, but still there on the fair areas, however are more red. Is this still KP? It doesn't look like the usually KP pictures I see on the internet in the terms of the dark hyperpigmentation areas, but the bumps match up? I won't be able to see a dermatologist for a few months until I'm home from college. I'm not really worried that its serious because I've had it for so long, and a few months ago I went to get a flu shot and the nurse very clearly saw it and didn't say anything like "oh have you gotten that checked out," but also I was there for a flu shot so idk. Anyways-- any insight would be appreciated!!
ive been told i have rosacea and ive been buying product for that for like past 2 years.
Other day i saw another Dermatologist she told me i have keratosis pilaris . I was searching on internet but i cudnt find what is the best face wash for someone with keratosis pilaris ?
I have so many scabs from itching… my skin is burning all the time.. it’s itchy and it’s super hot when I touch my skin. I’m so depressed I had beautiful smooth skin for 20 years and out of no where I have it all over my arms, and all of over my legs, even goes up to my cheeks on face. I hate my body now and I don’t know how this summer is goin to work 😫 It’s insane I have rosacea, eczema & KP. I hate myself now 💔 I barely touch the bumps and it spreads like a wild flower
Any thoughts on laser hair removal? A lot of my KP is around areas of wispy hair, and if KP clogs up hair follicles...? Have you seen pt's with folliculitis and KP together, thats what I feel I have. Does excessive sweating contribute to KP? I tend to sweat real bad a night. Thanks!
I’ve heard people talking about this and they have said that laser hair removal doesn’t do much for them. It keeps coming back
Which if any of those creams can I use on my 2 year old son's face?
How do we know it's kp and not regular Hair foliculitus? Mine looks just like kp but I've noticed on my right arm which is worse I'm missing hair and on my left arm which looks better I still have a lot of hair? Isn't kp supposed to go away or atleast lessen up? Mines only gotten worse, it started at 18 and now I'm 25.
What about products for the face ?
is this true that fish oil really helps kp?
What to use for KP and hyper-pigmentation on my butt from cycling?
Can I use versed on the face
Hey Doctor, I am 22 years old and have these horizontal grey lines across my forehead. What I find weird is whenever I wash my face those lines disappear but later on those come back (when my face becomes dry). Is there any way for me to get rid of it pls help
Is KP itchy ? Especially when i put warm compress?
Does KP itch? My arms don't hurt, everything seems fine aside from looking like i have goosebumps, but randomly, i have almost like a flare up and the "goosebumps" look way bigger and itch. Then after twenty or thirty minutes it goes away and I'm back to goosebump looking arms without any other symptom.
I had KP from my early 20’s and suffered through to my recent years. However having taking vitamin D tablets daily, the condition faded away over the period of a year. The cause may be a vitamin deficiency so it’s worth discussing with your health care providers.
Paramita hadir,fokus saja dokter,jalan terus,kita main aman❤😅
“Not dangerous, just stubborn” 😂❤💯
Do you get money from those product manufacturers ?
Should i still continue to use the 'rough and bumpy' type of lotions even if the bumps is already gone? Or i can use a generic moisturizer already.
How’d you get rid of the bumps?
What about the Cerave Psoriasis cream? it has a lot of the ingredients these products do
rvyntshubfwvu4fhu.blogspot.com/2024/06/understanding-keratosis-pilaris-causes.html
Has anyone had any luck with any of the creams and physical scrubs?
The Versed Retinol lotion is useless for KP 😢
ISDIN UREADIN 10 lotion and cream 20 or 30 are the go to products 😅 I'm 60 and developed KP 2 years ago...
I just turned 30 and I not only have it on my face-cheeks, but also the forearm!!
I’ve never seen anyone else have it on the forearm.
Obviously it’s in the backs of my arms too 🙄
im just like u
I live in a very humid state, am 38 and my KP is all over my arms.it spread from the shoulders and my upper arms down to the wrists. I feel so frustrated. I've tried many things. Luxury items to drugstore. It's gotten a little better after a month of aggressive treatment but it's still there and making me want to hide my arms. I'm in the beauty industry and it's unprofessional looking as well as hideous.
I have it soooo bad on my upper back. It makes me feel so insecure I can’t use back less dresses or spaghetti shirts
My toddler has them on the back of his arms😟
Hi, my KP rubra on my face is so severe. I am a makeup master but I want it lasered off. I have had two treatments of IPL which did absolutely nothing. Any advice? What laser will remove it from my cheeks? I am 31- this is not just a childhood issue!
I’d like to add texture is the least of my concerns. The redness is disfiguring and is my chief concern.
Try glycolic acid..only thing that works for my face
The gold bond one sucks. Doesnt absorb into the skin. It dries up and start to flake off
I hate the dermatologist I went too! He literally glanced and said oh yeah that’s KP there is no cure no treatment no nothing … he told me take 5-10 min showers and put coconut oil ever night… such wrong information
I just wanna say the Gold Bond has a very annoying sticky residue and I hate the smell. I much prefer CeraVe SA Cream for Rough & Bumpy Skin. No smell. No stick.
Keto diet helps to reduce/remove this problem. Check information about it and the main cause Hyperinsulinemia. The rest of the possible causes: dairy/gluten/eggs intolerance/ lack of vitamin D and vitamin A. You are welcome.😎
Untrue. I take supplements and have had this issue for as long as I can remember, before my teens for sure.
Keto diet is going to clog your arteries and shut down your kidneys eventually.
I will actually destroy you for recommending keto on a skincare video. Keto will not clear skin. At all. The reason KP happens is a build up of keratin. Eating fucking eggs does not cause keratin production, and if it did, that would be a good thing.
After years of dealing with KP since I was young, I cut dairy out after I became very lactose intolerant and also developed an allergy to dairy and, unexpectedly, my arms cleared up. It felt amazing because the first time I ever had smooth arms. I still get some on my thighs but I also have some issues with eggs, gluten and preservatives which I have once in a while… so they could be causing flare ups.
Misinformation
Can KP appear only on the feet
I’ve never heard of KP on the feet. It usually appears on the arms, upper legs, butt and face cheeks. It could be something else.
It could be dyshidroric eczema. If you google pictures you could compare with your issue and see if it’s similar. I have KP on my arms but DE on my toes (especially inbetween the toes). They can look similar I guess. DE will first appear as clear fluid filled little bumps and over a few days, they will crust up and turn red.
I've been having such bad panic attacks because of this. I just wish a doctor would say "yes it's definitely just KP, you're fine".
I had a sudden KP outbreak on my shin a few weeks ago after not washing my sheets for a while. I freaked out, took a much-needed shower, and washed all my bedding. Unfortunately I think it was mostly triggered by the dry cold air here in Colorado. It started showing up on my other leg, with some redness all over my body, which freaked me out, so I went to Urgent care. They said it was not Cellulitis (my biggest fear at the time) and gave me a topical steroid and oral steroid, both of which did nothing. I've also used antibacterial body wash with no effect.
I tried a humidifier but I used tap water, ran it non stop for a couple days while using my table fan, and my carpet wasn't the cleanest, so it gave me a sharp pain in my throat (near the lymphnodes on my collarbone, like the outside, not to swallow), possibly due to allergens or dust mites I'm guessing. After stopping using the humidifier I haven't felt that pain since.
Now I'm trying Amlactin lotion and Neem supplements, and trying to stay positive as I'm sure stress has caused a lot of these issues. I'm moving soon and starting a new job, so going to a dermatologist isn't an option for another couple months. I also bought a humidifier/air purifier combo and plan to use Distilled water only when that arrives Friday. Been eating healthier as well but the random itching/burning sensations are scary when they happen. No pain to touch and doesn't look fungal or bacterial, or like hives either.
Mmm. I don't believe you
remove the hair, eliminate KP, simple.
Unfortunately the plugs prevent the hair from coming to the surface. Not so simple.
@@jerzeygirl1280 Explain why the hair loss on my lower legs has caused the KP to vanish? The keratin gets stuck to the hair and builds up, creating the rough bump and irritates the folicle causing the redness. I'm not saying the hair is the cause of the sticky keratin, that has to be something else. But when the hair is removed, there is nothing left for the keratin to stick to. Therefore, no more bumps, no more red dots, no more visual problem. Trust me i know from experience. I am one of the lucky people that has it everywhere on my body. Stomach, chest, arms, face, legs, bum, back, scalp. Where i have lost hair on my body, the KP no longer exists.
@@jeff7279 everyone is different. I’ve been dealing with this since I was a teen. I’m not on here to argue and I’m not a professional but please don’t make it sound so simple because for some it is not. But congrats to you 👍
Its all the diet, stop wasting money on dermatology
so true had kp all my life changed my diet and its nearly gone without using any creams
40 y.o. guy here, same Asian skin tone as you, have had KP on my arms and back for as long as I remember. I used 2% salicylic acid Neutrogena body wash and applied Cerave SA lotion daily - with very minimal (maybe 15%) improvement after 6 weeks of use. I was tempted to switch to lactic acid (AmLactin) or urea-based lotion but instead opted for the "big guns" after I did my "research" on RUclips. As I do not have a dermatologist-friend (they can be quite cliquish), I asked my non-derm friend (we are both cardiologists) to prescribe me 0.1% tretinoin. Being the cheapskate that I am, I got the generic version (brand name is Taro) from Amazon pharmacy which is uber cheap but smells and feels cheap af (I am assuming Retin-A is odorless and absorbs better). 1 month into therapy of using it 2 days/week I have noticed modest improvement (maybe 35%) in my KP and surrounding erythema. I am optimistic that I will get better results with time and once I use it more frequently.
Dr. Sugai, my question is, do you recommend using tretinoin for KP? If so, is there a limit to the area that you can apply tretinoin? I have KP mostly on my upper arms and upper back - which is easily 4x the area of my face.
Hi because of your kidneys I dt think u should use trenitonin for your body . Use the cerave sa lotion morning & night & the cerave bar soap but if u really really feel u should use retinoid or trenitonin for your body maybe opt for bakuchiol which is safer and won’t affect your kidneys & liver
The neutrogena body wash is good for acne but for Kp it will dry you out but with cerave rough & bumpy bar soap u have salycylic acid, ceramides & hyaluronic acid. I feel that’s much better
I’ve always found Urea works far better than SA or LA. Lactic acid is dificult to find in a high enough dose (a derm once told me there’s a shortage of the ingredient as it’s used a lot on beauty/make-up products as well as skincare products so makeup companies always buy it all). Try using urea (eucerin 10% is brill) every single day and the tret twice a week. You need to balance out the tret with some moisture as the tret is drying. Using both will give you much better results.
