Reasons : - Vitamin A deficiency - Androgens on the skin &insulin in the blood - Consuming a lot of Omega6 fatty acids - Astrogen dominance PERFECT Remedy : Cod Liver Oil Good source of vitamins A+D &anti-inflammatory
I am from South Africa and I was struggling with that skin condition for 9 years. I have tried everything and nothing was working. I have followed your advice and it is gone 😭😭😭 you don’t understand how my skin condition almost destroyed my self confidence. Thank you.
Guys ! this really works ! I tried everything but since minimising my carbs and taking loads of omega 3, my keratosis pilaris is all gone 99%. Seriously ! Loads of veggies as well. Good luck
My daughter had been suffering from these “bumps” for years. Had gone to a dermatologist and prescribed 2 different creams that were really caustic to her skin and did more harm than good. Stumbled upon your video about a month ago. She started the Cod Liver oil without much hope and within a week her “bumps” are almost gone! Absolutely crazy that her Pediatrician or Dermatologist wouldn’t have recommended this. So happy you did!
I lost the bumps with glycolic acid exfoliant and cerave body lotion, I saw this on a skin care channel here. Amazing, in 2 days the bumps were almost totally gone.
Haha I’m sure he is growing a beard because HE likes it or wants to, good job he doesn’t care what you like or anyone else for that matter! Why do people think they have the right to judge someone else’s appearances and verbalise them?! Think what you like but to openly comment when your opinion is not even requested or warranted is laughable. Got any valuable comments in regards to the actual substance of his invaluable health information?! 🤷♀️
@@Mojojojo_21 How do you know your vitamin D levels are good? Do you get adequate sun exposure every day? The other main cause is gluten, go gluten free for 30 days and report back here with results plz.
It works! I've tried everything over the years including dermatologist prescribed lotions, nothing worked. So with zero expectations, I started taking 1100 mg cod liver oil once a day and was surprised to see results in a week; at two weeks, the backs of my arms are completely clear and smooth! I'm totally amazed. Thank you Dr. Berg!
Same here I've been taking cod liver oil for a few weeks now and I can feel a difference in my skin. The back of my lower legs were the worst and used to get really itchy. What iu is yours?
My KP magically dispeaaeared after being on keto for a few months. I scratched the back of my arm one day and it felt really smooth. I’ve had KP since I was in my 20s so it was an amazing surprise. I started keto to reverse NAFLD but it has cured my skin conditions and headaches. Amazing!
I had this and it really bothered me. The dermatologist gave me creams and things that never got rid of it. I started IF 2 months ago and eliminated all carbs and sugar and not only did this condition go away on the back of both of my arms, I had a toenail fungus on my big toe that happened when I injured my toe and this is also gone. Thank you Dr. Berg.
Whaaat? I’ve had this all my life. Got on IF, but they haven’t disappeared, though are reducing but not at the rate yours disappeared at. I’m shocked. Thanks for the info.
@@kasambakemarkachaka9319 I wasn’t even expecting this to clear up. I happened to notice my arms one day out of the shower and was shocked to see the bumps gone. Same with my toe. I had that fungus on my toe for a little over 7 years after I injured it pretty bad. And tried so many otc creams and anti fungals. It’s completely gone. I am more surprised than anyone.
@@csabo1725 Whether he’s a doctor or a elementary school janitor, the truth shared is based in science & factual. Don’t believe me, research his claims and test the remedies for yourself.
I’ve had this my entire life and in certain seasons it gets worse. It also got worse with all 4 of my pregnancies and the doctors told me it was not related to my hormones but I knew this wasn’t right. This has the best info I’ve seen on my many years of looking for answers to heal this issue instead of just trying to mask it or fix it from the outside. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Same!!! Holding my newborn and watching this like… wth do I do about my KP bumps?!? Cod liver fish oil on the way!! Also going to eat the diet you suggested. Thank you my good man!!
I've had that my whole life. Used powered soaps, luffas and scrubs and never seemed to help. I went on a clean keto diet a year ago and realized a few months back that I don't have the red bumps on every pore on my thighs or arms anymore. I figured my diet did it, but now I know why. Thanks Dr. Berg
I have always wondered what those bumps were. I went to the doctor for it as a child and I was told I had sensitive skin and instructed to start using Neutrogena Soap. The bumps didn't go away. Meanwhile, about a year ago I discovered that if I put organic coconut oil on the area the bumps fade and after a couple of days of repeating after showering the bumps disappear completely.
I used to be so embarrassed to wear short sleeves because of this and a bad habit of picking at them would leave some scabs or scar's. Thank you so much for this information! ☺️
Coconut Oil on the skin right after a shower works for me. After applying for about three days, I start to see a difference. I’m going to add the cod liver oil, (internally) etc.
I second this. I just recently started using coconut oil after showering and I noticed that my bumps are fading away so this works for me as well. I think it's the lactic acid in coconut oil that helps.
I had KP on my arms for years, my family has it too however, mine is not as severe as my family members. What I noticed is this, improving my diet, higher protein intake, less junk food, etc have all made massive improvement to my KP on my arms. I also noticed that showering in very hot water aggregates my KP so I would make sure that when I'm taking hot showers, I would not let my KP come into contact with the hot water. Instead I would switch to cold water and use soap to wash my arms. I still have KP on my arm but it's not as bad. Previously I tried medication and many other options but none of them worked... I wasted hundreds of dollars doing this. Fixing diet, moisturizing and showering my KP areas with cold water are what worked for me. In short, 1. Diet ( less junk food, higher protein intake ) 2. No hot water showers on KP areas 3. Moisturizer. I use a simple water-based moisturizer called "Hada Labo" It's from Japan.
You should avoid hot water showers for the sake of your hair and all of your skin. Warm is much better. Also, coconut oil is superior to any kind of lotions or creams. Hope this helps! It did for me 😊
I’ve been having this problem since I was little. It’s on the back of my arm and my legs. I always thought it was genetic since my mom also had it. This is exactly what I need right now. I've just placed an order, I’m hoping it can help turn my life around and make me feel better about my skin.
Dr. Berg, I remember when I began learning from you, back in 2017, you had said in a video that it would go away and for me it did go away. I began taking Cod Liver Oil capsules by Carlson within a couple of months after I began Keto/IF. Thank you.
When I started keto a lot of things got better and one of them was these goose bumps on my skin. It took a few months but my skin felt really soft. I got sidelined by bad advice and entered a long period of really dirty keto and one of the first things to come back was the skin problems and bleeding gums. It took me more than a year to realise I need fat in my diet to keep the carbs away. Still working on it. Great video. And thanks for another video in which you said to always eat at least 75 grams of fat a day. It helped me to refocus.
Wow I’ve looked for this theme, always been wondering what is behind my KP, it gets worse every day. I’ve tried many types of skin care products but nothing ever worked. Even the Google never had a clear information about it. Thank you Dr. for bringing that out. This video just saved me. Keep up with these kind of great videos. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Quitting dairy was one thing that worked for me. All the expensive Rx creams, scrubs did nothing but aggravate it. I only use Nivea to moisturize but it’s completely clear since I changed my diet almost 10 years ago!
Yes it is hereditary. I have it, my Mom has it and my grandfather has. I've just learned to live with but will definitely consider the information in this video.
Just a little suggestion. I am a holistic master esthetician of almost 4 decades and I agree with Dr B. I also have my Clients exfoliate daily by either dry brushing or using a body brush with their body wash in the shower. I then have them use a sugar scrub ( not salt) or an oil before drying off. A few other tips are head and shoulders in the dark blue bottle and applying Monistat 7 classic( yes it works, anti fungal) all of those and diet have helped my clients get rid of Keratosis Pilaris completely. Many times the skin being thick or calloused is also an issue and or we have activated or left an opening for the natural fungus and bacteria on our skin. Just some extra skin love. Blessings to all of you 🍑🙌🏻🧡Lisa
You are absolutely right, my mom has them, i have them and one of my daughters now too. I actually thought everybody has them, that it was a normal thing.
I've had this skin issue since I was a child. It would be on the back of my arms and all over my legs. It made me very self conscious as a teen because girls would make fun of how gross my legs looked. I knew shaving made my condition worse so I never shaved or used chemical shaving creams. Luckily I'm blonde so my hair isn't super obvious, but I remember growing up and believing I would never find someone who would love me because I couldn't make my legs smooth and pretty. Like the ONLY thing a guy cares about are baby butt smooth legs 😂
@night fall what type of brand were you using? Can it be over the counter or prescription? I have super dark hair and fair skin so it’s very obvious all over my legs. Please help!
I got my under control by the advice of skin nurse and doctor here on RUclips. Exfoliate and use cerave the smothing cream . My skin is smooth. You can look at contents about such on RUclips video you will find many help.
I have that and also fatty liver from eating too much carbs but I’m not fat. Too many toxins in my body .I have all the symptoms he mentioned. His explanation is spot on !
I have been battling KP for 40+ years. The only thing that has kept it at bay is Tretinoin .05%, but if I don't apply it for more than a day, my arms begin to break out again. Thank you, Dr. Berg. None of my Dr.'s have ever explained the root causes of KP. I am going out tomorrow to purchase cod liver oil!
I tried so many things, expensive products too. Only one thing helped me. Wishing a few day my skin was so smooth, I couldn't believe it. OLIVE OIL! after you shower, moisturize your damp (not wet) skin with olive oil. It will be gone and you will thank me.
@@luckyangel943 Try watching Mindy Perez, my fasting routine is skip breakfast, then have late lunch (2pm) and small dinner. Eat Mediterranean diet, but i still have macdonalds about 1 or 2 times per week. 😅.
I have struggled with this condition for years. I feel like I’ve tried everything. Taking a Vitamin A supplement didn’t work because of my fatty liver. I started taking 500mg of TUDCA (liver cleanser) in the morning, and only then did the Vitamin A make any difference. I would estimate an 80% reduction in bumps. Give it a try is Vitamin A alone isn’t working.
I’m suffering from this sickness long time, tried so many creams , still changes nothing! I will try your method Doc ! I will post back the results...thanks
I was just born to have this condition. I'm glad there was an explanation because I was never able to find one looking it up. Very clear and now I know how to go about treating it.
I have had this issue since I was about 11. It's all over my legs, arms, sides etc. It got worse over the years. On top of it, I have ingrown hair. My body hair would be curly, but can not longer even see most of the hair on my arms bcuz of this skin condition, it makes it harder for my curly body hair to grow. End up with insane amount of ingrown hair. It has really brought down my quality of life. I could go into all the details of why, but instead, I just want to say THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! If this works for me, this will literally change my life!!!
I had chicken skin, I always thought the product that I used for shaving caused the problem and I had to use clindamycin to prevent ,but ever since I am on keto, it is almost 3.5 months, It's gone, thank you 🥺♥️
Using a loofah while showering and glycerine after has worked for me. Also lactic acid containing moisturizer. Going low carb also helped bc those dotted raised bumps are flat and less conspicuous now.
I scrubbed away with the loofah like no tomorrow when I was younger because I was so fed up with this LOL, now it's very mild and I take one Omega 3 fish oil daily which has helped lots with my skin...maybe I'll try what he suggests too, I also use an exfoliating glove and a good body scrub (Hempz) now.
Loofahs hold onto germs and bacteria, they are dirty after the first use. A more hygienic way to clean yourself is with a freshly laundered washcloth. How can you be clean when you’re using something that was all over your dirty body yesterday and the day before and the day before.
I had this my whole life...I am 42. I cut sugar out sugar by 80% and my skin cleared up within 6 months. I also have muscular dystrophy and my feet are deformed and break out very easily. My toes would stretch and the skin underneath would break. Loosing the sugar cleared this almost immediately...4 years in with no breakout. Its a life change. This isn't a diet..it's a lifestyle.
I'm 35 years old now and I already had this skin condition since I was a child (always thought it's genetic since my mother and my brother have the same condition). In the past I got some lotions from dermatologists, but nothing was a game changer. Some years ago I drastically reduced gluten because of stomach problems and the crazy side effect was, that I had clear skin on my arms after 3 weeks of diet. I also suffer from PCOS and insulin resistance and now I wonder if I've had insulin problems in my childhood already.
I have PCOS too and I believe I have insulin problem too. My mom is diabetic, so I think I am pre diabetic. 😔 I also have obesity, I cut down a lot of food and I don’t drink milk for 5+ years I also don’t eat bread. I have sensitive stomach so I can’t have fast food often. The reason behind my skin is mostly due to emotional stress, high insulin and obesity. I walk a lot, go to the gym which I started 3 months ago, and I have been on diet control for 5 months.
My daughter 11 yr old and me both have the same condition. Recently i started supplementing her with vegan EPA &DHA and her condition has totally subsided while mine remains . I started on DIM and eating a whole raw carrot daily without fail, for estrogen dominance a while ago and i can really see some difference .
@@yujyuj2957 i dont know. Doctor prescribed me against protozoans. There might a lot of them if you never received treatment throughout your life. Most probably you have them too. Ask you doctor.
My gallbladder was removed more than 5 years ago. Now I've developed these pumpy skin situation. Thank Doctor, now I know what I'm dealing with. NB&** Mine is not red because I'm black, but its a similar.
Thank you for all your amazing videos and information! I did keto with intermittent fasting to try to heal a hematoma and bursitis I was left with up to 9 months after hip replacement. Multiple doctors told me at that point nothing but a steriod shot would help.. 1.5 weeks into the diet plan, and my pain was FINALLY gone! I've been doing this since Jan 22 with only 3 cheat meals and the pain never did return! Before this, I couldn't lift my left without yhe help of my arms and walking upstairs was impossible. Now I am 120%! On another note, could you please do a video on melasma! Thank you!
I actually just had my appointment with my rheumatogist this morning! He's ordering me to do another ultrasound to see if it is really healed. He dismissed my diet comments lol but I'm sure that's what did it. Canada takes forever for ultrasound but I will update with my results! Pain is finally gone anyway!
Very interesting video, thank you! In my late teens and early 20's, I had KP on my thighs and upper arms. No idea what they were at the time. But I went on a trip to Jamaica (not my first) and I decided that "this time" I would not use any toxic sunscreens on my skin, only virgin coconut oil. I never did any "sunbathing" (on purpose), I mostly stayed in the shade, except when I was in the water... and after 10 days, my KP was virtually gone (no sunburn, either) and has not come back since. That made me believe that it could've been caused by a vitamin D deficiency... yes, coconut oil and the salt water also probably helped!
Passing along my journey how i got rid of my bumps. Got rid of my bumps by not using a wash cloth on my skin any longer. Just my hand and maybe once a month use a wash cloth all over. And I also wash my body with avocado oil. Listened to a pediatrician in England that he discussed how rough we are with our skin and cause so many more issues for it. He recommended an oil to wash bc typically body washes are terrible for our skin. Then he said to use your hand. I’ve been doing it for over a year and my skin is completely different and soft!!! Good luck everyone who struggles with this!!! I know I struggled my whole life until a year ago
My parents took me to a dermatologist when I was a young child. He said it is blocked hair ducts and recommended exfoliating and moisturiser 2 times a day. I did notice in the summer at the beach and river trips it cleared a little. But I’m 52 and still have this.
Oh my God!! It is as if you read my mind Dr. Berg I was thinking about asking you regarding this KP. I opened youtube to ask you and viola! You already uploaded the video an hour ago 😄
I have chicken skin since July 2021, when I was on my vacation and under the sun. When I am under the sun it becomes itchy and gets worse. Thank you Dr. Berg for this info.
@abraKvavra Actually I love going to beach but during pandemic I stay at home like 1 and half year. And last year, finally can travel and I went to the beach. It was my first time to experience chicken skin on my chest part and shoulder area. Luckily, I watch this video and I will try this COD liver oil. Thank you also for sharing your experience. I will cover myself and put SPF.
He said in an old video that vitamin d must be balanced with omega 3. It’s true for me. I see that if I expose my skin to the sun more than a few minutes it will burn unless have eaten enough omega 3 (cans of cod liver).
To all the remedies mentioned by Dr. Berg, I would strongly recommend adding vitamin K2 supplements to the regime, for me it was the most significant factor in reducing KP by 80 percent. I took atleast 100 mcg a day, plus I stopped using body washes that contain soap, since in contact with the hard water in my area it was causing cloged pores on the back of the arms and back, which would lead to more dry skin, folliculits and scabs.
I started getting crazy dry skin in my late 30’s. I went on a keto diet (not knowing the connection with carbs and dry skin) and my skin completely changed. Now anytime my skin starts getting really dry I know I need to cut back on carbs and sugars!! I knew skin tags were associated with being overweight and diabetes but didn’t realize why. Thanks for the education!
In the Netherlands we eat a lot of dairy products. And 50% of this condition is from eating to much dairy. So stop eating yogurt and cheese etc. And you will see that it goes away as snow in front of the sun ☺️
I feel like yogurt and cheese are good things. Both are cultured dairy products so they're better than straight up milk. Cheese has CLA, lots of protein and fat and minimal carbs. Yogurt has been shown to be good for the gut microbiome, I think it was like the only truly prebiotic food if I recall correctly
I was developing the Keratosis on my arms and one leg. So, at Dr. Berg's suggestion, I started taking cod liver oil tablets. It didn't happen immediately, but rather, it took a few weeks. But eventually, it started clearing up. Cod liver oil seems to have worked like a dream for me. 🙂
@@emanghazal7496 It's gone away, but I've continued to take the cod liver oil. My parents grew up at a time (during the 1940s) when they were given a spoonful of cod liver oil every week. So, there's definitely something in the virtues of cod liver oil. I can't remember exactly how long it took. But I'd guess at maybe two to three weeks. At any rate, it's still gone. I take two caplets every day, each having 550 mg of cod liver oil and 400 IU of vitamin D3. Hope that helps! 🙂
I enjoyed your thoughts and I love how you essentially speak holistically🙌🏻 in my almost 4 decades I have helped my clients heal their skin by only holistic means. With keratosis I also teach my clients to exfoliate daily while they wash their bodies. I have them use a Body brush either to dry brush or apply their body wash to it. I also tell them to dry off soft, either using a sugar scrub ( not salt) before final rinse or an oil. A few other tricks are Head and shoulders in the dark blue bottle Monistat 7 classic for anti fungal And corn starch. I am going to add the cod liver oil. Thank you Dr B 🍑🙌🏻🧡Lisa
This makes a lot of sense. I had issues with this when I was younger and never found a doctor who addressed it correctly. Over the years I've had minor flairups from time to time. Diabetes also runs on my dad's side of the family and I was gestationally diabetic. As I'm getting older I've stated having concerns there as well. Thank you for all your informative videos. I haven't been to a doctor in over 7 years. They've pretty much proven worthless.
Just completed a 72 hr fast an feel very calm an positively motivation ,very lean foods for 2 days no carbs an no fat helps rebuild an regrow new healthy bacteria 3 years ago I began a keto life no turning back it is the best for me intermittent fasting with prolong fasting rebalancing the foods I eat for macros
I have had this skin condition my entire life...both of my kids have it too. These issues don't always mean we are deficient in vitamins and/or nutrients. The water we bathe/shower in, wash clothes with and use for food or drinks has a large part to play in the condition of our skin. Sure it's clean, clear and drinkable *but* just because it's clear and labeled drinkable doesn't mean it's good or healthy for us to drink *or* use for food and washing. There are chemicals that your local water treatment plant puts in the water to kill bacteria and other microbes or viruses. Then we have the chemicals that are hidden within the water and deposited in it from the water leaching from farmers fields, that goes into the ground water and local water table which then makes its way into the drinking water. Pesticides, Herbicides and whatever other chemicals they spray on their crops.
Years ago, my husband decided to wash his long hair with yoghurt to see if it would fix his dandruff. It did. The regular rinsing out of the yogurt under the shower also then completely fixed the chicken skin that he'd had for years on his back and arms. A surprise bonus! Easy, cheap, natural.
Oh don't you love when this happens haha. This is how I got rid of a wart I had on my finger. I kept squeezing lemons to make lemonade one summer, I think I did it for about 3 days. It dried it out and it fell.
Not only are you brilliant on every single video, but you are one FINE looking man🥰🥰🥰 I feel such comfort whenever I find your vids on any given topic because I know you’ll always serve it straight up👌♥️
I love how my pediatrician saw my daughter for 5 minutes and said she’ll be fine just use hydrocortisone cream. No bedside manner. I felt like cattle just in and out. Thank you Dr. Berg for explaining the underlying cause and not just saying treat your symptoms with a topical anti-itch cream.
I had it all through childhood into my adult years until my diet changed. As a child we ate a lot of fast food & processed carbs. My skin really does reflect my diet.
I hope this works, would be life changing. I was diagnosed with Celiac disease in 2013. Right round 2009/10 when I first started getting sick my KP got so so so bad and although I’ve been strictly gluten free for 9 years, nothing has helped. Not a low carb diet, not exfoliation or acid washes or copious amounts of creams or lotion. Spring is almost here and I’m dreading short sleeves. I’ve never seen someone with KP as awful as mine and I miss wearing sleeveless dresses and tank tops. I hope the cod liver oil works, I’ll give it a try. Thank you for the video!
Dr. Berg this was so informative!! I never had keratosis pilaris before I used accutane. After my course of 80mg for 7 months, I started developing these bumps on my outer arms. When I asked my doctor, she said I should just exfoliate more- which hardly did anything! I've been off accutane for two years now, the cystic acne came back (found out the cause was PCOS, so accutane was actually inappropriate) and paying closer attention to my diet and health and it's mostly clear! I didn't even realize why! Thank you so much for talking about ROOT CAUSES rather than just how to cover it up!!
I had this as a kid until I was in my late 20’s - early 30’s. I remember my doctor told me to use Am-Lactin. That didn’t help. Exfoliating didn’t help. I finally just grew out of it.
I can’t believe celiac disease isn’t mentioned. I suffered from this skin condition since I was a small child (as well as my daughter). I found out about 2 yrs ago that both of us have celiac disease and we completely cut gluten. Skin issues Vanished within a few weeks. Direct correlation to gluten intolerance/allergy and skin issues. Try cutting gluten if you suffer from this and I can almost guarantee it will improve greatly, if not completely
Thank you Dr. Berg, my doctor gave me an expensive cream to apply 3 times a day- totally unsustainable! Can’t wait to add cod liver oil to my keto diet!
It really is all coming together for me the more I learn about how these things are connected. Keratosis pilaris has always been a problem since I was a child. Had weight problems all my life, yo-yo-dieting, the classics. Gall-bladder removed when I was 23. Vitamin D deficiency got mentioned a few years ago. Lots of stress due to uni and work, especially lately, then corona hit. Now I'm 32 and just got diagnosed woth pcos... Made changes to my diet and exercise already and I'll add cod liver oil on top.
OMG!!!!!!!! Yaaaaaaaasssss finally information about this topic!!!! I suffer severely from KP and no dermatologist can seem to help me 😓 I have depression because I hate my skin and I feel ugly
Dude. This guy is in my brain. There’s a question in my mind for a day or two and boom. Very releases a video on it. I swear it’s happened once a week for the last 3 months
I think cod liver oil can be a legit remedy for KP! If you need another sign to give it a try: this is your sign. My background/testimony: I have atopic skin and I've had KP ever since I was a kid on mainly upper arms and entire legs, which caused me a lot of suffering as a teen (as it does), now I'm 22. I've tried all kinds of lotions, oils, baths, exfoliating creams and brushes and whatnot over the years. I started taking cod liver oil this year (2022) february 3rd; by march 11th I noticed that my skin had become significantly softer, and now at april 18th it's even more soft/smooth while the redness is much more faded.
Thanks Dr Berg. I've had this condition since childhood. I take imadeen tablets, which are rich in fish extracts, to keep this under control and now I know why this works. I'll add the cod liver oil to it.
I felt incredible on a low-carb/ keto diet. However, My hair and nails turned brittle, dry and my hair thinned out. This might sound crazy, but when I added grains back to my diet, my hair and nails started to grow at a rapid rate. I don't understand what the connection is 😩
How much Cod Liver oil should you take everyday? Or should you eat it everyday since your body stores the vitamin D and slowly releases it when deficien? I've have been wondering about this ever since I started eating it to your advice for myself and for my almost 3 year old daughter.
I can tell you that I see great results with at least 2 cans of wild caught cod liver a week in summer and each can provides around 7 tablespoons of cod liver oil additionally to the liver piece.
I take a tablespoon every day following dinner. I take Norwegian, minimally processed, with lemon flavor. I just can’t do the unflavored. Plus my wife and I love seafood and eat it often. Icelandic CLO is also excellent.
Reasons :
- Vitamin A deficiency
- Androgens on the skin &insulin in the blood
- Consuming a lot of Omega6 fatty acids
- Astrogen dominance
PERFECT Remedy : Cod Liver Oil
Good source of vitamins A+D
&anti-inflammatory

How many mg of COD liver or fish oil?
But I don't like fish
My daughter had been suffering from these “bumps” for years. Had gone to a dermatologist and prescribed 2 different creams that were really caustic to her skin and did more harm than good. Stumbled upon your video about a month ago. She started the Cod Liver oil without much hope and within a week her “bumps” are almost gone! Absolutely crazy that her Pediatrician or Dermatologist wouldn’t have recommended this. So happy you did!
I lost the bumps with glycolic acid exfoliant and cerave body lotion, I saw this on a skin care channel here. Amazing, in 2 days the bumps were almost totally gone.
what also causes them to disappear is decent amounts of sunlight, for whatever reason
How much cod liver oil did she take
@@mysterical- she takes 1 pill twice a day. Additionally she exfoliates and uses lotion. But the cod liver has been amazing for her!

That's most likely because the inflammation reaction in your gut had been using up your vitamin A!
How long it took to go away?
Same!!
It works! I've tried everything over the years including dermatologist prescribed lotions, nothing worked. So with zero expectations, I started taking 1100 mg cod liver oil once a day and was surprised to see results in a week; at two weeks, the backs of my arms are completely clear and smooth! I'm totally amazed. Thank you Dr. Berg!
What brand?
Same here I've been taking cod liver oil for a few weeks now and I can feel a difference in my skin. The back of my lower legs were the worst and used to get really itchy. What iu is yours?
@Grey_Wind were you take it as a supplement or as oil?
@@waleeddish supplement tablets yeah
do i eat it or what?
My KP magically dispeaaeared after being on keto for a few months. I scratched the back of my arm one day and it felt really smooth. I’ve had KP since I was in my 20s so it was an amazing surprise. I started keto to reverse NAFLD but it has cured my skin conditions and headaches. Amazing!
That's amazing thank you for sharing.
Mine disappeared once (but now I have it back) I mean no bumps but it it left dark spots. What about yours?
Super 👍 thank you so much for sharing.
Correlation ≠ causation but I’m glad it’s gone for you
I'm on Keto. Have a regular period for the first time in my life. Haven't noticed KP change yet but look forward to it!!
I had this and it really bothered me. The dermatologist gave me creams and things that never got rid of it. I started IF 2 months ago and eliminated all carbs and sugar and not only did this condition go away on the back of both of my arms, I had a toenail fungus on my big toe that happened when I injured my toe and this is also gone. Thank you Dr. Berg.
So cool 👍 thank you for sharing!
Whaaat? I’ve had this all my life. Got on IF, but they haven’t disappeared, though are reducing but not at the rate yours disappeared at. I’m shocked. Thanks for the info.
What helped me is having enough sun exposure and taking cod liver oil
@@kasambakemarkachaka9319 I wasn’t even expecting this to clear up. I happened to notice my arms one day out of the shower and was shocked to see the bumps gone. Same with my toe. I had that fungus on my toe for a little over 7 years after I injured it pretty bad. And tried so many otc creams and anti fungals. It’s completely gone. I am more surprised than anyone.

This has the best info I’ve seen on my many years of looking for answers to heal this issue instead of just trying to mask it or fix it from the outside. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Same here! Each of my pregnancies, it flared up. I knew it was hormonal.

Any progress?

Same!!! Holding my newborn and watching this like… wth do I do about my KP bumps?!? Cod liver fish oil on the way!! Also going to eat the diet you suggested. Thank you my good man!!
I've had that my whole life. Used powered soaps, luffas and scrubs and never seemed to help. I went on a clean keto diet a year ago and realized a few months back that I don't have the red bumps on every pore on my thighs or arms anymore. I figured my diet did it, but now I know why. Thanks Dr. Berg
Why?
I have always wondered what those bumps were. I went to the doctor for it as a child and I was told I had sensitive skin and instructed to start using Neutrogena Soap. The bumps didn't go away. Meanwhile, about a year ago I discovered that if I put organic coconut oil on the area the bumps fade and after a couple of days of repeating after showering the bumps disappear completely.
Did you say a couple of days!!
@@feel_less Yes, I could even tell the next morning that the bumps were clearing up. So I kept using it. After a couple days my arms were clear.
@@chrismolina-personal5077 how do you get coconut oil or did you use a shampoo
What make/brand of organic coconut oil was that out of interest?
Isn't coconut oil comodeginc
I used to be so embarrassed to wear short sleeves because of this and a bad habit of picking at them would leave some scabs or scar's. Thank you so much for this information! ☺️
This was me too
Me too. I used to hate summer and never wears short sleeve shirts or short pants.
I was obsessed with mine and used razor blades, sandpaper and knife blades to scrape at my skin. It did nothing but make my arm swell
Coconut Oil on the skin right after a shower works for me. After applying for about three days, I start to see a difference. I’m going to add the cod liver oil, (internally) etc.
I second this. I just recently started using coconut oil after showering and I noticed that my bumps are fading away so this works for me as well. I think it's the lactic acid in coconut oil that helps.
Same here after only three weeks of using coconut oil my skin is smoother than it’s been in years
@@cher43615 cooking coconut oil? Or a lotion?

I had KP on my arms for years, my family has it too however, mine is not as severe as my family members. What I noticed is this, improving my diet, higher protein intake, less junk food, etc have all made massive improvement to my KP on my arms. I also noticed that showering in very hot water aggregates my KP so I would make sure that when I'm taking hot showers, I would not let my KP come into contact with the hot water. Instead I would switch to cold water and use soap to wash my arms.
I still have KP on my arm but it's not as bad. Previously I tried medication and many other options but none of them worked... I wasted hundreds of dollars doing this. Fixing diet, moisturizing and showering my KP areas with cold water are what worked for me.
In short,
1. Diet ( less junk food, higher protein intake )
2. No hot water showers on KP areas
3. Moisturizer. I use a simple water-based moisturizer called "Hada Labo" It's from Japan.
You should avoid hot water showers for the sake of your hair and all of your skin. Warm is much better. Also, coconut oil is superior to any kind of lotions or creams. Hope this helps! It did for me 😊
Thank you 😊
I’ve been having this problem since I was little. It’s on the back of my arm and my legs. I always thought it was genetic since my mom also had it. This is exactly what I need right now. I've just placed an order, I’m hoping it can help turn my life around and make me feel better about my skin.

@@feel_less really
Do u remember what the mg was??
When I started keto a lot of things got better and one of them was these goose bumps on my skin. It took a few months but my skin felt really soft. I got sidelined by bad advice and entered a long period of really dirty keto and one of the first things to come back was the skin problems and bleeding gums. It took me more than a year to realise I need fat in my diet to keep the carbs away. Still working on it. Great video. And thanks for another video in which you said to always eat at least 75 grams of fat a day. It helped me to refocus.
What's dirty keto?
@@zye.... with lots of toxins in it, like not organic, gmos, ect. Dr Berg made videos on this, you can look “Dr Berg” “dirty keto”.
Always informative and explained in an easy to digest format. Best source of health information on the internet!!
It's vitamin d deficiency
Wow
I’ve looked for this theme, always been wondering what is behind my KP, it gets worse every day. I’ve tried many types of skin care products but nothing ever worked. Even the Google never had a clear information about it. Thank you Dr. for bringing that out. This video just saved me. Keep up with these kind of great videos. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Quitting dairy was one thing that worked for me. All the expensive Rx creams, scrubs did nothing but aggravate it. I only use Nivea to moisturize but it’s completely clear since I changed my diet almost 10 years ago!
Interesting that I developed this during the decline of my marriage and divorce and it went away afterwards.
Keratosis pilaris tends to run in families.
Severity often varies with the seasons.
Women are slightly more likely to develop KP than men.
Maybe cause of estrogen & it’s involvement in gallbladder- bile 🤷🏼♀️
Thanks for this informarion.
Yes it is hereditary. I have it, my Mom has it and my grandfather has. I've just learned to live with but will definitely consider the information in this video.
Just a little suggestion. I am a holistic master esthetician of almost 4 decades and I agree with Dr B. I also have my Clients exfoliate daily by either dry brushing or using a body brush with their body wash in the shower. I then have them use a sugar scrub ( not salt) or an oil before drying off. A few other tips are head and shoulders in the dark blue bottle and applying Monistat 7 classic( yes it works, anti fungal) all of those and diet have helped my clients get rid of Keratosis Pilaris completely. Many times the skin being thick or calloused is also an issue and or we have activated or left an opening for the natural fungus and bacteria on our skin. Just some extra skin love.
Blessings to all of you 🍑🙌🏻🧡Lisa
You are absolutely right, my mom has them, i have them and one of my daughters now too. I actually thought everybody has them, that it was a normal thing.
Hi Dr. Berg…CAN YOU PLEASE DO A VIDEO ON SEBORREIC KERATOSIS?…that would be wonderful!!!
I've had this skin issue since I was a child. It would be on the back of my arms and all over my legs. It made me very self conscious as a teen because girls would make fun of how gross my legs looked. I knew shaving made my condition worse so I never shaved or used chemical shaving creams. Luckily I'm blonde so my hair isn't super obvious, but I remember growing up and believing I would never find someone who would love me because I couldn't make my legs smooth and pretty. Like the ONLY thing a guy cares about are baby butt smooth legs 😂
Godbless you !
@night fall so you mean vitamin a did work with you right?
@night fall what type of brand were you using? Can it be over the counter or prescription? I have super dark hair and fair skin so it’s very obvious all over my legs. Please help!

I have been battling KP for 40+ years. The only thing that has kept it at bay is Tretinoin .05%, but if I don't apply it for more than a day, my arms begin to break out again. Thank you, Dr. Berg. None of my Dr.'s have ever explained the root causes of KP. I am going out tomorrow to purchase cod liver oil!
Have you bought it?

I have struggled with this condition for years. I feel like I’ve tried everything. Taking a Vitamin A supplement didn’t work because of my fatty liver. I started taking 500mg of TUDCA (liver cleanser) in the morning, and only then did the Vitamin A make any difference. I would estimate an 80% reduction in bumps. Give it a try is Vitamin A alone isn’t working.

Could me please tell me also sis
I appreciate you, because you deal with root causes of health issues. We can do the same for other areas of our life.
Using a loofah while showering and glycerine after has worked for me. Also lactic acid containing moisturizer. Going low carb also helped bc those dotted raised bumps are flat and less conspicuous now.
I also do this it works!
So what not to eat like wheat , bread and ?
Im diabetic and haven't been so lucky with the loofah and low carb I'll look for lactic acid in my moisturizer and talk to my diabetes Dr.
I scrubbed away with the loofah like no tomorrow when I was younger because I was so fed up with this LOL, now it's very mild and I take one Omega 3 fish oil daily which has helped lots with my skin...maybe I'll try what he suggests too, I also use an exfoliating glove and a good body scrub (Hempz) now.
Loofahs hold onto germs and bacteria, they are dirty after the first use. A more hygienic way to clean yourself is with a freshly laundered washcloth. How can you be clean when you’re using something that was all over your dirty body yesterday and the day before and the day before.
You made my day dr, I have been suffering from this most of my adult life
I had this my whole life...I am 42. I cut sugar out sugar by 80% and my skin cleared up within 6 months. I also have muscular dystrophy and my feet are deformed and break out very easily. My toes would stretch and the skin underneath would break. Loosing the sugar cleared this almost immediately...4 years in with no breakout. Its a life change. This isn't a diet..it's a lifestyle.
I'm 35 years old now and I already had this skin condition since I was a child (always thought it's genetic since my mother and my brother have the same condition). In the past I got some lotions from dermatologists, but nothing was a game changer. Some years ago I drastically reduced gluten because of stomach problems and the crazy side effect was, that I had clear skin on my arms after 3 weeks of diet. I also suffer from PCOS and insulin resistance and now I wonder if I've had insulin problems in my childhood already.
I have PCOS too and I believe I have insulin problem too. My mom is diabetic, so I think I am pre diabetic. 😔 I also have obesity, I cut down a lot of food and I don’t drink milk for 5+ years I also don’t eat bread. I have sensitive stomach so I can’t have fast food often. The reason behind my skin is mostly due to emotional stress, high insulin and obesity. I walk a lot, go to the gym which I started 3 months ago, and I have been on diet control for 5 months.
My daughter 11 yr old and me both have the same condition. Recently i started supplementing her with vegan EPA &DHA and her condition has totally subsided while mine remains .

Very interesting video, thank you! In my late teens and early 20's, I had KP on my thighs and upper arms. No idea what they were at the time. But I went on a trip to Jamaica (not my first) and I decided that "this time" I would not use any toxic sunscreens on my skin, only virgin coconut oil. I never did any "sunbathing" (on purpose), I mostly stayed in the shade, except when I was in the water... and after 10 days, my KP was virtually gone (no sunburn, either) and has not come back since. That made me believe that it could've been caused by a vitamin D deficiency... yes, coconut oil and the salt water also probably helped!
coconut oil is said to help with it . lots of people report that
I agree as other commenters also shared similar experiences. Thank you so much for sharing!
Passing along my journey how i got rid of my bumps. Got rid of my bumps by not using a wash cloth on my skin any longer. Just my hand and maybe once a month use a wash cloth all over. And I also wash my body with avocado oil. Listened to a pediatrician in England that he discussed how rough we are with our skin and cause so many more issues for it. He recommended an oil to wash bc typically body washes are terrible for our skin. Then he said to use your hand. I’ve been doing it for over a year and my skin is completely different and soft!!! Good luck everyone who struggles with this!!! I know I struggled my whole life until a year ago
My parents took me to a dermatologist when I was a young child. He said it is blocked hair ducts and recommended exfoliating and moisturiser 2 times a day. I did notice in the summer at the beach and river trips it cleared a little. But I’m 52 and still have this.
Oh my God!!
It is as if you read my mind Dr. Berg
I was thinking about asking you regarding this KP. I opened youtube to ask you and viola! You already uploaded the video an hour ago 😄
I have chicken skin since July 2021, when I was on my vacation and under the sun. When I am under the sun it becomes itchy and gets worse. Thank you Dr. Berg for this info.
@abraKvavra I think that might be heat rash, sometime takes a coule of years to gget rid of, kee sunscreened and out of strong sunlight
Might be the sun allergy! Don't forget your spf. Taking Calcium supplement before summer hits can help a lot 😊
@abraKvavra Actually I love going to beach but during pandemic I stay at home like 1 and half year. And last year, finally can travel and I went to the beach. It was my first time to experience chicken skin on my chest part and shoulder area. Luckily, I watch this video and I will try this COD liver oil. Thank you also for sharing your experience. I will cover myself and put SPF.
@@MB-un8ek That is well noted, I will search about Calcium supplement. Thank you.
He said in an old video that vitamin d must be balanced with omega 3. It’s true for me. I see that if I expose my skin to the sun more than a few minutes it will burn unless have eaten enough omega 3 (cans of cod liver).
To all the remedies mentioned by Dr. Berg, I would strongly recommend adding vitamin K2 supplements to the regime, for me it was the most significant factor in reducing KP by 80 percent. I took atleast 100 mcg a day, plus I stopped using body washes that contain soap, since in contact with the hard water in my area it was causing cloged pores on the back of the arms and back, which would lead to more dry skin, folliculits and scabs.
I started getting crazy dry skin in my late 30’s. I went on a keto diet (not knowing the connection with carbs and dry skin) and my skin completely changed. Now anytime my skin starts getting really dry I know I need to cut back on carbs and sugars!! I knew skin tags were associated with being overweight and diabetes but didn’t realize why. Thanks for the education!
I am a black man over 50. I hope this helps!
In the Netherlands we eat a lot of dairy products. And 50% of this condition is from eating to much dairy. So stop eating yogurt and cheese etc. And you will see that it goes away as snow in front of the sun ☺️
But isn't yoghurt very good for the stomach flora?
I feel like yogurt and cheese are good things. Both are cultured dairy products so they're better than straight up milk. Cheese has CLA, lots of protein and fat and minimal carbs. Yogurt has been shown to be good for the gut microbiome, I think it was like the only truly prebiotic food if I recall correctly

I was developing the Keratosis on my arms and one leg. So, at Dr. Berg's suggestion, I started taking cod liver oil tablets. It didn't happen immediately, but rather, it took a few weeks. But eventually, it started clearing up. Cod liver oil seems to have worked like a dream for me. 🙂
That's fantastic! Thank you for sharing!

Did it come back after stop taking cod liver oil??
And how long did it take to see realistic results
@@emanghazal7496 It's gone away, but I've continued to take the cod liver oil. My parents grew up at a time (during the 1940s) when they were given a spoonful of cod liver oil every week. So, there's definitely something in the virtues of cod liver oil.
I can't remember exactly how long it took. But I'd guess at maybe two to three weeks. At any rate, it's still gone. I take two caplets every day, each having 550 mg of cod liver oil and 400 IU of vitamin D3.
Hope that helps! 🙂
How much did you consume ? Dosage?
@@AshutoshSingh-kb3cm I chose Webber naturals cod liver oil with 1250 IU of Vitamin A and 400 IU of vitamin D. Hope that helps ...
I enjoyed your thoughts and I love how you essentially speak holistically🙌🏻 in my almost 4 decades I have helped my clients heal their skin by only holistic means.
With keratosis I also teach my clients to exfoliate daily while they wash their bodies. I have them use a Body brush either to dry brush or apply their body wash to it. I also tell them to dry off soft, either using a sugar scrub ( not salt) before final rinse or an oil.
A few other tricks are
Head and shoulders in the dark blue bottle
Monistat 7 classic for anti fungal
And corn starch.
I am going to add the cod liver oil.

This makes a lot of sense. I had
issues with this when I was younger and never found a doctor who addressed it correctly. Over the years I've had minor flairups from time to time. Diabetes also runs on my dad's side of the family and I was gestationally diabetic. As I'm getting older I've stated having concerns there as well. Thank you for all your informative videos. I haven't been to a doctor in over 7 years. They've pretty much proven worthless.
Just completed a 72 hr fast an feel very calm an positively motivation ,very lean foods for 2 days no carbs an no fat helps rebuild an regrow new healthy bacteria 3 years ago I began a keto life no turning back it is the best for me intermittent fasting with prolong fasting rebalancing the foods I eat for macros
I have had this skin condition my entire life...both of my kids have it too. These issues don't always mean we are deficient in vitamins and/or nutrients. The water we bathe/shower in, wash clothes with and use for food or drinks has a large part to play in the condition of our skin. Sure it's clean, clear and drinkable *but* just because it's clear and labeled drinkable doesn't mean it's good or healthy for us to drink *or* use for food and washing. There are chemicals that your local water treatment plant puts in the water to kill bacteria and other microbes or viruses. Then we have the chemicals that are hidden within the water and deposited in it from the water leaching from farmers fields, that goes into the ground water and local water table which then makes its way into the drinking water. Pesticides, Herbicides and whatever other chemicals they spray on their crops.
Years ago, my husband decided to wash his long hair with yoghurt to see if it would fix his dandruff. It did. The regular rinsing out of the yogurt under the shower also then completely fixed the chicken skin that he'd had for years on his back and arms. A surprise bonus! Easy, cheap, natural.
Oh don't you love when this happens haha. This is how I got rid of a wart I had on my finger. I kept squeezing lemons to make lemonade one summer, I think I did it for about 3 days. It dried it out and it fell.

I had this for over 10 years, I live in Canada. Whenever I travel to a sunny country it suddenly disappear!!
I hope this works, would be life changing. I was diagnosed with Celiac disease in 2013. Right round 2009/10 when I first started getting sick my KP got so so so bad and although I’ve been strictly gluten free for 9 years, nothing has helped. Not a low carb diet, not exfoliation or acid washes or copious amounts of creams or lotion. Spring is almost here and I’m dreading short sleeves. I’ve never seen someone with KP as awful as mine and I miss wearing sleeveless dresses and tank tops. I hope the cod liver oil works, I’ll give it a try. Thank you for the video!
did you try? what result?
I've had chicken skin on my chest since my teen years (long time ago)... gonna try this 🙏
It's work?
Dr. Berg this was so informative!! I never had keratosis pilaris before I used accutane. After my course of 80mg for 7 months, I started developing these bumps on my outer arms. When I asked my doctor, she said I should just exfoliate more- which hardly did anything!
I've been off accutane for two years now, the cystic acne came back (found out the cause was PCOS, so accutane was actually inappropriate) and paying closer attention to my diet and health and it's mostly clear!
I didn't even realize why!
Thank you so much for talking about ROOT CAUSES rather than just how to cover it up!!
Im from the UK and ive taken Dr Eric's advice on a few things. I really appreciate these videos so thank you so much.
Another great video! Could you please let us know when and how to take these capsules? (Cod Liver Oil).
Hi Dr Berg thankyou for all that you do to help us live a healthy life! We love you❤🤗
I had this as a kid until I was in my late 20’s - early 30’s. I remember my doctor told me to use Am-Lactin. That didn’t help. Exfoliating didn’t help. I finally just grew out of it.
I can’t believe celiac disease isn’t mentioned. I suffered from this skin condition since I was a small child (as well as my daughter). I found out about 2 yrs ago that both of us have celiac disease and we completely cut gluten. Skin issues Vanished within a few weeks. Direct correlation to gluten intolerance/allergy and skin issues. Try cutting gluten if you suffer from this and I can almost guarantee it will improve greatly, if not completely
I tried these supplements and lifestyle change and I had no change!
Thank you Dr. Berg, my doctor gave me an expensive cream to apply 3 times a day- totally unsustainable! Can’t wait to add cod liver oil to my keto diet!
how is your condition now?
It really is all coming together for me the more I learn about how these things are connected.
Keratosis pilaris has always been a problem since I was a child.
Had weight problems all my life, yo-yo-dieting, the classics.
Gall-bladder removed when I was 23.
Vitamin D deficiency got mentioned a few years ago.
Lots of stress due to uni and work, especially lately, then corona hit.
Now I'm 32 and just got diagnosed woth pcos...
Made changes to my diet and exercise already and I'll add cod liver oil on top.
OMG!!!!!!!! Yaaaaaaaasssss finally information about this topic!!!! I suffer severely from KP and no dermatologist can seem to help me 😓 I have depression because I hate my skin and I feel ugly
He made great videos on skin health & issues.
Try Dr bronner’s liquid soap , the one for a baby. It got rid of mine on my arms.
Thank you for the advice I am going to buy that soap 🧼 I’ve never tried it
Man just shows a varied meat diet gives so much to us.
Dude. This guy is in my brain. There’s a question in my mind for a day or two and boom. Very releases a video on it. I swear it’s happened once a week for the last 3 months
I think cod liver oil can be a legit remedy for KP! If you need another sign to give it a try: this is your sign.
My background/testimony: I have atopic skin and I've had KP ever since I was a kid on mainly upper arms and entire legs, which caused me a lot of suffering as a teen (as it does), now I'm 22. I've tried all kinds of lotions, oils, baths, exfoliating creams and brushes and whatnot over the years.
I started taking cod liver oil this year (2022) february 3rd; by march 11th I noticed that my skin had become significantly softer, and now at april 18th it's even more soft/smooth while the redness is much more faded.
Thanks Dr Berg. I've had this condition since childhood. I take imadeen tablets, which are rich in fish extracts, to keep this under control and now I know why this works. I'll add the cod liver oil to it.
@night fall Thanks for the tips.
How to eat cod liver oil
I felt incredible on a low-carb/ keto diet. However, My hair and nails turned brittle, dry and my hair thinned out. This might sound crazy, but when I added grains back to my diet, my hair and nails started to grow at a rapid rate. I don't understand what the connection is 😩
@@craigmoyle2924 hi, silica? What does it do?
@@craigmoyle2924 never mind. I should have googled it first. Makes sense. Thank you.
Thank you for ur explanation, so helpful for me who struggle with this condition
My keratosis improved when I was pregnant. I had gestational diabetes and had to adjust my diet. After birth, it returned.
How much Cod Liver oil should you take everyday? Or should you eat it everyday since your body stores the vitamin D and slowly releases it when deficien? I've have been wondering about this ever since I started eating it to your advice for myself and for my almost 3 year old daughter.
I can tell you that I see great results with at least 2 cans of wild caught cod liver a week in summer and each can provides around 7 tablespoons of cod liver oil additionally to the liver piece.
I take a tablespoon every day following dinner. I take Norwegian, minimally processed, with lemon flavor. I just can’t do the unflavored. Plus my wife and I love seafood and eat it often. Icelandic CLO is also excellent.
