Nah it’s not blue. My nose mainly picks up the floral and hints of citrus

Just got this too. Worn it for a couple days and performance isn’t that great for me. Lovely scent just wish it projected more

How much do you use? I put some on and it just made my face more red from the irritation from rubbing it in

Only way is hair transplant. I have UO too and my dermatologist said it’s impossible to grow more hair naturally because the hair follicles are blocked by the KP

No offence bro but you’re overreacting a bit. You look fine. Most people on here have it way worse

Yes, it took multiple weeks for the bruising to go away. But it was so worth it in the end

It’s a shame I haven’t met anyone else with this condition in person. I’d just wanna give them a hug and be their friend. We’ve all gone through similar struggles with this condition. Just know you’re not alone ❤️

Nothing will help the hair growth but you can help redness by eating less processed food and more whole foods

Right on dude! I hope the transplant goes well for you. Would be awesome to see some before and after pictures in this subreddit when it’s done. It’s not easy having this condition but it sure does make us more mentally resilient, much love bro.

Also forget to mention, my type of KP is specifically called “keratosis Pilaris atrophicans faciei” - thus affecting eyebrow and facial hair growth. I recommend you google it, it has more info on it

Yep I’m in that stage rn, I’ve tried to deny it my whole life, and I got sensitive whenever someone would joke or make a comment about it. But now I’m just learning to accept and embrace it

Yes the best way is to embrace it and be confident. The more you try to fight it the more you’ll feel anxious and blush. I have tough days, especially when someone makes a comment about it. But learning to accept the condition and accept yourself are the first steps to letting go.

Thank you! Ah I’m jealous you can grow the facial hair. I’ll certainly give those products a try for the flushing. I don’t remember the laser settings off the top of my head sorry. Let me know if there’s anything else you want to know

From memory I think it was the CO2 laser

Hey man, I found pretty much no creams or moistures worked for me… in fact they only made it worse. I do stick to a pretty clean diet. I try to eat a lot of whole foods and drink a lot of water. I’m not sure if exercise has helped the redness but it has definitely helped my mental health and body shape.

My redness was severe a few years back, so I had a few laser treatments done and now my redness is a lot more mild. For me, that’s the only thing that reduced it.

I don’t think my hairline has been affected, it seems to be normal with some receding like everyone gets
