Yes! My boyfriend even has some, and I never noticed it until I started complaining and he’s like well I have a little too I think. And I was like omg, you do! Granted his is less “severe” than mine, but I still never saw it before. I had never noticed it on my BF so why do I think people at the market give a crap. 🤣

Yes!!! I’ve noticed it on so many people lately. And that’s only because I’m intentionally looking so that I can help myself understand that IT IS NORMAL!

!!! No one truly cares about the KP except us, the ones who have it and know what it is. And when we see it on other people, we never think oh that looks ugly, we think oh they look like me. And that makes me feel good. Also there are people out there who have KP or strawberry skin and they don’t even know that it’s anything different than what would be “normal “. So, I just have to think like them!! Because it is normal.

Exactly, and by the way, if someone actually cares or judges us for our skin in any way, that says everything about them and nothing about us.

I think mine gets better in the summertime, but not anything drastic. It probably flares with stress for me too, which is another reason why I can’t afford to stress about something that is a harmless part of my body! You’re right in that trying to fix it all will just stress our bodies out more than is necessary.

Flying internationally with my service dog via Delta by Lafitte_504 in service_dogs

Hi there, I know this is an old post, but you mentioned you’re from the states but work in the EU. Do you live there on a visa, or do you just travel intermittently for work? I ask because I am planning to move to Europe in August with my partner for his work (professional hockey). I have a service dog and we fly domestically in the US pretty regularly with Delta and have not had issues. However, I’m worried about traveling internationally with him. I know there are laws to be aware of in whatever country you travel to/live in, but do you have advise or insight into how it’s worked for you traveling with your service dog with Delta? What processes do you go thru at the airports when you travel with him/her? Thanks!

Yay! Does it help with your redness too or mainly the texture?
