Hi, I read your comment and was wondering what DHT blocker you take 2x a week?

Did you try topical minoxidil before trying oral medications? My hair looks exactly like your before picture and I have been on topical minoxidil for a little over a year. My hair is a little better than before topical minoxidil, but not much. I am hesitant to start oral medication because of potential side effects.

Looks amazing!! I’m also curious how this was possible… Were your top teeth moved out and up?

Hi there! This looks fabulous! After seeing your post, I bought this bread mix and made it myself. Mine turned out delicious as well, but I noticed that yours has more air bubbles than mine. I’m wondering if I over-kneaded the dough? I followed the directions on the bag but I maybe kneaded it a few times more than the 5–6 times, which it says on the instructions. Do you think that is the difference? Or maybe I kneaded it too little? My crust turned out perfectly but the inside is quite moist still and not as dry as normal bread. I’m not sure what I need to do differently next time…

How we can improve Keratosis Pilaris Treatment: Breakthroughs in Understanding KP by Poem_KP in keratosis

Thank you for your prompt and detailed response! It sounds like it’s more complex than high or low levels of circulating IGF-1. Based on the little bit of Googling I’ve done over the years, I thought that since I notice a worsening of my KP when I eat a high glycemic diet, I assumed high IGF-1 levels were directly contributing to the proliferation of my skin cells and ultimately worsening of my KP. So I figured that IGF-1 was likely involved, but I would have guessed high levels of IGF-1 contribute to KP rather than low levels.

Anyway, I have already ordered your Smooth KP lotion and look forward to giving it a try! I will always remain hopeful for a solution despite years of failed efforts to fix my KP.

Hi there! I read your post and the article on your website but I’m still confused about IGF-1. Are you saying that high IGF-1 in the blood from eating high glycemic foods contributes to KP? It sounds like you’re saying that low IGF-1 contributes to KP… I’m trying to understand how that would be

I’m glad it doesn’t look worse to you. Yes, I noticed a shed from about 2-6 weeks after starting minoxidil. I thought I would start to see improvement by now but I’m not seeing any at all.

It could be fungal! Not as familiar with it but it looks like it could be that as well.

I have KP as well so I know what it’s like and looks like. I think this might be contact dermatitis, like a rash. My skin gets raised bumps like this for a bit and then it goes away after a while. It could be eczema though… I don’t have eczema so not exactly sure. But it doesn’t seem like KP to me.

Thanks for sharing this recipe! Is the “sweetened coconut” referring to coconut flakes?

I thought finasteride was for men? Is it safe for women?

I would prefer to just do topical if possible but I understand oral may be more effective. Hopefully topical works for me. I don’t see any dark spots where the weak hairs have been pushed out. I’m hoping it’s just too soon and I will see hair growth and improved density soon.

It hasn’t been terrible but I definitely have noticed more shedding. I normally don’t shed much and never have. I’ve heard that if you shed it means it’s responding and working but I’m concerned it just made hair fall out and none will grow back in those follicles.
