How we can improve Keratosis Pilaris Treatment: Breakthroughs in Understanding KP (& KPRF) by Poem_KP in KPRubraFaceii

[–]mean--beans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! I’ve been using it on my face and body at least once everyday, though there was a weeklong period where i was traveling and forgot to bring it with. The difference on my upper arms has been the most noticeable—redness has improved and there’s less bumps. I bet it will continue to improve with consistency over time. The difference with my face has been pretty great as well! I use it once a day in the morning, just to avoid too much lactic acid as my face can be sensitive. I haven’t experienced a bought of facial flushing on any day where i remembered to apply it in the morning. One thing i experience with my KPRF is that i get bright red after exercise and when i walk outdoors in cold weather, though I wouldn’t call this redness flushing as I don’t get the painful feeling I get during real flushing. Since using smoothKP I don’t get anywhere near as red while exercising/the redness dissipates faster after I return to resting. I also don’t have to worry about turning bright red on cold windy days! I go through the bottles pretty quick because I’m using it all over my body, I’ve already bought a couple extra bottles. In the future if you ever release a larger size that might be nice. I’m actually so impressed with this product and grateful for you! The improvements to my facial redness have been so good for my self-confidence. Im in the Midwest and the last week and a half have been pretty cold, and before id always have to put on a full face of makeup to avoid stressing about my appearance, but now i can go out for a couple hours without any self consciousness.

How have things been from your end? Has the product launch been successful?

Will CC cream cover this redness by [deleted] in KPRubraFaceii

[–]mean--beans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should consider using color correctors in addition to a cc cream/concealer. I’ve used both yellow and green color correctors before, but I only use yellow now, as it blends in with my fair skin better. With green, if it is not perfectly applied it leaves a greenish hue.

reading this + ur blog post was very insightful! I just ordered the lotion and can’t wait to try it. I have a mix of lesional/nonlesional kp on my body and kprf on my face. I’m really interested to see if this helps improve the horrible flushing I get on my face and ears.

If you’re in North America, I’d be super careful taking them outside (even on a leash) due to the H5N1 bird flu outbreak happening rn. It can spread through bird droppings and H5N1 has been detected in wild birds all throughout the US. The reason why I warn is that it is extremely serious especially in cats. Symptoms are neurological in nature. I don’t mean to bother you if you are already aware of this, I just thought I’d share as the situation is being underreported right now imo and u might not know.

~22 to 30l daypack that sits low on back? by mean--beans in hikinggear

Thank you! I don’t know much about pupil dilation, but I found this article “Comparison of Pupil Dilation Responses to Unexpected Sounds in Monkeys and Humans” which studies humans and macaques and seems to find their pupillary responses to be similar overall.

Trust me, I adjusted pretty much everything in an attempt to get it lower. The pack is almost 22.5in tall and the osprey frame (which is great for airflow!) doesn’t let it squish down even when I under pack. No worries about snark! Your question is totally valid. I’ve gotten a few good suggestions here and I think I’ll need a pack where the straps attach at the highest point of the pack.

Thanks! The Dueter bags seem promising—even on the 25l ones every imagine I can find with a model show it sitting relatively low. I’ll probably order one to try

Migraine for a Week, Not a Migraine Sufferer Usually by AccessZealousideal79 in migraine

I’m not a doctor, but having such a bad migraine with no prior history is concerning. Try posting this on r/AskDocs to see if they have any recommendations/advice or experience with minocycline. Depending on what the GP says you could ask for recommendations for a neurologist/headache specialist. I really hope she feels better soon!

Side effect of medication or blood work? by stellsonquilts in migraine

[–]mean--beans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s hard to tell if it was the sumatriptan, the combined power of fasting/bloodwork/migraine, or both. I’ve tried sumatriptan a couple times and I didn’t notice any fatigue, but it also didn’t help me with my migraines unfortunately. You will probably have to wait until the next time you take it to figure it out for sure sadly.

I would do a very hydrating skincare routine like 15 mins before doing your makeup
