Hi ,

Keratosis pilaris is where the dead skin cells usually flake off but in

this instance they plug up the hair follicles. This causes the bumps. It

is harmless and only looks bad. Your son will do well to take a long hot

bath soaking his arm and then using a luffa, skin brush, or stiff wash

rag to wash his arms with. Also will do a lot of good to begin a routine

of dry skin brushing on a daily basis before he bathes. Preferrable

would be to have him do it twice a day morning and before bed.

Dry skin brushing is wonderful for the skin. It keeps it looking great,

clean, shiny, and healthy looking. I highly recommend it to any and

every one to do.

Hope this answers your questions . Peace be with you.

NOPE, it just means that he needs to dry skin brush and take hot baths

and scrub really well to open up those hair follicles. His body is

working just fine. This is quite common among children preadolescent and

into their teenage years.

Hi ,

Every body is different. Just make sure you cleanse his arms and face

really well. Use a very mild or soft natural bristled brush to dry skin

brush his body on a daily basis. This does wonders for the skin and

helps to move the lymph too.

Hi a,

I have kp too, on my upper arms. When I posted about this to the WAPF

chapter leaders, Sally responded that she feels it's related to

vitamin A deficiency. She had it when she was a teenager (when mine

started, too) but it's gone now. Others posted that upping their

intake of vitamin A and D have helped. One person wrote that sodium

lauryl sulfate exacerbated hers, and upping her intake of vitamin A

and D were key to getting rid of it.

I have upped my intake of vitamin A, but so far mine is worse, not

better. Soon I will start taking high vitamin cod liver oil to see if

more A will help. It's very frustrating! Some people report that the

condition gets better in the summer, when their skin is exposed to

more sun. Vitamin D may be key.

I hope that someone will have more insight. The best I can do now is

to exfoliate mechanically (scrub) and moisturize (I use coconut oil).

This doesn't cure it, of course, it only makes it appear to be less

present.

a,

Unfortunately, I don't know how long it took. I'd made most of my NT

diet changes, but wasn't taking CLO, and still had the little bumps.

I started the CLO and, at some point -- but i don't know when, I

looked at my arms again and all the bumps were gone and have stayed

gone!

I take 1 tsp of the Blue Ice daily, fwiw.

Let us know if you see improvement after more time.

Wow, I am feeling very encouraged, ! I ordered Blue Ice recently

and had planned to take 1 tsp daily , too! I have been taking CLO for

months, but it has been Nordic Naturals, which is low in A and D

compared to Blue Ice. Blue Ice will be listed in the WAPF shopping

guide next year.
