Keratosis Pilaris Can Be Relieved!

Keratosis pilaris (also called ichthyosis follicularis, lichen pilaris, or follicular xeroderma) is a very common genetic condition. I will explain that keratosis pilaris is manifested by the appearance of rough bumps or papules on the skin, hence referred to as chicken skin. People suffering from these symptoms find that they most often appear on the back and outer sides of the upper arms (though the lower arms can also be affected), and can also occur on the thighs and tops of legs, flanks, buttocks, or any body part. Excess skin forms around individual hair follicles, creating the characteristic minute, rough, grater-like bumps.

The one exception where this disease can be manifested is glabrous skin (like the palms or soles of feet) which is another condition known as hyperkeratosis . Less commonly, lesions appear on the face, which may be mistaken for acne.

Keratosis pilaris is the result of abnormal keratinization that is limited to the hair follicles, manifesting itself as discrete, tiny follicular papules. Although these bumps are generally harmless, they can affect a person's self confidence and could reduce a person's quality of lifestyle.

Keratosis pilaris affects almost 50% of the world's population and is particularly likely to affect anyone prone to eczema. Many teens or people experiencing hormonal changes or imbalances can also show signs of these symptoms.

Keratosis Pilaris Recommendations

This disease is treatable with the proper knowledge and products. To get the positive results you can achieve, follow these recommendations which will effectively eliminate crustiness, flaking, and dry, rough chicken skin:

First, be aware that conventional medications such as hydocortisone and steroids can bring more harm than good because of the large risk of side effects they can produce. Start with the basics such as diet and skin care, and this will significantly improve your condition.

Secondly, since keratosis pilaris is a condition which indicates lack of moisture and imbalance to the immune system and skin function, following as many of the following recommendations will bring great results.

1) Daily cleansing of the body both INTERNALLY and EXTERNALLY is very important. Washing with a hypo-allergenic "non-soap" wash helps the process of washing away the dead skin cells from the skin. Additionally, using an all natural and highly nutritive supplement will assist your body in the proper functioning of the bodily systems thereby strengthening your immune system.

2) You need to bring moisture back to your skin, by increasing water intake substantially as well as moisturizing your skin with the proper cream containing the best, healthful ingredients.

Vitamin-derived antioxidants from plant sourced ingredients not only make the best ingredients for your "inside", but for your "outside" as well. For instance, vitamin C is essential for collagen formation and helps to maintain the integrity of skin tissue.

Urea will repair skin 7 layers deep unpacking dead, dry cells and acts as a strong humectant bringing necessary balance back to the skin.

3) In addition, you need to restore balance through proper nutrition which will greatly affect your immune health. We highly recommend essential fatty acids, such as omega-3, omega-6, omega-9 & GLA as well as Chlorella and Spirulina that provides superior and unbeatable nutrition.

Rash On Facial Skin With Dryness & Hot Spots Before & After

Hello Nanette,  I had a rash on my face and nothing would get it to calm down.   I also have very dry skin and develop “hot spots” whenever I try new products that can range from laundry soap, bath soap, etc.   My 3 yr old daughter has inherited my awful skin and has what the doctor calls chicken skin on her arms. She’s had it since she was a baby. I put the Face & Neck TheraCream on my dry spots and on her arms. After just a few applications, it cleared both up. I am truly amazed..... Your Face & Neck TheraCream is super moisturizing! Thank you! Chelsea Smith


Hello Nanette....My 5 year old daughter’s arms and hands were covered in red, itchy bumps! We have been to a pediatrician, dermatologist, and an allergist/immunologist and told it’s dermatitis, eczema, allergic reaction, etc.  It has been ongoing for 2 long years now and we have spent literally hundreds of dollars on creams, washes, oils, soaps, etc.   The pictures don't even do justice to the amazing results from using your All Over Face & Body Wash and your My Daughter's Hand & Body TheraCream. Thank you so much for your fast working products!!   Tasha Rector

Letter to Nanette:  First let me say that I find your site very refreshing! Since I had my son - 3 yrs ago - I had 'chicken skin' on my upper arm area and it was spreading to my forehead. Then, I started to notice a couple of small hard bumps on my scalp and and when I would run my fingers across my scalp I would get what looked and felt like grains of sand. When I would get stressed, it would get worse! Nothing the dermatologists gave me helped. Then I used your products and WOW! I am so thankful I found you and will keep using your wonderful products! Sandy Bell, MO, 

I tried out your hand and body cream for a small red area on my body and could not believe how it healed in just a few days. Also, my 9 yr old daughter had very dry skin with small pimples all over the back of her arms which her doctor said was keratosis pilaris. She has been using the cream and they are almost gone. We are both thrilled and thankful for My Daughter's Hand & Body TheraCream and will always have some on hand! Millie and Cara, MN, USA
