KP (chicken skin) remedies

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 

I posted on this awhile ago, but wanted to see if anyone had new ideas.  I have a really yucky case of KP...before DS2, it was "only" on the backs of my arms.  Now, it's all over my thighs.  It is so embarrassing and I am not feeling too great about how I look in the buff as it is.  I have heard that fish oil is supposed to help.  Is this yet another false hope?  I have tried many, many products and Rxs to make it better, but nothing really works.  I understand that this is a condition that can't be cured, but does anyone have personal experience with something that at least helps a lot?  Thanks in advance confused.gif

there are quite a few threads on this.  the things I have found that help quite a bit are:

1. eliminating foods you are sensitive to.

2. omega 3 fatty acids

4. vitamin A in larger than "normal" doses and not from plant sources.

I second the above.
