what is Keratosis Pilaris?

Question 1
what is Keratosis Pilaris?...  

Answers
1)   Keratosis Pilaris is a very common genetic follicular condition that is manifested by the appearance of rough bumps on the skin. It most often appears 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, hands, and tops of legs, flanks, buttocks, or any body part except glabrous skin (like the palms or soles of feet). Less commonly, lesions appear on the face, which may be mistaken for acne. - Tyler

2)   It's a condition that is very common and people usually get it on their arms but my dermatologist said you can get it pretty much anywhere. It is just little bumps which are mostly little whitheads. It's tough to get rid of too. I was on a cortisone cream that didn't work and now I am on Lac-Hydrin which is an alpha hydroxy cream but it's not doing much either. - Amy N

3)   It is a skin condition characterized by small and bumpy acne-like lesions on the skin surface. - Jasmin Curt

4)   Keratosis Pilaris is a very common genetic follicular disorder manifested by the appearance of rough bumps on the skin. Primarily, it appears on the back and outer sides of the upper arms, but can also occur on thighs and buttocks or any body part except palms or soles.

An excess of the protein known as Keratin, accumulates within the hair follicles forming numerous tiny rough bumps on the skin. Sometimes, these bumps can become irritated causing the follicles to redden excessively. KPR

KP is often misdiagnosed and treated as acne. Most types are more evident during teen years.

It can also appear after pregnancy or at any stage of life.

Though you may not like the sandpaper-like appearance of your skin, keratosis pilaris isn't serious and doesn't have long-term health implications. In fact, though some cases may persist, keratosis pilaris usually disappears by age 30. - -girl with the dragon tattoo-

4)   It should be obvious to you that to make a skin disorder diagnosis, the skin has to be viewed. And, without an accompanying picture, it's not possible to give you a "for sure" diagnosis. However, it sounds as if you may be having a gastrointestinal virus, with an associated viral rash. - zitdr_02

Question 3
any way to get rid of scars?...  

Answers
1)   i don't know if its possible to get rid of them completely. i heard mederma works well, but i've never tried it. i like to use vitamin e capsules. break one open and rub the oil on your scars. do this everyday. it helps to fade the scar and make it less noticeable. - hfjlafjslfj

2)   Scars are permanent but they do fade over time. Using Bio Oil really helps to hide scars and make them look less prominent :)
Yet you can have scar revision surgery but I have no idea about how that works or how much it costs - tay tay!

3)   Vitamin E can help. - Jasmin Curt

4)   Prevent scars from forming in the first place. Keep all wounds clean so that they do not get infected. Rub a first-aid antibiotic cream or ointment on them. Do not pick at scabs when you have a wound that is healing, or you'll create a worse scar once the wound finally heals.

Buy some Vitamin E capsules. Break open a capsule and rub Vitamin E on existing scars daily. The Vitamin E within the capsule helps to keep the skin soft and moisturized.

Regular use of cocoa butter will help your scars fade and become lighter over time. They may not vanish completely, depending on how long you've had them or how bad they are, but the cocoa butter will help.

Buy patches and creams that are aimed at reducing the appearance of older scars.

See a doctor about surgically removing more severe scarring, such as keloid scars. Many surgical scars are permanent, but the appearance can be treated so they become lighter and smoother over time. If you have stitches, do not pick at them or try to remove them on your own. This can re-injure the area and you'll end up making the scar worse. - -girl with the dragon tattoo-

Question 4
I am always depreseed as i am too short in height at the age of 27 years and i am feeling depress in my office?...  

Answers
1)   Well at least you have a job. - joey

2)   I recommend you to see ----> http://www.all-home-remedies.com
I hope that will resolve your problem, keep using answers.yahoo.com - Dr

3)   Hey, You've got it good. I'm too tall and I get made fun of. It's great to be short and cute! And, some people don't even have a job so, no reason to be depressed u are GREAT just the way u are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - Ohara Darmetko

4)   I'm gonna tell you something, and I need you to believe in it, because it's simply the truth: women do care about a guy's physical appearance, but we care so much more about a guy's personality that your height becomes irrelevant. If you're a nice guy, you don't need to worry about your height, some people are just short and that's fine. My teacher (a male teacher) is shorter than me and I'm only 5'3, but he's cool and everybody likes him. Besides, looks mean nothing if you're an empty person, you have to be confident and love yourself for who you are, nobody's perfect, but you have to try to do the best you can with what you've got. That's the only way you can stop feeling depressed, no one can get you out of this depression but yourself. Instead of wasting your time thinking about the things you don't like about yourself, how about thinking of the unique and great qualities you have? Just stop thinking about it, I'm not the most beautiful girl in the world, but I'm always improving my qualities, and that makes me feel good about myself. Just be happy and smile, life's great. : ) - Alice

Answers
1)   Get a tube of Carmex. That works good. - Josh

Try plan Vaseline or COCO BUTTER always helps. These can be found at your pharmacy. Put them on constantly throughout the day. for faster results go to your dermatologist..i'm positive they'll be able to prescribe something to u. - stephaniealfl

3)   Treat peeling lips with lip balm or baby oil and a soft toothbrush. The toothbrush should be an old one that you no longer use to brush your teeth.

Drink water. Taking in enough water will prevent your skin and your lips from drying out. You should drink at least eight glasses of water each day. - -girl with the dragon tattoo-
