모공각화증 은 우선 보기가 흉해서 많이 불편하죠. 치료 해도 잘 낫지 않고요. 코코넛 오일 로 증상이 조금 완화 되셨다니 다행입니다. 꾸준히 잘 관리 하셔서 증상이 호전 되시길 바래요.
I would like to share how I manage keratosis pilaris on my forearm.
It wasn't there originally, but since a certain day, I was really worried because of keratosis pilaris that looked like tiny bumps or chicken skin on my arms, and it worsened to the point of turning into red spots. Currently, I am seeing significant improvement since I started moisturizing with coconut oil.
Keratosis pilaris is a skin condition where hair follicles on areas like the arms and legs become blocked with keratin, causing the skin surface to appear rough and bumpy, resembling chicken skin.
I remember that my skin was very itchy for a while, and during that time I neglected body moisturizing out of laziness. My skin was dry and extremely itchy, but I was very careless about it. Then, the keratosis pilaris on my arms worsened, and I realized that it was definitely closely related to moisturizing.
This is a photo from the time when the symptoms were the worst. Keratosis pilaris looks messy and can really cause stress as a skin condition.
When I went to the hospital, I was prescribed vitamin A ointment, and I applied it diligently for a while. It showed quite a bit of improvement when I used it. However, it was not feasible to use that prescribed ointment for a lifetime, and relying solely on the ointment became a burden to me, causing stress.
Since then, I have been searching for information to cure it through natural methods and consistent effort rather than medication. The method I found was applying organic coconut oil as a moisturizer.
Coconut oil is a natural oil with incredible moisturizing properties, making it safe for pregnant women to use without worry about stretch marks on their abdomen. It is also well known for its effectiveness on various problematic skin conditions. Since it is a healthy oil, it is commonly available as a food product, but I buy and use it as a body oil. I feel reassured because it is better for skin health than body creams with many chemical ingredients, and I am satisfied with its use.
I apply coconut oil intensively to the areas affected by keratosis pilaris after showering and drying, covering my entire body. My skin tends to be dry normally, so I have no aversion to oil-based products, which makes it easier for me to use.
It has been over a year since I started using coconut oil for my body, and I definitely feel that my pore keratosis has improved, with the bumps becoming smoother and the condition getting better.
Coconut oil is a versatile all-purpose oil that can be used all over the body, so it's great as a hair essence or for hair care, and it can also boost skin immunity. I highly recommend it as a regular skincare item for those like me with keratosis pilaris.
