anyone have experience with mtf HRT's effects on keratosis pilaris? I've got some on my arms but a lot on my legs :( people generally report clearer skin w/ estrogen but i'm not sure if that applies to this... some people on
say it helps some say no change
I'd assume its a YMMV thing. With eczema, I've seen some on reddit say things got worse, others had great improvement, and some not much change. Not sure about keratosis pilaris though.
A brief search shows its more common in women and can flare-up with pregnancy and puberty, so it seems like some female hormones can worsen it. Granted, it might not specifically be estrogen, since other hormones such as progesterone are also involved in those. Also, stress is often related to such skin conditions (and also commonly spikes in the times of puberty and pregnancy), so dysphoria can probably worsen it and HRT could reduce that. And sometimes as part of transitioning, people start caring for their skin better, which is technically separate from taking HRT but not totally unconnected either.
Yea I expect to be upping my skincare game, and using lotions and such with urea is supposed to help. Would be nice if her just magically fixed it tho
I'm pretty sure I have that, although the small bumps are never irritating. Anyway, hasn't gone away after years of feminizing hormone therapy.
yea it's not irritating sensation wise I just hate the way it looks
