Maybe you were sunburned as a kid, or haven't been diligent about wearing sunscreen, but you probably thought that, should a suspicious spot appear, your doctor would catch it and keep you healthy. Well, that isn't always the case.

More than 90 percent of dermatologic surgeons have seen at least one patient in the past year with skin cancer that was overlooked or misdiagnosed by a nondermatologist, finds a survey of 271 docs by the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery in Rolling Meadows, Ill.

Anyone else suffering from Keratosis Pilaris? (KP - 'bumpy' skin condition, mainly on upper arms)

Does anyone else have KP? It's a skin condition where you have those red 'chicken bumps' mainly on the upper arms. I have it - badly! Now that I sniff spring in the air, my arms are exposed and I'm looking for something that may work. I have tried Lac Lotion - didn't work. I tried KP Doctor this winter - didn't work. Sadly - a lot of sun helps but I'd rather KP than skin cancer. Retin-A helps too but I'd have to be permanently out of the sun and that's not a lot of help either.
