Has anyone noticed if HRT or Anti-androgens have any impact on Keratosis Pilaris?  I've read few minor mentions online, but I've not read anything too definitive.  Some first hand accounts would be great.

I have it, have had it for as long as I can remember. Starting HRT did not change anything until 11 yrs in when I noticed it was much, much less...almost gone. I don't know if this has anything to do with my change in HRT around that time, going from oral estrogen to injectable estrogen and/or progesterone. My dad HAD the same thing and he said that with time, it just vanished. Maybe it's somehow connected to the level of androgens as my testosterone is also the lowest it's ever been.
I am not a medical doctor, nor a scientist - opinions expressed by me on the subject of HRT are merely based on my own review of some of the scientific literature over the last decade or so, on anecdotal evidence from women in various discussion forums that I have come across, and my personal experience

On HRT since early 2004
Post-op since late 2005
