KPV: symptoms worsen initially?

[tendency]

Curious if people have experienced a worsening of symptoms when initially starting KPV? I've been on it for about 3 weeks (500mcg daily) and have noticed in the last week a significant eczema flare up. Hoping this is a 'healing crisis' or similar and it will improve? I am taking a week off from KPV to assess. Anyone with similar experiences?

I don’t think my flareup was because of the KPV, but I started it to see if it would help with rosacea. I’ve only been taking it for about 3 weeks as well, 500 mcg daily, and I just got done having a flare up that lasted a week (which the sun probably triggered). I’m going to keep with the KPV for another month or two, because there’s no way I’ve given it enough time to do anything. Anyway, I don’t know if this really helps you at all, but I’ll be sure to update if I see any improvement in flareups

I ran KPV for three months. I didn't notice any flare ups when starting, I just thought there wasn't much change the first month. I really noticed an improvement after the first 30 days. Now that I've been off for another month, I'm thinking about another cycle because my elbows and knees are back to normal, which for me means not good.

Only started KPV 2 weeks ago and so far, so good. I'm pinning it along with GHK specifically to help reduce my eczema overall. So, now you've got me hyper aware of any potential flare ups in the next few weeks as I keep using it.
