I'm so pleased for you, Gary. This treatment requires time and patience but it's well worth it in the end.

Don't forget it will be necessary to do a 'maintenance' application once a month when...

I usually find I get tiny flakes which I can't resist removing with a pair of tweezers but I wouldn't try removing anything bigger in case you tear the skin.

If you're undergoing Auburn's remedy...

I've had my eyebrows tatooed several times and haven't had any problems. It was a fantastic solution once they became so sparse.

Well said Melissa. I have reached the conclusion that eventually my skin becomes allergic/intolerant to practically everything I put on it. Even raw honey, which began as a God send for seb-derm,...

Yep, I had a patch test on my back too. Another £120 down the drain! The spotty, flaky rash I had around my temples and on my cheeks was caused by chemicals not incorporated into the test.

I totally agree with this. I believe I'm allergic to Cocamidopropyl Betaine, which is in most shampoos to make them lather up. I have also found this chemical in many other products for use in the...

Hi drewlizard

Well, I guess we all hope dermatologists diagnose us correctly but I sometimes feel they lump a lot of different skin complaints under the heading of Rosacea.

For many years I was...

Hi Gary

As I sit here typing away and glancing at the clock to see if the big hand has reached 18.00 hrs yet (when I allow myself an alcoholic drink), I'm trying hard to find some words of wisdom...

Hi John

Some people on this forum - http://www.dryeyezone.com/talk/forum.php - have been using Cliradex. Might be worth doing an advanced search to see how they got on.

I wish I had time for a...

I remember seeing that somewhere, I think it might be in this: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2946818/

You may well have a histamine allergy (as opposed to an intolerance) due to the fact that you react so suddenly. Are you able to determine exactly what it is you eat that causes the flush and rash?...

Yes, that looks like the one. Bit of an odd taste but not unpleasant.

Hi Ant

I once did a lot of research about salicylate and back in April 2010 I wrote this:

"... I now use Tom's of Maine antiplaque toothpaste (propolis & myrrh) which is fluoride and mint free....

It's the same with Selsun. I haven't been able to get this in the UK for months!

Yes, irritant contact dermatitis may well be mistaken for Rosacea, or seb derm, or whatever. Only this weekend I realized that the itchy red marks on my chest and stomach were most likely caused by...

Hi Doug

MasK answers this question at the previous page (25 June 2010).

I would also like to point out that there's a marked difference between an allergy and an intolerance. On the Histame...

I order this via their web site at www.realpurity.com. It's sent from America and you may have to pay custom's duty on it (all depends if it slips through or not). Alternatively you might be able...

Squirrelgirl, I totally agree with you. I also feel a lot more confident with make-up on. In fact, my skin is much better for wearing it, as it creates a barrier from the weather and pollution.

Hello MYMP. Best of luck with Accutane. I took this once at a low dose of 5mg and it certainly stopped excessive oil production. And of course, heavy sebum production is manna from heaven for...

You must be so relieved to find a dermatologist who understands this problem. I'm very sad that Ghost feels the need to remove her 'About Me' treatment remedies. Why would anyone want to give her...

After a couple of weeks of sprinkling Borax and Hydrogen Peroxide in my bath and also applying it, with cotton wool, to any spots on my face, I can report that this mixture has worked extremely well....

Yes, I use DERMAdoctor's 'Born to be Mild' which is Pyrithione Zinc 2%. It needs to be applied with lots of water or else I find it irritating. I only use it occasionally now - in my hair line and...

Hey Ghost

Yes, you've put a lot of hard work into making your skin perfect and have helped many other people too.

Now it's my turn. I have the hydrogen peroxide. I have the Borax. But what I...

Thanks. I'll do my best to track some down on eBay. I have been to several hardware stores with no luck. I think it's something to do with EU regulations and toxicity. I can't get my fibre...
