Hi atthegates, hi:

So glad to hear your skin is healing nicely. smile: Please do post the photos, can't wait to see them.

Stay well.

Hi Hunter,

Has the eczema resolved?

OK, then we should stop calling them scars. They are something else.

That product you were using contains a bunch of things that are not good for the skin. Look those ingredients up and you'll see...

Hi Meshen!

You look great! http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a138/English_Cottage/Smilies/th_yayy.gif?t=1287807382

Wow. What a difference. Hey, whatever works. The important thing is that you...

Hi William,

Thanks for posting a detailed background info.

Are these the areas where those scars are?:

You'll be able to post photos soon.

In the meantime, here's your "before" photo:

(The original size...

No, it isn't. But that doesn't look like a scar either. See if you can find a photo where the light hits the spot(s) just right so that it shows well.



I know, kiddo. console: Let's give it a...

I see. Well, this is one of those cases where more is not better. The skin needs to breathe and when you apply too much moisturizer it just sits there, saturating the skin. Always apply as little as...

Dilation of blood vessels causes redness but that can't be fixed with steroid creams.



Yep, good idea.



Oh dear... blink:

OK, so why was your face so shiny in the first photo you posted in this thread?



No, no, it doesn't work that way.



I doubt it, William. Look up "sun damage symptoms."

laugh:

Take a pic before you start the masks for the 'before' shot.

Talk to you again in a few days, then. Have fun.

OK. Before you start, though, be sure to look at WilliamD's photos. He's been mixing the honey with too much water and applying the mask too thickly. If you use the correct ratio (90% - 10%) and...

Hi Benji,

Are you using any meds/products on your face? Which ones?

You wear heavy eyeglasses. Does your nose get as red if/when you don't wear your eyeglasses for a while?

(BTW, did you try...

You are most welcome, Sandy. Please check your PM.

So what's causing the "inflammation" then?



And how often and for how long are you supposed to apply this miracle drug?



I wouldn't use it but you knew I'd say that. :)

See, S.? This is exactly what I was telling you about. wink1:

Like it used to? Do you mean before you developed seb derm?

Keep cleansing with the honey, William, but discontinue the oil and see if that helps.



Let's see what happens after discontinuing...

Don't make me cry now...

kiss:

Hi, sweetheart! hi:

So nice to hear from you again. Your post made my day. Wonderful news. Wow! You must look great now.

I stopped consuming dairy (except for heavy cream) in late March, when I started brewing water kefir which is a great source of probiotics and calcium.

Still drink green tea but not as much, I'd...

Hi Red,

Please listen to yourself:



Let's see... You've been struggling with this for 260 weeks but won't try this thing for 4 weeks? It is a pain in the ass, indeed, but it works and it's...

If you start now it won't irritate it worse. Most people report calmer skin during the first week then things start to get rocky for a few days, before the seb derm starts to clear. But, since you...

I know.



It does sound and look like seb derm.



It is. yes:

Oh, yes, that's a nice, healthy, happy looking face.

That URL is wrong again (hopefully you'll be able to post photos soon). Here's your photo:

It is the same condition, Trev. The FAQ I wrote covers that as well.
