i first got Dissecting cellulitis when i was 20 years old and it was quite server, after a long course of antibiotics nothing happened at all, i was put on Roaccutane i guess in america its called Accutane. This stuff worked a treat, bumps went away and the my hair grew back in about 6 months but the side effects were bad, dry lips, dry skin and all that.
I was on Roaccutane for about 8 months until i stopped, things where good for about a year no bumps at all my hair had grown back.
but out of the blue it started coming back just as small bumps that would go down after a 2-3 weeks.
I wanted to know why this was what was triggering theses things and finally started studying my self the environment i was in, the food i ate.
i finally found out that a large part of it was the foods i was eating.
My findings based on my Non medical observations
Drinks
Surgery drinks and alcohol would cause the DC to reappear. When it was at the most server i was at University and i remember i always drank a can of Cola at least 5 time a day (thats bad) on nights out i would also have surgery alcoholic drinks this made it even worse.
Food
Again sugary foods i found were another main culprit from cakes to sweets, again when my DC was at the most server i was living in Uni halls of residents (dorms) away from my parents who would make sure i ate vegetables and did not indulge on surgery foods all the time.
if you have not linked it together by now SUGAR and PROCESSED food was the biggest culprit FOR ME, every time i ate surgery foods the lumps would come if i stop they would go away after 2-3 weeks. i can go months upon months with no bumps if i am careful what i eat its ok to have sugary foods once in a while but i try to eat veggies, meats, drink herbal tea and water.
As i kind of said at the beginning I'm not to a Doctor or such but if you have DC maybe try to watch what you eat, EAT AS CLEAN as you can maybe it might help
I truly feel for you if you have DC and i know how you feel but remember it could be worse so keep your chin up and live life to the fullest and Pray to our Lord, its hard but don't let this illness become who you are
GOD bless
P.S sorry for the spelling and grammaticl errors

the symptoms looks like lichen planus. It is a autoimmune disorder where immune is over reaction and skin cells become foreign to it. So it start damaging the skin cells where extra protein causes the skin bumps and itchy, Doctor give steroids medicine tablet because i have already taken no profit 3 time start the course till now no profit. i stopped it because so many side effects of steroids.Now i started homeopathic Friday will be the one week results will reflect in 1 month.View Thread








with no relief no matter what I used or how many allergy doctors I saw.
Then I had to go to urgent care for an ear infection and talked to
the doctor about the hives and he gave me a perscription for
singular. I had already been taking 10 mg of generic Zyrtec so I
started taking it and the singular every day. I also started taking
vitamin C every day along with other vitamins that I already took.
The good news, I have had no hives for over 2 months. I also got
rid of the shower gels and only use Safeguard soap.
It is wonderful not to be itching.View Thread










I'm now showering with Selsun Blue shampoo and applying fresh cut aloe vera 2-3 times daily. My red spots are fading, stopped spreading and are not as 'hot' as they were.
I hope this helps other afflicted with this uncomfortable virus.View Thread






Just want to share this with you. It may not work for all of you and certainly not medical advice but for over 12 months I had problems with these scabs in my head which when removed there was very sticky clear fluid that weeped for some time. I tried all sorts of things and then started to use TEA TREE CONDITIONER from the local body care shop. I use it every time after I wash my hair now and have had NO problems or re occurances since. I guess the conditioner moisterises the scalp and the tea tree has the healing properties. For 99pence a bottle for anyone suffering from this it has got to be worth a go. It has in all honesty cleared mine up within days (Initially using every day for a week) and then whenever I was my hair, It has not come back since. I would be interested if this just works for me or if you try this and it works please pass it on.View Thread

A new study reveals that having hard water is linked to eczema and increase itching in kids. Researchers in England founds that children who lived in hard water areas (defined as calcium carbonate concentration of 258 mg/ L in the water supply) had up to a 5 times higher risk of developing eczema. Scientists theorize that hard water alters the barrier function of the skin. This may allow allergens and bacteria into the skin, leading to itching. It has yet to be shown if these kids' eczema improved when a water softener was introduced, but these studies are pending.View Thread

I was desperately searching the internet today for something to help me with the very same problem most of you mentioned. Coarse facial hair. I have tried many things with no results. I cannot say that this works for a fact, but in my research today I was able to find the following info on the Emjoi Total Concepts Epilator.
After much research and review I discovered that an epilator is basically just an electronic, high-powered device with multiple tweezers.
After watching many YouTube videos and reading some great reviews of the product i decided to order one from Amazon and give it a try. I have not received it yet, but after reading all of your individual stories (although they are from a while back it seems!) I felt that I needed to pass along any advice as we are all in the same boat!
It's worth a try and is only $35-$40.
I like that it is not a laser or chemical treatment, but more like a tweezer that will pull hair out from the root (in the past I have had problems with scarring from over tweezing my chin but from the reviews that doesn't seem to be an issue).
Also, one reviewer mentioned that the hair has begun to grow in slower over time (hallelujah!)
After trying waxing, tweezing, depilatories, and even turmeric to no avail, I am excited to give this a try!
Hopefully this helps you!
