Apple Cider Vinegar Treatment for Dermatitis

I tried ACV for dermatitis after a doctor prescribed Desonide with no success. After a couple of weeks, I saw no real results - my skin seemed slightly better on the first day, but even with consistant daily applications I saw no major change. Another doctor has put me on doxycycline, which seems to be working fairly well, but is making my psoriasis flair.

Hi I was so excited after reading all the yeas for acv, but unfortunetly it didnt work for me. I tried it for 2 day topically 2x-3x daily, and 2tlbs 1x a day with orange juice. The end of the 2nd day my pd was bright pink, and not diminishing. For the first day I was applying it neat, the second day I wet the cotton first- but its just making it worse. I filled my perscription of minocycline, and elidel. I've cut sugar, fruits, grains, starches, and yeasts from my diet, and hopefully when my pd calms down I will be able to continue with natural remedies. Thank you for this website- it helps so much to know that Im not alone in this.

I have had Perioral Dermatitis on and off since I was a teen. I did try ACV while I was pregnant and did not seem to help. Any other ideas? I will probably have to end up taking Tetracycline. THANKS,
Cari

After the dermatitis cleared up the ACV seemed to make it worse. I gave up all the doctor's medication and I also stopped all the self treatment because I was lookin really bad and it hurt by this point. After a lot of thinking I decided to find a really good dermatologist and see what happens. I did find a really well known doctor and the day I saw him I gave him a little resumee of my condition and symptoms for the last 6 yers. After taking a sample to the lab he said that it is actually an ATOPIC DERMATITIS meaning ECZEMA. He also said he found a type of bacteria that usualy lives on the human body anyway but it was more concentrated where my iritation and lesions were. He gave me low dose cortison creams and he said that in order to have a normal life I would have to use this as minimal as I can for a long time. He also said that for some people it goes away on it's own and for others it never cures. So I decided to have a normal life without living in a glass globe. I am better now then I was on the natural self treatment. I even did a liver cleanse and a Candida cleanse but no change. Now I am using the steroids and I have started to use make up again. I feel ok and if I put the creams on when I feel an out break I have no issues. My advice is that you must really find out what kind of condition you relly have without guessing on your own. If none of the natural treatments work do not give up and find a good doctor. I have not heard of people dieing because of some medicated creams. I was more stressed when I was trying to buy all the organic natural miracle cures. I am convinced that the natural plants have many good healthy uses and I am still buying some of them. I still use organic creams and cosmetics. Now that I have my eczema under controll I am not stressed out anymore. I hope my feed back helps. I think this site is extremly helpfull for many people. I will continue reading all the testemonies.

Dermatitis and Apple Cider Vinegar: Hi, just report back after about a month since I tried ACV. Unfortunatly, after a week or so the rash began to return, and as I foolishly spent a day in the sun, it was quite red and the bumps were coming back. I tried a homeopathic cream from Walgreens called Prosacea; and after three weeks I am nearly healed.I was worried that my skin would become resistant to this product the way it did to ACV.Immediatly after applying the cream, the redness and itch began to cease. Blessings, Christine.

Hello all, After 2 weeks of using apple cider vinegar, my severe dermatitis is still as bad as ever.The first few days showed improvement but it was downhill afterwards. My case of dermatitis is very severe and i've had it for 20 years, so dont give up out there. I'm sure it will help some. Meanwhile, those of us who are still fighting this awful disease will continue to search for relief."
