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."

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

I feel so fortunate to have found this site. Though my skin is usually problem free, I had contacted a really bad case of some sort of dermititis. Flaky, scaley, red patched on my cheeks, chin, in my eyebrows. My family history has eczema and psoriosis and I was freaking out that suddenly my face was victim to my family history. The skin on my nose was peeling off like sheets of phylo dough. Being a believer in natural remedies, and one of the millions of uninsured persons in the US, I needed to find a natural solution. Plus I was on the job interview circuit and could not show up to an interview looking like a victim of a bad skin peel job. I read about others on this site using ACV and the success they had using this topically and drinking it. I immediately began applying it to my face 2x a day, and drinking about 2 TBS 2x a day. It did sting the raw/affected parts of my face at first. To calm the burning feeling I used a little bit of Eucerin Calming Cream 5 minutes after applying the ACV. The cream used for burns, so I figured it was worth a try. The cream was great, I only needed it for a few days. As my skin started to heal, the burning was less and less. It took me a few days to get used to smelling like a salad, but once the odor evaporated the benefits were so worth it. Within 3 days my skin wasa 80% better. After 5 days 90% better. It's been a little more than a week, and my skin is looking healthy, and cured, by 100%. The skin on my face is once again soft and smooth, no dry patches. I'm hesitant to stop using and drinking the ACV because my skin condition was so bad before. I'm getting ready to travel and am trying to figure out how to fly with ACV - it is a natural miracle for distressed skin!

Hi, I am trying out the ACV for my contact dermatitis and it seems to be giving me tremendous relief. I also am applying a drop of oil of oregano to water and dabbing it on. This is also helping a treat!!

My dermatitis skin rash disappeared in 24-48 hours using ACV. I read your site about using apple cider vinegar, the testimonials is what made me start to use it. So I purchased Heinz apple cider vinegar and began drinking 2 tbls in green tea 3 times a day for two days now, and applied topically the vinegar to the affected area and low and behold my skin is smooth to the touch no scales or chapped skin left. I am so amazed! I also notice a boost in energy and an overall sense of well being. I will purchase the _______s version from the health food store so that I receive the whole benefits, but in the short time I have been using this, it's just short of a miracle! If you live with something for years and have tried everything and I mean everything to no avail, and something simple and over the counter (Apple cider vinegar) comes along you try it at least once...and for me the taste isn't too strong, its so worth it! I will keep drinking it and I will also apply some of the other stuff I have read on her like the blackstrap molasses! Thanks Earth Clinic for being here!

When I turned 19, I started getting a rash on my legs in the heat. Then it gradually got worse in the cold. After I would get out of the shower my rash would get worse. Pretty soon my rash was there all of the time. I went to my Doctor and he gave me medicine -- it didn't work. He referred me to a dermatologist who gave me steroids and antibiotics, and cream. None of it helped my condition. Finally I started taking apple cider vinegar with 8 OZ. of water twice a day. In three days my rash was gone. I couldn't believe the results. I drank 2 TBS of ACV and @ TBS of Virgin Honey. It really worked for me. I have not had any bad effects with my teeth even though I have been taking it for three years.
