Seeking Help for Rare Skin Condition Called Blaschkoid Dermatitis

Posted By Eileen (Sumter, Sc) on 09/02/2018

I have been diagnosed with a rare skin condition. It is called blaschkoid dermatitis. Fortunately I only have one streak on the back of my right leg starting at my ankle and going up to my right buttock. It’s about 1/2 inch wide. The dr gave me a steroid cream for 6 weeks but had little effect on it. It itches and is scaled at times. I have tried coconut oil and am now applying ace. Anyone have any knowledge of a cure for this?

Eileen, when all else fails, I would do Clay Poultices.

Eileen, I agree with Mmsg's suggestion for clay poultice, you can also make mineral rich baths with 2-3 cups minerals, pick from borax, Epsom salts, sea salts, baking soda and of course the clay. But being that your condition is inflammatory, you might look at taking some internal antiinflammatories, Ec'ers have had great success for some skin conditions using cilantro half to one bunch a day, or a good quality extract, and also turmeric. There are many anti inflammatories you can try, clove of garlic, grapefruit seed extract, Ginger, Olive leaf extract, etc, the point is to find what works for you. Whatever one you choose, start off slow, once a day, for about four days, then add another dose, slowly building up to four times a day. Keep a diary of foods /drinks that aggravate your symptoms, these are the cause and should be eliminated at least temporarily to allow your body to heal. I would also consider adding a refrigerated probiotic daily, for gut microbiome, as per label instructions. Keep reading, you will find what you need to heal. Best to you
