What Can Be Taken Internally to Prevent Contact Dermatitis

Posted By Pina (Holton, In, Usa) on 04/04/2012

Has anyone ever found anything to take internally that helps contact dermatitis? My doctor has given me prednisone by prescription but it really lowers the immune system so I only use it when everything else fails and my dermatitis is extremely bad and won't go away. I wondered if there was anything natural to take to help keep the dermatitis away.

Hi Pina ~ with contact dermatitis I think staying away from the irritant is key; perhaps an immune boosting supplement would help as well, but no contact with what irritates your skin is #1, in my opinion.
