Acidophilus or ACV?Question by Nancy (Chicago, IL) on 12/10/2006

suffering from reoccurring contact dermatitis on the palms of my hands and dry, red, itchy patches under my eyes and around my mouth.
If it is a contact dermititis, it would be much easier to just use topical application to work the best. So apply lavender + tea tree oil 6 times a day and if this doesn't work out after three days, just try a hydrogen peroxide 1% plus saturated solution of borax.
If you are in a hurry, often a simple bottle of plain old vinegar applied to the skin in question often enough will stop the problem, so no need to go a long way such as yogurt, or acv or other things. Try the simplest possible approach first: keep appling vinegar for 6 hours (this is the time to get a 100% kill for most viral organism in practice but this is applied every 15-30 minutes), with many applications during that period and see how it goes. And if it works find keep doing it for a couple more days just to be sure. Should you have problems during application of vinegar in the first couple of minutes or an hour, just stop.
