Guest guest Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 I have a dilemma that I need some advice about. I have the Specific Carbohydrate Diet for six months and on LDN for 5 ½ months, and am having excellent results re: my Crohn’s, my allergies, asthma and arthritis. A few weeks ago I began to get irritated skin on my lower face, mostly on the lower cheeks, around the mouth and a bit on the chin. It itches like the blazes, and if I don’t put heavy-duty moisturizer on it, the skin gets dry (I tend to have dry skin in general). The tissues of my lower face are actually swollen (perhaps from scratching the area inadvertently while asleep. I try not to do that while awake, though it’s driving me crazy. The LDN has helped my allergies and asthma, so this particular thing – which seems allergy like – is odd. I can’t figure out what could be causing this. It sounds almost psoriasis like, but I’ve never had a problem with that. I don’t think I have a yeast problem – no (other) symptoms of that, and I’m taking oil of oregano and a homeopathic yeast remedy ( an oral spray; no sugar in it), just to make sure. Could it be somehow diet-related? That seems unlikely since I’m not eating anything now that I’ve ever reacted to before. I’ve tried any number of remedies, including anti-itch ointments, various serums, moisturizers, even DMSO with aloe. So far, it’s not going away. Comments? What else should I try? n (I’m copying this to a couple of related lists I’m on. One can never have too much good advice!) _________________________________________________ I blog at: www.ReformedRevelry.wordpress.com A " very readable biography " : Frideric Handel: A Music Lover's Guide by n Van Til Available at www.WordPowerPublishing.com and amazon.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
