Who else has dermatomyositis?

[Guest guest]

Or other connective tissue disease? I've had the dms for years, one of the first manifestations of it was a dry scaly rash on my fingers. My chest physician has been trying to reduce my steroid intake and this rash is coming back. I'm certain the two are connected and I have an appointment to see my rhuemy, but not til june.

When I first had it I found some relief by soaking my hands in oils and creams, but this time it doesn't seem to be working, does anyone else have any home remedies I can try?

At the moment, until I see my rhuemy I just want to stave it off rather than get rid of it completely so he can see what I'm dealing with but I don't want it getting to the point it was before I went on the pred where the skin would crack and break.

Any ideas?
