    I almost feel embarrassed complaining about my rashes or itchiness when I read testimonials like the 2 of you. I'm inferring from your answers that moisturizing or not isn't a factor in the healing? And here I go on another confession: My wife is a student of alternative medicine and should have earned her PhD if time on the internet counted towards...

    Last question....for now..LOL...when treating my rash as eczema ....i was told about the critical need to use lots of moisturizers . I was wondering if that is also true for DH . I almost feel that some of the bumps would go away if they had a chance to dry out.

    Thanks to you both. I am grasping at straws at this point. Prior to dapsone I was taking 1/2 a Advil pm ( high sal..LOL) every 4 hours or so to help reduce the itch during work, no drowsiness but still not a good idea. Not to belabor the point, but I drink 2 cups or coffee, 2-3 glasses wine every day. My wife wanted me to add MSM to my regimine but it...

    This thread is turning into a diary, so although I may be being self indulgent, I thought I'd share some thoughts. And a twist.. Dec 5th marked about 5 weeks on dapsone, and saw my dermatologist and told her I was thinking about discontinuing dapsone and see if rash, itch worsen. She noted that my improvement from dapsone was not as great as she was...

    Sorry, but re-reading my post I'm thinking I may have been a little vague with my situation. My bloodwork and biopsy was negative for DH but since I used a steroid cream, the negative result is "contaminated". My dermatologist thinks I might have DH and looking at the photo bank, ..etc , I think I have DH. So my dilemma is that I don't really know if...

    Thanks to all... I have been gluten-free and LI and lactose free for past 3 weeks..but still have my wine. I have been taking dapsone 50mg for 2 weeks and 100 mg daily for 1 week. I have seen significant improvement on ears, arms and back...but still have neck hairline and clavicle rashes. More frustrating is I am still seeing new bumps here and there...

    Thanks to you both. By avoiding gluten, I meant that the list will not be only gluten.. but include latex and the foods in the latex family. I will also avoid wine...bummer... A couple of years I was on the HCG diet...no sugars, wine , 500 calories a day and very restricted diet of 1 lean protein and one veg off a short list of choices. 8 glasses water...

    I have posted on another thread, but I thought I should share my story and see what ya'll think. I apologize in advance of the rambling nature of this post I'm a 56 male who takes no prescriptions, but also doesn't drink water. I'll have 2 glasses of coffee and 2 glasses of wine, but not because I'm thirsty. I share that because when I began having...

    This is my first post and don't mean to hijack this thread, but I have asked my dermatologist to prescribe dapsone as an aid in diagnosis and treating a migrating and moderately itchy rash that I have been dealing with for approx 3 months. It is my understanding that DH rashes are intensely itchy, but mine is a 4 on a 10 point scale. I have been trying to...
