That's very interesting, thanks for the response. If things ever get too unbearable you could consider seeing a naturopath as a last ditch effort. I cannot speak personally, but my cousin is the one who turned me onto this subject. She had been dealing with an illness for years and had been tested for so many things by multiple doctors and kept getting misdiagnosed. Finally she went to see a naturopath out of desperation and the results have been night and day. I can't remember exactly what was wrong with her but it wasn't skin related anyway. Her remedy was a mix of herbal medicine, diet changes (wheat, dairy, corn --she found out she was allergic to these) and lifestyle changes to reduce her stress levels.

I know what it's like to see multiple doctors for something and get absolutely no results and to just accept it. Clearly you've got a handle on how to cope with your condition and I wish you the best.

Naturopathy or homeopathic does not mean using the thing which you are allergic to to cure yourself.. nor does it mean using huge amounts of water.. Your response really confuses me. It is a holistic approach, away from drugs. Since you obviously have extremely sensitive skin my thought process was wondering if perhaps some of the things you are using on your skin are actually doing some harm since there are numerous chemicals in them. A Naturopath would only recommend natural remedies such as an oil or ointment made of a certain plants which are known for its healing properties (as one example, I'm not a naturopath nor do I study this stuff). But my point basically is that they would be recommending things that dont have harsh or irritating chemicals in them.

My question was genuine and I am still curious as to whether you have tried this approach. Since you have been dealing with this for so long, I figured you have tried everything so I was wondering how that worked out.

What?

I don't know if you answered the wrong question or if that has a different meaning where you live...?

Have you ever gone to a naturopath or tried homeopathic remedies?
