I have (almost) beat this thing in two months after years of visiting a dermatologist with little luck. I am not against doctors or endorsing any product. What I did was in desperation and it worked in just over two months. I am 99 percent clear on my shins which is where the problem area was. This story is about what I did. I truly believe the key was keeping the area moisturized and natural sun when you can. The pictures should be accessible at the link below.
The Mixture:
I started out with putting liquid Vitamin D, cocoa butter petroleum jelly generic from Wal-Mart and Turmeric on the bad area. I would apply the triple combination the morning with rubber gloves and wrap with cling wrap over the mixture and an ACE style bandage to prevent the staining of clothing. I wore the bandage all day long. I cleaned the area at the end of the day with Dermarest Psoriasis Skin Treatment and added MG217 after cleanup and before the lamp. I also took up to 200mg Zinc and around 10,000 UI Vitamin D orally a day. I took half of both in the morning and the other half at bed time.
The lamp:
I bought two reptile bulbs, REPTISUN 10.0 UVB bulbs (48 inch 36 watt) and put them in a 32 watt 48 inch fixture from Lowes. I would put my legs (uncovered) under this light for at least an hour. Sometimes more sometimes less.
I did both treatments least 5 days a week during winter as it was easy to cover up with long pants. It took some time learning the securing the bandages so they would stay all day. I ultimately used safety pins. On the weekends I would apply MG217, liquid vitamin D and sometimes diaper rash ointment from Wal-Mart. I would get under the lamp as often as possible.
Last week I stopped with the petroleum/turmeric/bandage thing and went to just the MG217 and diaper rash cream and I can see its coming back. Next week I will go back to the petroleum/turmeric/bandage on Monday and Tuesday then lay off and see if it keeps in check. More later.
