drop in humidity. Im not sure if this has anything to do with my
sebderm, but I not ruling it out. Thanks all…

When I went to New Orleans for vacation for a week, I
had a remission. I am not sure, however, if it was
the high humidity or the soft water that helped. If
you look in the list archives, you can check out that
thread.

Where were you from when you went to New Orleans? Was a a change from
a low humidy to a high humidity? The reason I ask is because I will
be going from Michigan (high) to Arizona (low) for a few weeks.
Thanks.

Sorry about that last one, I should have read the previous posts
before asking any questions. Sandra, what part of AZ do you live? Ill
be in Tempe for a few weeks visiting some friends. I am a little
nervous though since I havent been in a dry climate like that before.

I live in AZ, and New Orleans is even more humid than
Michigan, so the change in humidity was particularly
dramatic. It was weird, because my skin was literally
perfect by the end of about day #2 in the south.
Really, though, it could have been the soft water. I
pretty much eliminated all other reasons for the
dramatic improvement.

I live in Tempe! It’s dry here. You’re in luck,
though, because this is probably the wettest part of
the year out here! You’ll love it though — my
husband and I came out here from Wisconsin, and we’re
never going back - except to visit, of course
I’m still unsure of the effect of humidity, though.
When I jumped onto the list to report my miraculous
week-long remission after my vacation in New Orleans,
someone else who LIVES in New Orleans jumped in to
note that they feel humidity worsens their condition,
which leads me to believe it could have been the
sodium in the excessively-softened water that
permeates the south.
Hopefully the sunshine will help you a bit out here,
though! Be careful, though, because I’ve found the
sunshine to be a double-edged sword. You look good
for a couple of days, then it’s flake time.

Yeah, I have been checking the humidity out there the past few weeeks and it has been the highest I have seen. Last week it was up to 80%, when normally its around 20%. Thats great that you live in Tempe. I am actually going on this trip to check out if I want to move down there or not after I graduate. Most of my friends tell me once I go down there, I will never want to go back.

doesn’t this fact then show you that its the *change* that instigates the
remission rather than the level of humidity?

I hope so

That could be, but I am pretty skeptical that the
humidity is even related to this condition. I have
gone to humid places in the past and experienced
outbreaks. I bought a humidifier and put it next to
my bed so that it pointed straight at my face — to no
effect.
I have a feeling it might be the soft water in the
hotels, specifically the sodium that is often used in
that process. Someone posted awhile back that they
noticed improvements when they had spent some on
vacation where they swam frequently in the ocean, so
maybe the salty water has some positive effect. I
would love to get a water softener, but I checked into
it and found out that it would be pretty expensive.
