Do take the time to read through the groups archives to form your own
opinion on ACV as a treatment for SD.
Don’t believe what you’ve heard about the smell, it’s gone within
five minutes of application. I would saturate my scalp, face, neck
and shoulders with this stuff before work and no-one could smell a
thing.
It took two or three weeks to clear my scalp, and about ten more
weeks to clear my face. I had some pretty intense flare ups in those
ten weeks due to steriod withdrawl and the acidity of the ACV. But
the results are infinitely worth the temporary discomfort.
The moderator of the ACV group is very passionate about what he
calls ‘The SD friendly diet’. I’ll let you make your mind up about
that. I feel an anti-candida diet is just as effective and less
restrictive. But be sure, if you are eating rubbish to start with, a
change in diet is essential to kick start your clearing process.
I really have to stress from experience, that it is quite difficult
to transition from steriod cream use to ACV treatment. Your skin can
do some pretty crazy and unpredictable things when you stop using
steriod creams. It’s usually recommended that a cream like nizoral
is used temporarily to ease the steriod withdrawl symptoms.
A brief summary of the ACV self treament would be to say it is a
three pronged attack.
1. Everyday ingest and saturate yourself in as much ACV as you can
stand!
2. Hygiene! Shower and mild shampoo your hair twice a day
3. Follow a strict diet that is known to be SD friendly.
Be patient and persistant and above all else stop using steriod
creams. You do know that steriod creams spread SD don’t you? Ever
noticed how steriod creams clear your SD only to have it come back
even worse and in more areas? It’s a vicious and endless circle,
resulting in thinned skin, broken spider veins, maybe even steriod
induced Rosacea.
Please consider throwing out ALL of your chemicals and go natural,
I’m one million percent happy that I did.
I’m willing to talk about my experince with ACV self treament in more
detail if you would like to email me about it.
Good luck.

Richard,
Many people have cleared their SD and improved (if not cured) their
Rosacea using ACV. The speed of results are dependant on the
individuals treatment history and how progressed your SD and Rocacea
are. Go over to the other group and search the archives for posts
about Rocacea, you’ll be pleasantly surprised. The testimonials by
the groups members are all genuine and most are very willing to
discuss their history and treatments.
To answer your question ‘Will ACV aggrivate rosacea?’, my guess is
yes. BUT, that is how ACV works the first few times you use it on
your face. Extra redness is normal with this treatment, please
remember that. I didn’t clear until ten weeks into the treatment and
only after going through some massive flair ups. But my SD has gone
now, and I wouldn’t give that up for the world!
Good luck, Scott.
