    Yes, stess and anxiety causes flare ups. Your doctor will know what to prescribe for your chest and something to calm the itching.
    If your at the groups website, Look to your left and click on the “Link” and read some of the info there about SD.

    Hi Nat,
    I’ve never been prescribed steroids. Your best bet is not to worry and allow your doctor to prescribe what they believe will help your SD.
     
    Read threw some of the older messages about over the counter products. But pay attention to the ingredients! Do not put SLS on your body and stay away from fragrances. Use only 100% all natural ingredients in all of your personal care products, and be careful what foods and drinks you put into your body. And by all means, avoid sugar, soda pop, and candy. 
     
    My diet consist of meat, fish, turkey, and chicken. Occasionally, I’ll have some bacon and ham. I also eat
    salads, potatoes, veggies, fresh fruit, and fresh walnuts. I drink 100% pure juice, tea and coffee. For an occasional treat, I’ll have some pure dark chocolate with almonds from Trader Joes. I also take dietary supplements.
     
    The products that I use for my skin and body are not cheap, but last a very long time. Same goes for the meds that are prescribed for my skin. And, I only use prescribed meds when I can not control a small flare-up.
    Keep in mind, that what works for me, might not work for you. With that said, if you or anyone else is interested in the products that I’m currently taking, I’ll list them with links. They are all U.S. companies and everything that I use can be purchased online.

    Hi Natasha,
    The meds that I use are:
    1) Clobetasol Propionate Tropical Solution USP, 0.05% for my scalp - as needed.
    2) Clobetasol Propionate Ointment USP, 0.05% for my neck area when red, chest area, and knuckles - as needed.
    3) Protopic Ointment 0.1% when my SD is inflamed around my t-zone area. NOTE: I use so little Protopic, that my 30g tube is still 90% full, after 2 years!
     
    The alternative products that I use, are all from American companies. See the list that I posted to Rob. 
    Except for the meds, I try to avoid all potentially harmful ingredients put on my skin, such as: SLS, Propylene Glycol, Fragrances, DEA, Tallow, Talc, and SLES to name a few items usually found in personal
    care products.
     
    Look for 100% All Natural products, not just natural, but 100% All Natural.

    To Rob and Nat,
    One fact about Soravil Body Gel. I use it because 3% Salicylic Acid is it’s active ingredient. However, the inactive ingredients are something I would usually avoid. My point. If you visit a site, make sure you read the ingredients if your considering purchasing their products.
