A reader’s 23-year-old son has had sarcoidosis of the skin for the last
two years. His eyes, lungs, heart, liver and kidneys have all been
checked and were fortunately found to be fine. The initial sign was a
small spot that didn't heal, followed by even smaller ones on his hands
and on the lobe of one ear. His dermatologist has advised that there
is no effective treatment other than steroids, but he didn't prescribe
them as he hoped that the disease would eventually “burn itself out”.
Her son has received regular homeopathic treatment, which has
definitely helped, but the problem remains and is unsightly and
embarrassing. He also suffers from facial acne, for which he takes
occasional courses of erythromycin. Do readers know of any natural
treatments that could help him with his skin problems? He eats fairy
healthily and has started taking selenium, zinc, goji berry capsules
and a daily multivitamin. However, he works long hours, which, his
mother feels, isn’t helping his immune system. What do readers advise?
Sadly, we’ve only had one suggestion for this reader’s son: a product
by Thursday Plantation called Tea Tree Herbal Skin Wash. According to
Barbara, it works wonders for acne.
