Hello, I see someone has already suggested using Aloe Vera Gelly on the ulcers and I am writing to confirm that I really believe this can help you. Aloe Vera has the ability to penetrate down to the dermis, not just sit on the top two layers of skin, and heals from inside. It is a natural antibiotic and is sometimes known as the 'Burns ...

I have had a fungal infection, which I believe to be ringworm - Trichophyton rubrum, for 6 years. It started in one foot (left) and has now infected one hand (left).  It manifests itself in itchy blisters and makes my skin sore and cracked. It disfigures some of my nails. Altogether very uncomfortable (drives me to distraction sometimes) and ...

My son is a teenager with fairly typical acne.  It has been suggested by a manual medicine practioner that his bowels are not functioning as efficiently as they should -- he has recommended some pro-biotics (v. broad spectrum, high quality a must!) to help get this sorted.  He has just started taking them and I'll keep you posted ...

Aloe Vera may be the solution, since its anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory properties penetrate to the basal level dermis, healing from inside. I suggest you try Aloe MSM gel, since the MSM (s = sulphar) has proved very effective against acne. You could also consider using an aloe soap and facial scrub, plus ensure you moisturise your skin, ...

Hello I have a good friend who suffers much as you do with Rosacea. She too is very fair skinned.  I strongly suggest you try Aloe Vera Gelly - she found it really did help her, is very soothing and in time reduced the redness. She also moved her skin care regime onto pure Aloe products which did not aggravate her skin at all.  She ...

We human animals make a substance called trypsin, which is an important element in the working of our immune system.  However, a research scientist at the University of Iceland, investigating why trawlermen's wounds were famously faster to heal than normal, found that the codfish naturally  produces a much more effective form of ...

What is not obvious is that there is more than one form of scabies. One is the more regular form that usually shows up as red dots around finger webbing and other places. Another is the animal version which many fewer people get, or at least most people don't ever have a reaction to it or develop immunity after a short time or ...

All of a sudden the skin on my left arm has started to extremely prickle and itch, it just starts out of nowhere than stops after I have scratched my arm nearly to it bleeds. There are red patches now starting to show. It is driving me up the wall. The doctor says its dry skin but I am 100% sure it cannot be, its too extreme. Please ...

A patient of mine has loads of seborrhoeic keratoses on her abdomen and back - especially the abdomen. It is quite unsightly and she finds it very embarrassing. Any suggestions on how to treat them? Sofie-Ann
