How to Cure Skin Diseases

If you've looked at the pages I've recently completed on pictures of skin disease, you're already aware of this fact.

They may be caused by auto-immune disorders, hereditary conditions, allergic reactions, viruses, fungi, or bacteria.

Additionally, although not actually considered a disease, as we grow older, aging affects our skin in ways that can be very difficult to deal with. If this skin aging isn't dealt with, it can further compromise our health as well.

For all of the above reasons, the best method for curing skin diseases may be to prevent them.

Nonetheless, if you are suffering from skin diseases, you are undoubtedly looking for a cure, and the more serious the disease, the more you will be searching.

How to Cure Skin Diseases
Understand their Cause

So if you are suffering from a skin disease, a visit to your doctor should be your first step.

Based on what you find out from your doctor, you can take further steps to cure your skin disease.

If your skin disease is caused by an infectious agent, such as a virus, bacteria, or fungus, the cure will be to eliminate, or overcome, the cause of the disease.

This can frequently be accomplished by taking conventional medicines. If the disease is caused by bacteria, antibiotic medicines are a good approach.

However, if you don't want to use a prescription antibiotic, or can't due to another health condition, there are several natural antibiotics that should also cure the condition.

If the disease is caused by viruses, or fungi, the doctor may prescribe drugs, but the drugs may, or may not, truly cure them.

Additionally, some of the drugs can be quite dangerous to your health on their own.

When considering a prescription, always ask your doctor whether the medicine will treat and "cure" the cause of the disease, or whether it is only intended to alleviate the symptoms, because conventional medicine has no treatment for the underlying cause of the disease.

If the medicine only controls symptoms, you will want to consider carefully whether the benefits of the drug out weigh the long term health risks it may also pose.

If the disease is auto-immune, or allergic in nature, conventional medicine only uses steroids and other "drugs" to control the symptoms, because they don't really understand the causes of these diseases, and consequently can't treat them.

In these situations, you may well want to consider alternative treatments that will address the underlying causes of the diseases, instead of just treating the symptoms.

My Experiences

Of course, I'm not a doctor, so not qualified to give medical opinions, or advice. Please understand that fact. I am simply writing about what has worked for me and for others I know.

My interest in this question is far more personal than academic. Since chemo-therapy treatments for cancer, about eight years ago, my skin has become an increasingly difficult health challenge.

I've had far more trouble with allergic reactions than before. Additionally, during the winter I've had more problems with dry skin accompanied by accelerated wrinkling, sagging, and other signs of aging.

I suspect my problems would be far worse, were I not taking several health supplements recommended elsewhere on this site.

However, in researching this page, I've realized there are some I've stopped taking that I may need to add to my supplement regimen again.

These nutritional supplements are one of the best ways to prevent skin diseases, if you aren't yet afflicted, or to recover from them if they are caused by auto-immune or allergic reactions.

How to Cure Skin Diseases
Use Natural Antibiotics

Both of these can be applied topically to skin rashes, or other skin diseases, and for many people will offer a cure.

They probably won't work as quickly as a prescription antibiotic, anti viral, or anti fungal drug would, but they are usually a much gentler treatment as well.

My Recommendations

Research has also demonstrated many of these same nutrients, plus a couple of hormones are very helpful in improving skin health when applied externally.

The hormones are Dimenthylaminoethanol (DMAE), and Melatonin. They are also available separately, but more economical if you find one cream that provides many of them.

These types of creams are available as well. Several I consider reliable are available from Dr. Lark, the Life Extension Foundation, or Stem Tech Health Sciences. They are:

• Trilane -Available from Dr. Lark
  
• Rejuvenex -Available from the Life Extension Foundation and recommended for daytime use.
  
• Dream Cream -Also available from LEF, and recommended for night time use.
  
• Derma Stem is a new all natural skin serum developed to support your skin's ability to stay young. It does this by increasing the skin's stem cells to renew your skin at the cellular level. It is truly the wave of the future in skin care. Click on the link to get all your questions answered, or to order.

How to Cure Skin Diseases
Try Homeopathic Formulas

If you are interested in trying them, I'd recommend you see someone who specializes in homeopathy, or visit Hpathy, a site that gives a lot of information about homeopathic remedies and what conditions they best treat.

Another similar site is ABC Homeopathy. This site lets you choose the symptoms you're dealing with, and then tells you which remedy will be most helpful. For some people I suspect homeopathy might be "how to cure skin diseases".

If you find a homeopathic remedy that has really helped you, please let us all know, by telling us about the problem you were having and how it helped, on our "Your Best Supplements" page.

How to Cure Skin Diseases
Summary

Conventional medical approaches may work for infectious skin diseases caused by viruses, bacteria, or fungi.

However, if your skin disease is caused by allergies or auto-immune dysfunction, nutritional and alternative approaches will much more quickly, and permanently, heal your skin disease.

Most drugs prescribed to deal with these conditions don't treat the causes but only control the symptoms; that isn't a cure.

Although not every skin disease can be cured, many can be, if you're willing to provide the enhanced nutrition your skin needs to heal.
