I am 65 and have had this condition for 6 years. Ihave tried all the home remedies.Everything burns like crazy. Everytime I see the doctor she tells me to keep using clobetasol and estrogen.I've had some success,but now the skin is really getting thin.Extra stress has sent me into a very painful flare. Now dr is talking about oral steroids,or,steroid injections,antidepressents.I don't like any of these options.What to do? Is it aggravated by stress,diet thyroid problems,depression?? This is a condition that needs more research!If any of you can give me an idea to calm a firey flare I would be very grateful. Thank you and sending good thoughts to all who suffer with this condition.
