My Dermatologist just gave up on my GA. Are there a ny cures that really work?

I've learned that GA occurs when our bodies are trying to detox something from our largest organ (our skin). as you know, prednisone just suppresses the symptoms but doesn't get to the root cause of them. find a functional medicine doctor (they can be hard to locate but most will see patients long-distance via computer) to help you figure out what is off, and in the meanwhile try to detox your liver and get your bowels moving so your other detox pathways can do their job as efficiently as possible.  good luck!!

Chloroquine worked for my disseminated GA when nothing else would.

Lucy how have you tried Prednisone?  I am now 4 months free but it will come back I know.  I had two allergic reactions back to back with the treatment of benedryl and prednisone and to my surprise it took away the GA .  So far I am still clear but I think it will return, I don’t think this is a cure but it knocked it hard.  If it worked for 6 months I would entertain thoughts of twice a year back to back treatments of the two to keep clear.

Once again, I was on Chloroquine for 3 months, the suggested term, and thought I was seeing some improvement. My doctor approved a 4th month and at the moment I'm GA free. I can't prove it wasn't the natural course of things but it's worth giving it a try. 

We all want a cure .However nobody seems to know one. Therefore, let's look to common experiences or genetic predisposition. Has anyone living in close contact with anyone that has it also?

I've had GA for 20 years.  I first noticed it after I traumatized my skin using a defective skin product that burned my skin that was then followed up with sun exposure in July.  I do believe that this is a disease caused by damage to the skin.  Most of the US doctors that are in the know about GA prescribe Clobetasol topical cream.  It is the only treatment that works for me.  Prednisone works better, but its effects do not last and there are more side effects.  Clobetasol is safer if used correctly - only 2 weeks at a time on and then 2 weeks at a time off.  I will say that for me, Clobetasol has keep the GA in check.  However with 80% of your body affected, I am  not sure if this will work for you.  Maybe you can use it on the most noticeable parts of your body, The other thing that I am doing is taking a Boswellia Serrata supplement daily.  You can find supplements on Amazon. That herb is used to block enzymes in the body that cause inflammation. And I think it is working but it takes a few months to have a noticeable effect.  I think it is a disgrace that research is not being done to find treatments for GA. I was told that finding a solution for GA is not a profitable venture because too few people have this condition to make it worthwhile.
