I need more than 100 characters so if I get cut off I may need to continue with responses to this starter thread.

I am 71 and have had GA off and on for the last 50 years.  It usually take mine years to "develop" and fade...as much as a decade. I see no correlations and am always told there is no known cause and no cure.

I recently read there is some indication that Niacinamide can help it some.  So I am trying that now, but not in a very scientific manner I'm afraid. At the same time I started a little Betamethasone [steroid] I had from years ago [it never worked much in the past] covering it with a bees wax and shea butter stick called "The Healer" from Perfectly Posh [a skin care company] and the combination seems to have faded the rings by about 75% over 4 weeks.

?Niacinamide is safe. You need an RX for steroids. I got the bees wax stick from this link:    I don't sell their products. [They note that it is not considered a medicine.]

    I used the Niacinamide before 500 mg three times a day and mine went away. Occasionally it flares up but seems to rapidly recede.  Sometimes I think something I am allergic to triggers it.
