This has almost completely alleviated my skin symptoms! I still have breakouts with high stress, but along with a dairy- & gluten-free diet, my severe skin rash of ulcerating, itchy red bumps has gone away. It was a constant before I started Dapsone, and I would regularly have about 20-50 of them all over my body on any given day. It also seems to have helped my livedo reticularis, which was also a constant, with very deep color, all over my body - even on my face. Now, it is only occasional.

I used this while also going through accutane and getting kenalog injections, so I can't really be sure which part was helping...I felt better for awhile and the inflammation seemed under control but then I got the "moon face" side effect of the steroid and asked to be taken off of it
