CURED AFTER 25 YEARS

The doctors said I'd never get rid of the excema/psoriasis on my palms and the soles of my feet. I had it for over 25 years. They had me on every cream, ointment, steroid shot, special soaps etc., that they could get me to pay for. Nothing worked. I spent thousands of dollars.

Then I read that one can be allergic to ibuprophen, something I took nearly every day for 25 years. I stopped taking ibuprophen and switched to acetaminophen and the excema/psoriasis I'd suffered from all those years went away within a week. That was ten years ago. It turned out to be an allergy, who knew--certainly not the dermatologists!!

I hope this helps someone. :)

Re: CURED AFTER 25 YEARS

Thanks for sharing this! I googled ibuprophen online and side effect doesn't include eczema so maybe that's why it got unnoticed by your doc. It's actually quite a common fever med given even for kids in Singapore - may I ask why you're taking it daily? for anti-inflammation? on your skin?

Glad to hear things are better!
