The bad news is that is no cure ,the good news is that you can do a lot to *try* to keep your dermatitis under control.

Do you know what causes it to you? Mine is my IgE levels are over the moon.

I'm willing to switch information with you. I have been trhough so much that I'll be more than happy if I can help you easy your pain.

You can post here or PM.

Thanks so much, Anna. I can't believe you have had this for ten years!! How can you stand it?
I don't know what caused the flareup I had. The doctor told me it was caused by stress mostly.
What is IgE?
I would be very interested to hear your story about this. Right now, it seems to have cleared up with the meds the doctor gave me. I still have telltale syptoms occasionally. My Mom has had it for awhile and she would be so very happy to hear about some of the things you've done to control it.

Thanks again and I hope you'll get some relief soon.
