Don't forget that the auto immune "Pemphigus" can appear in many forms. It is not always the same. A lot of the cases that somehow find their way to me; have been treated for a year or two for unresponsive "Scratches" with every antibiotic known to man !

Much of the time it is properly "Pemphigus, Expressed as Coronary Dystrophy". [an auto immune condition] Thus it responds to Auto Immune Therapy. Most of these respond well to re-organizing the immune system by Transfer Factor.

I usually instruct clients to expect to observe positive response in 30 days. They almost invariably write or phone in 10 or 14 days to report good progress. Most often they say; "He is his old self!" THIS is how he acted 3 years ago ! !"

Regards,

Mac

I second Iain.

Washing works well, provided skin can then dry. So clipping essential.

Fuciderm might help.

When you've done the washes Clare, have you washed the lesions or gone beyond them onto clear skin? My advice for rain scald/mud fever/saddle folliculitis etc was always to clip for about 2 inches clear and wash then. Dermisol to soften and remove scabs.
