Apple Cider Vinegar cured my Discoid Dermatitis. I wish that the dermatologists that I have consulted during the last 10 years would have told me about this wonder cure. But no, they rather sell you the expensive, useless and harmful steroid cremes. No wonder that our health system is so expensive and that the pharmaceutical industry is so profitable. Rotten to the bone!!! My positive feedback: I am cured!!!

I remember suffering from eczema since I was five years old. Two years ago I found out that I had dermatitis. I went to the doctor and they prescribe me a cream to help it go away and it worked. However, the dermatitis came back six months ago and I have just been using hydrocortisone cream. I would go through a 1 ounce tube of hydrocortisone cream a week and if I didn't have any hydrocortisone cream I would freak out. I first started taking ACV in February after a friend told me that it supports weight loss. After a few days of use I notice that the dermatitis was clearing up and after a week or so it was gone. It would takes months for the dermatitis to clear up with just the hydrocortisone cream alone, but with drinking two tablespoons of ACV with water three times a day, still applying the hydrocortisone cream and eating the right food (like no salt or sodium) it has helped significantly clear up my skin. Not only that but my mom has noticed that my face has really cleared up, my scalp doesn't suffer from dandruff like it use to, I sleep better at nights, and I have a lot more energy. I have dropped bout 15 pounds and I am still losing. It is a great relief to know that this summer for the first time in a long time that I can finally feel comfortable wearing shorts and skirts.

Because of such a severe case of contact dermatitis from overuse of yeast medicines, I was left unable to walk or sit comfortably, and my skin was too sensitive for any topical medications, and oral cortisone only worked temporarily. My mother suggested using 4 tbs. of white vinegar with some juice to kill the taste. I'm glad to tell you that the vinegar, along with rest, has put me on the road to recovery in only 4 days after battling this illness for 4 months!

When I turned 19, I started getting a rash on my legs in the heat. Then it gradually got worse in the cold. After I would get out of the shower my rash would get worse. Pretty soon my rash was there all of the time. I went to my Doctor and he gave me medicine -- it didn't work. He referred me to a dermatologist who gave me steroids and antibiotics, and cream. None of it helped my condition. Finally I started taking apple cider vinegar with 8 OZ. of water twice a day. In three days my rash was gone. I couldn't believe the results. I drank 2 TBS of ACV and @ TBS of Virgin Honey. It really worked for me. I have not had any bad effects with my teeth even though I have been taking it for three years.

I had what I believed to be Poison sumac/ severe contact dermatitis. I soaked my arm in oatmeal bath, then applied ACV with a spray bottle. I did this 3 times a day. It has only been 4 days it is almost gone. My skin began to get very dry & itchy, so the last 2 days I've only applied the ACV once a day. The last time I had this. I had to get a steroid injection & was on oral steroids 3 weeks. It took 3 weeks for the dermatitis to go away. It took 2 months for my skin to return to it's original color. My skin in the healed spots is already my original color.
