Beauty Tips For Body Care
The spots started on my torso 14 years ago. Eventually the spots started showing up all over, even my arms and legs. I've been to numerous dermatologists. I've tried prescription creams, treatments and various dietary changes and supplements. The only treatment that seemed to work over my whole body was oral fluconazole tablets (prescribed by my derm. for the tinea versicolor). However, the fluconazole only kept it away for a month at a time, and I know that it would eventually do a number on my liver. Hot springs seemed to help too, but I can't travel to one every week.To help simulate the hot spring's effect, I started putting a few tablespoons of Durvet Nu-Stock cream (which is 73% sulfur) into my baths at home. Sulfur smells strongly, but isn't so bad when diluted with some pleasant bath gel or oils. Some of the prescription creams were sulfur based, but they were hard to cover all-over consistently, and I ended up emitting a super strong sulfur rotten-egg odor all day after applying them. My dermatologist suggested washing with sulfur based dandruff shampoo, but it was hard to keep it on my skin long enough to be effective. The sulfur bath is so much more effective, pleasant and discrete.My tinea versicolor has been completely gone for months. I did this bath technique a few times a week at first, but now just use it every other week or so for maintenance. There isn't even a shadow of a spot anymore.I've read lots of forums where other people have had similar trouble getting rid of this fungal-based skin problem. I thought I'd share my experience in case it helps someone else.Another plus to sulfur baths, the hint of sulfur on the skin helps as bug repellent.In case there's a question of safety with sulfur baths, they are listed as a treatment for various skin ailments on this University of Maryland site:http://umm.edu/health/medical/altmed/supplement/sulfur
