Over a period of years my homeopath has cured all my health problems except for the past two years I am left with a rash on my face that we can't get rid of. It feels like it started when I was about three weeks old. I have used petro and it helped some initially. Then used asterias rubens and this helps too. But the red raised skin comes back and gets covered with surface little white heads that come up over night. The face is red at evening and pale first thing in the morning and gets worse as the day goes on. I feel well in every other respect now. One doctor called it Roseaca. In the past a high dose of Nux V helped me a lot mentally and and a low dose did help the skin, but it just keeps coming back. Any suggestions?

A holistic or homoeopathic approch is needed.All the symptoms from mind to skin.The redness worsening towards evening may be due to sun exposure.

Thank you. I live in the north and so I don't get much sun, but yes my face does get very red if I do get to much sun. It seems more like food I eat, but I can't tell how to find out what foods.

Okay...more info is definitely needed. Email me if you need further assistance.

For starters change your diet to include/exclude the following for a week and see if you notice a significant change:

Exclude
-------
Garlic
Ginger
Papayas
Nuts (cashews,peanuts, walnuts, almonds, etc..)
Deep fried foods (Foods with chesse is ok )
Food containing a lot of oil.

Include
-------
One serving of Yogurt
One serving of Milk
Make sure you drink 64oz of water every day during this trial period.
Make sure you are getting your vitamins and minerals (One A Day supplements will help)


Record the color of your urine - especially in the morning.

Thankyou so much for offering me some suggestions. I do apprieciate it, and I do suspect all these things

Garlic
Ginger
Papayas
Nuts (cashews,peanuts, walnuts, almonds, etc..)
Deep fried foods (Foods with chesse is ok )
Food containing a lot of oil

Yes I will do the following
One serving of Yogurt plain with not sugar?
One serving of Milk
Make sure you drink 64oz of water every day during this trial period. 64 oz. about 1.9 litres? water a day.
Make sure you are getting your vitamins and minerals (One A Day supplements will help)

My face is better when I take lots of vitamins but I just get tired of doing that.

I will follow this advise and report back in one week.

gylm - I am glad I am not the only one. It has gotten so back that I hardly go out anymore, people are afraid that what I have is contagious and I don't like to cause others to get concerned or worry.

Any yogurt with or without sugar is fine. Make sure that they have active cultures in them.

Try to drink atlest 2.25 liters.

Thank you for discussing this. I have the same problem. Itchy red bumps with whiteheads on my face. I will be following this thread.

OK

Oh my, oh my, oh my. I am so exited about the results that I couldn't wait the full week. My red face is at least 40% better. I was not aware of the large amount of fat in my diet........ and the water!! well! well! well..!I never could drink water. I could take a cup of tea and make it last at least two hours. So I tried cold water, couldn't get it down. Hot water and well to hot to drink, then I tried warm water yuck..........! but I can drink warm water and am almost getting the daily requirement now. I get less and less bumps on my face in the evening and actually have some areas on my face now that are not red.
I can't believe what a simple change can make!
Thank you, thank you I will check back in several more days.

THis is very a interesting response BestRemedy.
It must be a naturopathic approach.
COuld you give us an explanation for your suggestions? It would be interesting to understnad.
thanks,
Doctorleela
