buy an anti-fungal cream such as tinactin or lotrim keep using about a week after the fungus appears to be gone, never heard of the vinegar treatment

I have had it since I was a little kid. No cure but there are drugs that can help. The side affects stopped me from using them.

there is no cure BUT...you can absolutely keep it controlled by therapy and medications.  I have a friend who has been diagnosed with this terrible disease and because of the meds, you would NEVER know...just like you and me!  The site i posted in the source gives you some great resources...

I don't know if this'll cure it, but try Neutrogena Body Clear scrub w/ a body brush. I like it and it might just help a little. Good luck on that.\n\np.s. glad to help, Pal. Give this stuff a shot, it's worked very well for me. BTW, it's located in the cosmetic / bubble-bath isle at Walmart. Cheap and good... can't beat a deal like that!! Be sure and get a brush, too. Oh God, am I chatting?!

I don't  know if mederma would work. Possibly Retin-A or a dermabrasion would work.

I've tried everything I can to no avail.  I have two patches that refuse to go away.  They'll subside a bit, then flare up with a vengeance.  Sunlight and artificial sunlight may help.  Cortisone creams (Rx from Doc - the OTC stuff doesn't help).  Keep applying good lotions -- that seems to help fight off the plaque build-up. Warm showers and baths.\n\nVitamins, supplements, diet and lifestyle -- any things that boost your immune system are highly recommended.\n\nDon't despair.  You're not alone.  Docs and researchers are bound to make a breakthrough.  (Soon, I hope!!!)\n\nHere's a couple of websites:\n\nhttp://skintherapyletter.com/\n\nhttp://www.skincareguide.com/\n\nI'll add more links when I get a chance.  I believe I have more url's saved in another directory I can't go to right this second.\n\nGood luck.  I'll be checking back for tips myself.\n\nP.S.  The Rx I'm using now is Eucerin cream with triamcinolone added (a corticosteroid).

check out:www.mamashealth.com/allergies/sinunitis.asp for some suggestions...i'd also suggest having him drink a warm cup of chamomile tea with a teaspoon of honey-it helps alleviate the swelling since chamomile is a natural anti-inflammatory plant....perhaps tylenol sinus combo might help-it comes in a pack for daytime and nite time relief-give it a shot! it sounds like your husband may need some antibiotics to clear up this infection that may have started out as sinus issue...i understand your current situation with the insurance...perhaps try another doctor under a different health plan? \ngarlic is another very potent source used to rid a lot of germ creating pathogens-you can have him suck on a clove-i know it sounds nasty but after the initial sting, it will bring the relief! that may rid him of the symptoms he's experiencing till he can get to see a proper doctor! hope he feels better!

Granuloma annulare is a long-term (chronic) skin disease consisting of a rash with reddish bumps arranged in a circle or ring.\nCauses, incidence, and risk factors    \nGranuloma annulare most often affects children and young adults. It is slightly more common in girls.\nThe condition is usually seen in otherwise healthy people. Occasionally, it may be associated with diabetes or thyroid disease. Its cause is unknown.\nSymptoms  -  Granuloma annulare usually causes no other symptoms, but the rash may be slightly itchy.\nPatients usually notice a ring of small, firm bumps (papules) over the backs of the forearms, hands or feet. Occasionally, multiple rings may be found.\nRarely, granuloma annulare may appear as a firm nodule under the skin of the arms or legs.\n\nSigns and tests -  Your physician may consider the diagnosis of fungal infection when looking at your skin. A skin scraping and KOH test can be used to tell the difference between granuloma annulare and a fungal infection.\n\nA skin biopsy may also be necessary to confirm the diagnosis of granuloma annulare.\n\nTreatment - Because granuloma annulare is usually asymptomatic (causes no symptoms), treatment may not be necessary except for cosmetic reasons.\n\nVery strong topical steroid creams or ointments are sometimes used to speed the disappearance of the lesions. Injections of steroids directly into the rings may also be effective. Some physicians may choose to freeze the lesions with liquid nitrogen.\n\nIn severe cases, ultraviolet light therapy (PUVA) or oral medications may be needed.\n\nExpectations (prognosis)    -   Most lesions of granuloma annulare disappear with no treatment within two years. Sometimes, however, the rings can remain for many years. The appearance of new rings years later is not uncommon.

Cover the blemish with a dab of honey and place a Band-Aid over it. Honey kills the \nbacteria, keeps the skin sterile, and  speeds healing. \nWorks overnight.

There are no medical references to this treatment.\nUsualy the condition is treated with antibiotics, though there has been some success with herbal remedies.\nIf you are determined to avoid expert medical treatment I suggest you ask your doctor to refer you to a qualified medical herbal practitioner.

I recommend Cryosurgery as it worked for me!   \n\n"Treatments that may be prescribed by a medical professional include:\n\nImiquimod, a topical cream that helps the body's immune system fight the wart virus by encouraging interferon production \n\nCandida injections at the site of the wart, which also stimulate the body's immune system\n \nCryosurgery, which involves freezing the wart, after which the wart and surrounding dead skin falls off by itself. \n\nCryosurgery followed by surgically removing the infected spot. \n\nTreatment with chemical compounds, containing salicylic acid, blistering agents, immune system modifiers, or Formaldehyde \n\nLaser treatment \n\nNone of these treatments are very effective on single uses; the wart often returns after the skin has healed from the treatment, but repeated treatment should get rid of the wart permanently. As they disappear after a few months and maximally a few years, treatment is necessary only if the lesions are painful or are a cosmetic problem."

I don't know if there is a cure, but some things that might help would be to improve circulation. Use a pumice stone to exfoliate, massage legs, make a tea out of rosemary, fresh ginger, cayenne, ginko- mix about a 1/4 cup of any one or more with 3or 4 green or black tea bags to make a 1/2 gal. Do these all once or twice a day. \n\nOnly a suggestion- I am not a Dr.
