Hi,
I am fortunate that my rash is mild (nothing like Jonah's post on http://www.groinstrong.com
The whole time of the course I am prescribed Doxycycline (2x100mg). Recently I got Pyridoxine (vit B6) (3x50mg).
Every day I put on Diprobase all over the body (sometimes twice a day for the parts with rash).
The hydrocortisone 1% cream didn't have much effect on me. Now trying Clindamycin although such a small stick for that much surface is time consuming.
About 3 weeks ago I had a rash on my scalp and got Elocon. That stuff did wonders and cleared up the problem in a few days. It dries out the skin, so I had to put Diprobase on the days I was treating it with Elocon. Now that the problem is resolved, I now use Oilatum scalp shampoo and haven't had issues since.
After working in the garden, I had cracked skin on two fingers which had bled. Even though it was healing, the protocol seems to stipulate that I had to be taken off the drug for a week. It was also unfortunate that I had two mouth ulcers which I was successfully treating with Bonjela. It was unfortunate but they have to stick to the rules. I now cream up my hands with Neutrogena cream almost every time after I wash them, and twice a day I use Corsodyl mouth wash. The bottom of my feet and heels tend to get dry so I treat it with Scholl Cracked Heel Repair Cream if it starts to get worse, or otherwise with the regular Diprobase.
Just to complete the list, I also use the Oilatum shower gel on my face especially as it is easier to make sure my ears are all greased up.
