Jag var inne och läste på denna tråd för några veckor sedan för att försöka hitta lite råd och tips om hur man kan bota och inte endast lindra Seborroiskt eksem och jag har dragits med detta sedan 97-98, så ganska lång tid med andra ord och jag har nu "snubblat" över något som överraskade mig.
Jag kan informera att jag använde kortison i flera år, fram till 2006 då jag läste en artikel publicerad av en läkare från Karolinska som rekommenderade Dactacort så jag började använda denna i ansiktet och det fungerade, vilken lycka. Jag blev av med utslagen, det svidande och irriterande som jag hade, speciellt på överläppen, sidorna av näsan och ögonbrynen och blev naturligtvis glad. Ni som har denna typ av eksem vet att det är som första grads förbränning och ett helvete.
Så jag har nu alltså använt Dactacort och Selsun för håret - ganska vanliga produkter med andra ord.
Men nu till det som jag vill bidra med.
Jag pratade med en god vän i Bangladesh som jobbar med alternativ medicin och berättade om mitt problem med seborroiskt eksem och han svarade med att rekommendera
1 matsked Äpple Cider Vinäger (ACV) i ett glas vatten (alltså utspädd) 1 gång om dagen i 2-3 veckor. och lite desperat som jag är för att bli av med eksemen och slippa kortison så börjar jag denna kur för 4 dagar sedan, alltså torsdag morgon. Det är nu 6 dagar sedan jag använde Dactacort och det är ny rekord mellan omgångarna då jag som oftast använder den sammanhängande i 3-4 dagar för att ta en paus 3-4 dagar. Med tanke på hur länge jag har haft denna eksem så känner jag varenda förändring som sker i ansiktet och när symptomen kommer tillbaka.
Jag tog även lite utspädd ACV och baddade på de områden som det handlar om och utan tvekan, det har börjat ge resultat. Svedan, klådan, utslagen och nippringen / stickandet har avtagit avsevärt. Jag är medveten om att 4 dagar med en kur inte är lång tid, men med tanke på det snabba resultatet så kan jag inte undvika att ha förhoppningar till att det faktiskt fungerar, jag både ser och känner resultat.
Jag vill även bestyrka mitt inlägg genom att plocka in info från två sidor jag hittade på nätet. Jag har läste på andra forum och sidor som säger ungefär samma sak.
Seven Health Uses of Apple Cider Vinegar
http://wellnessmama.com/2042/seven-h...cider-vinegar/
Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) is a fermented product made from crushed and aged apples. The healthiest versions contain “the mother” which is a colony of beneficial bacteria with many health benefits. ACV is naturally high in phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, calcium and others. It has been rumored to help with weight loss and digestive uses. It was even used in the time of Hippocrates, the father of medicine, as a remedy for many ailments. If you are going to use ACV for a health remedy, look for organic, unpasteurized vinegars with “the Mother,” which are available at most grocery stores. Bragg’s is one popular brand.
ACV has been used as a natural remedy for many things, and while science is yet to prove many of the health claims associated with ACV, it is generally considered harmless to try. If you suffer from any of the health concerns below, consider trying ACV as an inexpensive natural remedy.
-1-
Reduce Acid Reflux and Heartburn
ACV mimics the acidic environment of the stomach and helps food to break down. Many people report reduced symptoms of reflux or heartburn after using Apple Cider Vinegar, which is logical, since many times these conditions are caused by too little stomach acid, rather than too much. If you suffer from Reflux or Heartburn, consider taking 1 tsp- 1 TBSP of ACV in water before each meal, and whenever symptoms hit.
-2-
Fight Candida (yeast) in the Body
If you suffer from yeast overgrowth in the body, and many people do, ACV might help. Some research shows that the acid and enzymes in Apple Cider Vinegar help kill excess yeast in the body. For those with severe yeast problems, the symptoms may get worse initially when they begin taking ACV. This is caused by the die off of the yeast, called a Herxheimer reaction, when the body can’t remove the toxins from the yeast fast enough. It is actually a good sign, though an uncomfortable one. If you suspect you have yeast overgrowth, consider taking 1 tsp- 1 TBSP of ACV in water before each meal or twice a day, preferably on an empty stomach.
-3-
Relieve Sunburns and Bug Bites
I can vouch for this one personally! If you suffer from a sunburn or insect bite, Apple Cider Vinegar can help alleviate the pain. For sunburns, apply ACV and water (50/50 mix) with a cotton cloth or washcloth directly to the skin to cool and relieve pain. You can also soak in a bath of warm water with 1 cup ACV. For bug bites, apply ACV directly to the bite, or soak the area in vinegar.
-4-
Lower Blood Pressure
Some studies suggest that the acetic acid in Apple Cider Vinegar may help power blood pressure. ACV may help increase production of the blood vessel relaxing compound nitric oxide. It may also help inhibit enzymes that cause blood vessels to constrict. For blood pressure lowering effects, 2-6 TBSP a day in water is usually recommended.
-5-
Kill Foot or Skin Fungus
Just as ACV can help kill Candida in the body, it is often useful against yeast and fungus on the skin and nails. If you have foot or toe fungus, soak the feet in 1 cup of ACV in water or apply directly to the affected area. For skin fungus or yeast, apply ACV directly. It will burn but will help clear up even the worst cases of fungus.Especially in children or those with sensitive skin, it is best to dilute the ACV with water before applying to the skin.
-6-
Natural Skin Toner
When mixed with equal parts of water (and a few drops of essential oil for fragrance) ACV makes an excellent firming toner for the skin. It has also been shown to be effective against acne without drying the skin. To use as a toner, keep the mixture in the fridge, and apply with a cotton ball after showering. The vinegar smell disappears completely when dry.
-7-
Treat Dandruff
Apple Cider Vinegar can be very effective against dandruff. Mix with equal parts water and apply to scalp with spray bottle or cloth. Leave on for 1-2 hours with a shower cap and rinse. This can be done 1-2 times a week for best results.
Notes: Apple Cider Vinegar should not be swallowed undiluted or applied to the skin undiluted, especially in children or those with sensitive skin. Be careful not to get ACV in the eyes.
OBS Plain white vinegar and other types of vinegar should not be used for these purposes.

APPLE CIDER VINEGAR FOR FUNGUS
http://www.livestrong.com/article/50...ar-for-fungus/
Fungus can develop in a variety of forms on the body. Typically, an antifungal medication in the form of a pill or cream is used on-site to treat and eliminate the fungus. However, some people believe apple cider vinegar to be a worthy substitute for traditional fungal treatment, and some medical evidence backs up this claim. If you suffer from severe symptoms, however, such as redness, inflammation and swelling, see a doctor right away.
SKIN FUNGUS
Fungus can appear just about anywhere on the skin. Two common types are malassezia and tinea. Malassezia is found on healthy scalps but can become overgrown and lead to dandruff, itching and oily skin, reports MayoClinic.com. Tinea is also known as ringworm and can affect various areas including the body, the feet and the scalp. Itching and irritated patches of skin are the most common symptoms.
FUNCTION
Apple cider vinegar can be an effective fungus treatment on the skin. According to "Dr. Earl Mindell's Amazing Apple Cider Vinegar," by Earl Mindell, vinegar kills bacteria and fungus, especially when applied to the affected area repeatedly. This is also effective for skin conditions like seborrheic dermatitis, which affects the scalp and is sometimes caused by a fungus.
VINEGAR AS TREATMENT
You need to prepare apple cider vinegar in a specific way to treat fungus. According to "The Herbal Drugstore: The Best Natural Alternatives to Over-the-Counter and Prescription Medicines," by Dr. Linda B. White and Steven Foster, mixing 1/8 of a cup of vinegar with one cup of water will dilute it enough to be effective in treating the fungus without irritating your skin. Apply to the affected area twice a day with a cotton ball.
EFFECTS
In general, apple cider vinegar is harmless when applied in diluted form to the skin. Even so, it can burn your eyes, so keep it away from this area and apply it in a well-ventilated space, as the fumes can be quite strong. If the fungus hasn't cleared up within a few weeks or gets worse, see a doctor for a stronger course of treatment.
