I have been diagnosed with Schamberg's Disease (which began over a year ago, and have been taking vitamin C for the last 2 months and wearing support hose, with no improvement. My dermatologist has recommended PUVA treatments. Is there any evidence that it may improve my condition?
I was diagnosed with Schamberg's disease over 3 years ago. The lesions started on my lower legs and at it's worst spread up my body, including stomach, thighs and arms. New lesions were accompanied with burning and pain. I was prescribed steroid cream, which never worked to reduce or prevent the lesions. Eventually I turned to homeopathic remedies. I have been taking horse chestnut seed extract daily (available from most health food stores including GNC), which is recommended for circulation
. The lesions stopped occurring quickly and return when I stop taking the horse chestnut, though I occasionally still get one on my legs. I hope this can help others with this disease.
