Like many others, I use VCO and it helps. I got some skin infections during and right after treatment and my doctor prescribed silver sulfadiazine cream. It helped with the itching as well as the infections. I think that there are people who don't tolerate it well, but I loved it. I also took hydroxine, and that seemed to help.

I know it hurts and that its not...
Treatment stopped - options?

This is all so difficult. I am with everyone here in being so hopeful that you already have SVR.
