When I was a child, people used to comment on my skin, because it was flawless. None of the children in my family had skin problems. People in the 1930s, 40s and 50s did not know how blessed they were not to have money. There weren't drugstores on every corner selling products. We had no money for products and not even money for much food. it was a blessing, because my parents knew nothing about nutrition. We were skinny, but we were five healthy children.. It is amazing, four of us are still here. The only one who is gone...took the vax!
So how to do it differently? Most, and I mean from my experience, - 99% of dermatologists are a waste of money except for skin checks for cancer which a friend could do. As soon as you introduce gut or hormones or immune system- they say not my area.
I have been to many dermatologists in the past. They are ignorant mindless bots, very dangerous. I developed a small melanoma lesion and the dermatologist at the time urged me to use chemical sunscreen every day forever. That was her only suggestion. I showed her info on sun avoidance INCREASING melanoma risk, and she was too stupid and too afraid to engage with this.
one more comment about dermatologists. .right.. I went to see one years ago. about that small sebaceous cyst it was on my chest area.. and he said "Oh you don't surgery.. and showed me a HUGE Cyst on the side of his face.. I MEAN IT WAS the size of nickel and big.. about then is when I heard about Dr Pimple Popper.. (ROFL) who actually told me more than I wanted to know .. about Cysts. versus. .pimples.. I am grateful that I have had good skin.. :)
And then they prescribe you red or pink pills - the dye in the pills causes you to get an allergic reaction! I agree with LoIs - just like pediatricians, dermatologists are useless eaters. Teach house doctors properly again, have them go to the house again, let them look how families live and eat, and most illnesses will be healed instead of eternally treated.
PS thanks to your articles my dog who had a severe skin problem is almost healed up. The vet gave anti-itch meds and we gave her Echinacea, Collustrum and several other herbs and supplements. Her fur, just as the book says, after 2 1/2 months is shiny again and I brush her every morning, with only the normal hair loss! To think that 3 months ago she had bare spots the size of an egg. THank you thank you thank you!
Another brilliant in depth article from Unbekoming. I have some sun damage on my forehead. Had it years. Caused by playing football in very sunny conditions. Just very small patches of dry skin. They can go red and become a bit unsightly. The doctor gave me a cream which basically burns them off slowly for new skin to grow. Should I try it? I’m 63 and on no meds. Or see if it resolves naturally.
I ordered Jewelweed salve for my dog and that seems to have done very well. If you use the doc's prescription make sure you know what the ingredients do. Since I worked in a lab that made basics for beauty products I always carry a magnifying glass to read ingredients of shampoos. That is about the only chemical I still use.
Good discussion. Light therapy was used prior to antibiotics to treat skin conditions. Totally ignored today. Correct? Vietnam veterans who were injected with experimental vaccines and subject to toxic chemicals in Vietnam including agent orange struggle to this day with skin eruptions.
As all "vaccines" are exclusively toxins, I wonder what those experiments were all about. Well, probably "only" parts of the long-term sickening project, but who knows what else?
I get that and will continue to wear the sunblock, it’s that there’s that paradox I’m curious about of getting sun exposure but I wouldn’t stay outside for a long time without applying sunblock.
Thanks for yet another helpful, insightful, terrain-inspired essay!
Fellow readers, try this:
If you have a skin eruption, whether bumps, itchy patches, rashes or the like, which you may or may not have been told previously were due to a virus or bacterial infection, pack it with bentonite clay. It has wonderful drawing power and you might be surprised at the good results.
Get a bag of Redmond bentonite clay and mix some with a little water in a glass jar. Don’t let anything metal touch it, such as utensils or a metal jar lid, since this will ruin the beneficial electrical charge it carries. Use plastic, wooden or bamboo spoons and a plastic lid. Make it thick like a heavy paste. Wash and dry the area with gentle soap and warm water first, and then apply the clay directly on it. The thicker it is, the more drawing power. Leave on for 30 min – 2 hours, then remove carefully and discard. Water mist/spray helps to loosen it for removal and paper towels can be used to wipe away.
If you want to learn more about this Earth-derived remedy that’s been used for eons, check out the We Eat Clay booklet. I don’t have any affiliation — I just like to share helpful information.
Blood pressure tablets, side-effects listed are itching, rash and hives another case of one medication causing another "disease" that needs more medical intervention.
Ok the timing on this is crazy so I have to post it. I just read this article this morning before work, I’m a medical massage therapist in a chiro office.
My 2nd client comes in, I start working on her and notice that her back looks irritated, but that can happen. Marks from scratching, bra strap, etc. As I went on it got worse, blotchy all over and looks like a systemic allergic reaction. Note that I’ve massaged this woman for at least 7 years, this has never happened, and we’ve always used the same lotion.
So I told her that her back looked irritated today and asked her how it felt. She said everything has been bothering her skin lately, clothing tags, bra straps, etc. It’s been going on for a year or so but it’s intermittent.
I asked her if she’d tracked her food, maybe something she was eating was causing it, she said she’s done that. Eventually we talk about her meds. She’s 65 and on blood pressure meds, Accutane (?!), and tirzepatide, and has been using steroid cream ‘and it feels better right away’ when she uses it.
I gently suggested that the medications might be too much for her system, since it was a systemic reaction but she told me how she’s been tested for food allergies, autoimmune, etc and everything came back negative.
Anyway, I ended the massage after 15 minutes and suggested that she see a doctor. But how weird is that when I JUST read this article? Thank you for the perfect timing.
Another epidemic skin problem is hive-like clusters on the skin in response to foods, temperature extremes, stress, orthostatic intolerance, showers, and more. It's labeled Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, which could be another jab-induced hyper-sensitivity syndrome.
I had a case of a young boy with tummy pains. During treatment he would develop boils on his skin which is the perfect indication of Hering's Law of Cure. However, every time the boy's father would insist on taking him to the doctor - antibiotics would be given, the skin cleared, tummy pains came back. I couldn't convince them otherwise and they dropped out of treatment.
I write more about the relationship of skin symptoms to deeper organ issues in my articles "Suppression of Disease" and "Philosophy of Cure".
YES YOUR SKIN considered the largest organ of your body.... I realized that about 15 years ago after some articles came out about it. I have always been very genetically lucky having decent skin. The only thing I will say: IS IT SUPER HARD TO GET A DERMATOLOGIST appt.. I tried years ago for a small cyst. I mean the size of pinhead.. and later an accupressurist told me just squeeze it out gently. it was gone. ABOUT ACETONE in fingernail polish and removers. yes it is toxic but on the other hand.. it kills nail fungus.. for sure. .I have had some problems off and on because both wore gloves in a Lab. and also .. at home.. doing work.. long before pandemic.. the rule of thumb as you know is change gloves between patients and every time you do a new procedure. BUT I LIKE ACETONE and used it for years.. I know those nail salons.. but oh well.. humans are not fragile.. we are a hardy species. :)

As usual, the modern stone age medical mafia is 100% backwards. That means you must go in the opposite direction and forget about the fools.

I found https://www.calciumtherapy.com/ and use their calcium skin "lotion"...also the tallow cream that I make with calcium carbinate added...
I ordered Jewelweed salve for my dog and that seems to have done very well. If you use the doc's prescription make sure you know what the ingredients do. Since I worked in a lab that made basics for beauty products I always carry a magnifying glass to read ingredients of shampoos. That is about the only chemical I still use.
Many thanks. It is so obvious really.
Tell it to a sixty year old.

Honest question: what about mineral sunblock to prevent burning? I don’t consume seed oils but I burn in intense UV light without sunblock.
Use your common sense.
I get that and will continue to wear the sunblock, it’s that there’s that paradox I’m curious about of getting sun exposure but I wouldn’t stay outside for a long time without applying sunblock.
For that matter, dermatologists are the laughing stocks among "doctors."
"Treating" the symptoms is pretty universal in "Madicine." (sic!) Diagnostics is a disaster:

Dermatology is a result of mil-tech-level compartmentalization, in which the human body is cut up into parts like a cow in a butcher's shop:

Love it when synchronicity happens like this. It happens to me a lot.
You might suggest the bentonite clay remedy in my other comment here. For a large rash, it can be applied thinly.
Interesting. I have two autoimmune diseases that separately attack my skin - vitiligo and dermatomyositis. Any comment on the autoimmune aspect?
