Recommendations from dermatologist friend:

- Dietary supplement of a probiotic.

- Tumeric, tumeric, tumeric: Capsulated supplement, tumeric tea, dietary additions, e.g. split pea soup w/ generous amount of tumeric.

- Pure organic apple cider vinegar (ACV with "the mother" visible): Use as a facial toner twice daily after facial cleansing; twice daily apply ACV w/ cotton ball to cystic lesions on chest, back, etc. & especially as soon as you see them arise. Morning, drink 1 Tablespoon ACV in 8 or more ozs. water or juice. (This may help also improve your GERD.)

- Raw natural honey: With cottontipped swab, apply to the lesions; the honey is antiseptic and antibacterial.

Hoping that you get some relief soon, andromeda.
