I was diagnosed with SD back in August 2013, it was only on my face, neck up, I was puffy, extremely itchy, my eyes, lips, face, I freaked.  My hairline, lips, eyelids where chapped and peeling.  I went to one of the top Dermatologists in L.A., that I have seen for over 25 years, and he started me with a shot of Kenalog 40 mg. a cortisteroid, and gradually decreased the dosage down to 10 mg. over months, when my symtoms still did not go away completely, but way better, he gave me a repeat load in February 40/30/10 mgs over months.  April 2014 was my last, and here I am in May and I still have symptoms but not where I was back in August.  Most symtops gone, my eyes are not puffy, slight swelling on top lip, but my normally beautiful smoothe skin is dry, tight and bumpy in areas.  I have the bumps behind the ears slightly.  I am going to try 30 percent hydropilic aloe, flax seed, fish oil, and other natural ways of healing.  I stopped the Kenalog because of concerns of prolong use.  I am quite thankful for Kenalog, it helped me big time.  Note that I am a health freak, work out weekly with weights and cardio, drink socially once or twice a week and do not exceed three drinks per sitting.  It sucks!  I am 80 healed, just need 20 percent more to go.  I will keep you posted!
