I have flakiness of the breast, scalp and ears. I have had significant hair loss. I’m being referred to see a rheumatologist to r/o my dibilitating condition. For many years I’ve received treatment from a GI. Specialist for IBS and he is a great doctor. However, lately my pain has now become intolerable and I need more concrete direction to what is happening to me. What has worked to stop the hair loss for you all? What have you tried or been prescribed that has been successful?
I have had it on my eye lids many times. It’s horrible. In the past I would put either coconut oil or olive oil on it to keep it moist. Also, it would help break up the yucky crusty skin. But now I make cannabis infused coconut oil, which is more medicinal. I don’t add essential oil, so there isn’t anything that will irritate the eye. I have also been taking cannabis CBD/THC oil internally for a year with great results.
I get psoriasis on my eyelids at times too, @kvquevedo. It’s such a difficult place to treat. So glad to hear that you are seeing good results with the cannabis oils! – Catherine, Community Moderator
I too have flaky skin around my eyes. It made me feeI and look as if I was sick! My eyes would fluctuate as to which one would be red in color as if I had pink eye. I’m glad to know that I’m not alone in this journey. #misdiagnosed
