Hi all!
Fran-you asked about topicals for DH- I have DH as well as atopic
dermatits. Topicals thtr have helped me include any Hydrocortisone cream,
eucerin cream or its (much cheper) CVS alternative, cool compresses and
oatmeal soaks. I have also taken benadryl (generic diphenhydramine)
available otc in 25 mg. capsules, but beware-some have wheat-derived starch
in the pill coatings! :-( learned that one the hard way! I don't know about
dapsone-read up on the side effects and need for aggressive monitoring and
it made me nervous. I'll be interested to see what anyone else said...good
luck-Marne
