If it's on your mind and it has to do with multiple sclerosis in any way, post it here.

Acne and MS connected?

Post by Youarethecure »

Any connection between skin acne and MS?

I break out BADLY after every time I have a relapse. I thought this was (obviously) due to the steroid treatments but this last time I did not go on a steroid treatment. Although here I am again, very badly broken out. It is the worst on my back.

My skin is never super clear but it is insanely bad right now.

Is this just random or what? I have not done anything else different with my regimen.

Thanks,

Chris

absolutely - both zinc.

relapse is associated in the research with lowest uric acid levels, ua levels are also positively correlated with zinc status. i couldn't budge my serum ua for years trying diet alone, but once i figured out i had a zinc issue and took supplements, bang ua shot right up into the healthiest range it had seen in the whole history of my measuring it.

many report relapse associated with colds, and susceptibility to infection is also related to low zinc status.

all kinds of connections :)
