How To Treat Darier's Disease?
I have severe Darier's and cannot use Accutane or Soriatane due to severe side effects. I am looking for a more holistic or natural approach to treatment. I already use topical clobetasol and take an antibiotic 3 times a week to try to control secondary infection - any ideas?

1. Darier disease or keratosis follicularis is a rare inherited [genetic disorder] skin condition characterized by wart-like blemishes on the body.
2. Sun, heat, and sweating exacerbate the disease, thus to be avoided as much as possible.
3. complication like herpes simplex (cold sore) virus, and/or secondary bacterial infections, can occur along with keratosis follicularis symptoms, and should be treated promptly with antibiotics. [reason for taking antibiotics]
4. Since cause is genetic thus Rasyan Chikitsa [Immunomodulation] drugs like Amalaki,Madhuka,shatavari, Guduchi, Ashwagandha, Piper longum,can be taken which helps in increasing the resistance of the body.
