I just started red light therapy for my GD. Only two sessions in and on a 4 week dose of prednisone (just started 2nd week) my skin is finally less inflamed and I’m not constantly scratching my skin raw. Not sure if it’s the addition of the red light or that my body is finally responding to the steroids, but red light therapy has shown to help in so many areas. This disease is so annoying and the itchiness was driving me to the point of insanity that I’m just throwing everything at it. My original dr seemed so laidback about treatment. I don’t know that she realizes that this constant itching can mess with someone’s mental health. Especially with someone that is going through stressful times in both work and home life. She didn’t want to give me this round of steroid treatment. I had to fight for it. She didn’t believe that stress was triggering my flare up. I know my body and how stress/anxiety can present itself in so many different ways. Anyway, I have an appointment with a new dermatologist. I’m going to continue red light therapy as I feel it’s helping. All you can do is try. Good luck!

I'm sorry for my ignorance but what is GD? I think it would be hard to tell if it was the steroids or light therapy helping. Steroids such as prednisone have a very potent anti inflammatory effect and, if misused, can be immunosuppressive.
