Been following along for about 6 months from when my first outbreak happened and I was diagnosed. I have tried most of what has been shared. I have been lucky and don't have much of the itch. Just the dots/rash. I have noticed that when I am consistent with cilantro smoothies, drinking lots of water and most recently think that when I drink more alcohol frequently I get more flare ups. I may try to cut alcohol all together for 30-60 days to see if I notice anything. Has anyone experienced or noticed a correlation between alcohol consumption and flare ups?
