Congratulations on finding something that works for you. So little is known about this miserable disease that we are left on our own, essentially, to find our own ways of dealing with it. A friend of mine saw a derm who recommended Zostrix for something unrelated to GD. Its a pain reliever with Capsaicin in it. I figured why not give it a try? Lo and behold it actually stops the itching for hours and my rash is disappearing little by little. You just never know.
