Question/Comment:

I use this cream to help heal sores on the skin caused by Discoid Lupus. I had large sores on my face that took months to heal so my face was covered with sores all the time and I was told it was acne by a family member when I was 10yrs old and I would grow out of it. I accepted this diagnosis until I got a new GP and she sent me to the skin clinic. I rarely have sores now and when they do appear, it only takes a couple of weeks for them to heal completely and the redness calms down after a day or two-miraculous!.
