Skin Health

Skin health = mitochondrial health. When you have skin conditions, it means the mitochondria heteroplasmy rate is higher than normal. Targeted therapy should be redox rx. 

Mecfs also presents with skin rash. If you put steroids on that, you're making things worse.

Steroids are made in the mitochondria, if you're using topical, it will suppress mitochondrial production. Mess with the mitochondria and get higher ROS




Mitochondrial dysfunction: a neglected component of skin diseases

Mitochondria in skin health, aging, and disease

Eliminate aggravating factors eg nnemf. As fillagrin barrier is poor, sun exposure is limited to sunrise and sunset, avoid UVA ie half hour after sunrise. Copious use of red light photobiomodulation and accupuncture.

As with eczema, skin barrier function kaput. Fillagrin is key. You do not make it by using steroids rather safe sun exposure.
