[QUOTE="Jenb85, post: 897991, member: 195099"] Hi, my name is Jenn and I was reading everyone's story on here about NLD. I suffer from it and I'm not diabetic, my grandmother has it as well and she is not diabetic either. It started on my right foot and it looked like a mosquito bite (2009) and now almost the whole top of my foot is covered, it has protruded around my ankle and up my shin. I now have it on my other shin and foot. I just found out what it was this year and the dermatologist that I'm seeing looked at it,looked up at me and says are you diabetic, I said no I'm not, she said does it run in your family, I said no, diabetes don't run in my family. The dermatologist is having me use steroid cream and it doesn't seem to be helping. I really wanted to know what could help it, it is very embarrassing and everyone stares at it. I'm very fair complected and I don't tan well. Even though I really don't care what people say or think about it, it's just really for me myself, it bothers me to look at it. I've used one cream for 3 months and no difference now I'm on to a stronger steroid cream for about a month and not seeing a difference yet. I do know it's very sensitive, sometimes I experience an itch and I'll reach down (not thinking) And scratch it and I'm like uugghh. If anyone could give me some insight about it, I would greatly appreciate it.... Thank you. [/QUOTE]
