But Mayo has some problems also. The most glaring is Lyme Disease but he mentioned that they lagged in digestive cancer screening and prevention and he knew that because his father was a gastroenterologist/surgeon at Mayo and came home swearing that people who had gone through Mayo's checkup were coming back with too much cancer because they were not allowed to do enough screening during their head to toe exams.

My sister and I both suffer from psoriatic-arthritis, and for years they prescribed her the topical steriods to control the skin lesions...
she has permanent discoloration and the skin is strangely translucent-thin, and will never heal and look like 'normal' skin...even if the lesions are healed, the skin is damaged.

i personally avoided all that and went the herbal and natural route, hemp works great as does coconut oil and even olive oil in a pinch. I take the hardcore internal drugs for my arthritis and to keep the disease at bay, but it's weird how different our skin looks...

with no side effects, so that is all we use now.
It stops fire ant bites dead, they don't itch and will not grow into the pustules they commonly grow into, no scarring either.( anyone who knows fire ants knows what I am talking about)
turns out the mentholatum is a drying agent, works great on mosquito bites, weird unidentified bug bites, and poison ivy.
Just put some on the area, add more when you can feel the bite/sting/rash starting to itch again,
and by day 2 or 3, all gone.

permanent thinning of skin, which could be a real problem at an older age or if you develop a disease like diabetes which impedes healing.
