With adrenal disease we've seen an increase in blackheads. Often the
combo seems to be dry but with very thick and plugging skin oils, and
itchy. Unlike some others we have not gone through the skin sores
which is probably why I tend to forget those can happen. The poster
was asking how to handle itchy skin related to adrenal disease, if I
recall right. Moisturizing can help ease out the blackheads while
making the skin less cracked, itchy, and flakey by moisturizing. As
a resul,t it becoems a good approach in many cases for itchiness that
is caused by adrenal disease. Bag Balm is not somethign we have used
for it, personally.
