An all-natural DSAP treatment may helps eliminate lesions

An alternative treatment for those with the rare skin condition Dissiminated Superficial Actinic  Porokortosis  (DSAP) is an all natural ointment called Perrins Blend.

While this certainly isn’t a cure, some people report positive results in using Perrins as a DSAP treatment and removing DSAP lesions.  While there are probably more efficient methods in managing your DSAP spots (like the taz/eff protocol) the benefit of the Perrins Blend DSAP treatment is that 1) it is all natural and 2) anyone can buy it without a prescription.

People that might benefit from Perrins are:

  • Pregnant and breastfeeding women
  • Those who don’t want to use pharmaceutical ingredients
  • People who can’t get other drugs due to unavailability
  • Those without medical insurance
  • People with just a few spots to treat

It probably isn’t effective for:

  • People with many DSAP spots to treat
  • Those who don’t have time or patience to spot treat one by one.
  • People who don’t want to deal with the resulting mess
  • People without any tolerance for pain

Of all of the DSAP treatments we have discussed on DSAPInstitute.org this is the one that has received the most ‘mixed results.  But before we get into results, here’s the protocol on how to use it.

This is from the manufacturers website: Perrin’s Blend™ is a thick, sticky, burgundy colored ointment used to correct specific spots of abnormal skin growth.  It’s a simple all natural ointment containing 5 ingredients in a base of honey and grape seed oil. (ingredients and definitions at the end)

Here’s what you do with this thick ointment.

  1. Dab it on the specific spot (s) you want to treat.  If you have numerous spots you won’t be able to rub this all over an entire area. It’s too thick and messy as it’s honey-based.
  2. Cover it with a bandage/plaster, preferably one that’s waterproof and big enough so that the ointment doesn’t ooze out.
  3. According to the manufacturer, “We have seen the best results when the place being treated is in constant contact with Perrin’s Blend, 24 hours a day.  That usually means covering the area with a bandage to prevent the ointment from being rubbed off.
  4. Keep the bandage/plaster on when you are bathing to prevent a deep cleaning of the area, resulting in all the ointment being washed off.
  5.  It is recommended to change the bandage after bathing and apply a new application of Perrin’s Blend, and not have a wet bandage on your skin.
  6. Some people have an adverse reaction to the bandage/plaster as they are perhaps allergic to the material.  If you have an allergy to plasters/bandaids, this probably is NOT the DSAP treatment for you since you have to wear a bandage for so long.

Perrins Blend & Creme Complete

There are two products you may consider 1) the Perrins Blend 2) Perrins Creme Complete. The difference is that Perrins Blend is much stronger. But the cream is more manageable as it’s not honey based. You can rub it in like a normal cream without having to cover with a bandage.  Based on the reports below, the Perrins Creme is not effective.

What people are saying about Perrins

“Perrins worked, but was messy and somewhat painful. I got rid of two spots and can’t even tell you where they were.”

“Use it in the winter so you can cover up the bandages with longsleeves/pants”

“Perrins does get somewhat painful, and it must be kept covered as to not let any air get to it.  It took three weeks to heal but my spots completely disappeared.  I’ve only tried it on about six so far.”

“Perrins irritated my skin and it looked like I’d been stung by nettles but there really was no pain and now and again only just mild itching, The other thing is Perrins are totally natural, chemical-free products which has to be a plus.”

“The Perrins Blend definitely removed a few spots, but it took three weeks for the redness and the raised area to fade away. When it did though I was left with faint marks where the spots were and the last one I treated is almost gone”

“The only issue I have with Perrins is that it is extremely messy – the red stuff can leak out and causes staining on bedding. But in my case Perrins does NOT cause any negative reaction. So because of the mess I’ve not tried a large area and am doing it spot by spot”

“The positives have outweighed those tiny issues, like the mess and irritation. And I know I’m not slapping more chemicals onto already, stressed-out skin – at least the Perrins is all natural.”

“I tried them both [the Perrins Blend and the Cream]. With the Perrins Blend, the lesion I tried it on fell off but unfortunately it grew back again. I should have kept the Perrins Blend on longer but it got so painful I couldn’t bear it. It took 4 weeks to fall off and the skin around it was so irritable and blistered I had to stop.”

“I have had some success with the Perrins Blend but didn’t find any difference with my spots when I used the cream. Just be careful with the Blendas it can leak out from what you cover it with and it can stain clothing and bedding.”

“I tried the Cream Complete on one forearm (twice a day). Nothing happened for 4 weeks and then the whole arm erupted like an allergy (swollen and red) and took a week to settle down with no difference to the DSAP.”

“My advice is to avoid the Perrins Blend, it’s too strong! I have pink marks that might take awhile to fade. My Cream Complete arm looks great! “

“I found it too sticky and uncomfortable as it stained so much, and it didn’t work for me.”

“I applied Perrins Blend religiously twice a day for about 9 or 10 days. I noticed the edges becoming a bit smoother on a few of them (I was treating about 7 lesions) but the surrounding skin started to react badly to the plaster, so I had to stop. Took WEEKS for that skin to get back to normal.”

“I put the Perrin’s Blend burgundy ointment over a small number of the more obvious lesions and the Creme Complete everywhere else.  The PB has definitely helped – after around 1.5 wks, the lesions to which it was applied are now completely smooth and are a little paler in colour.  It is however messy to use as you say, and I have stained clothes & bed sheets as a result of the PB leaking around bandages despite thinking I had the ointment well covered.  But I will continue to use it….just with greater care!….since it seems to be working.”

  1. I’ve done 7 full days on several spots with Perrins Blend. No pain as others mentioned. The scabby layers on the worst spots are gone with only reddeness left behind and soft skin. I’m continuing treatment. Then I received the Perrins Cream Complete and am using it on the rest of my arms and legs which are completely peppered with lesions. I’m only on my 3rd day. My arms and legs are completely red and sore in appearance currently so I’ve got nothing to lose by trying an all out attack with both products.
    I do not find the Perrins blend that messy. I guess because I was forewarned with all these testimonies and took care to limit that. I’m actually excited because I do see progress.!

    Thanks to all for your input.

  2. I’ve had great success with Perrins blend in a large spot (about the size of a quarter) on my left hand. It took s full 6 weeks. First it looked much worse. I was tempted to quit, but am so happy I persevered. That spot is gone. I’m smooth there now and each day the skin appears more and more normal. I am using the Cream Complete now by day and the Perrins blend at night. My left arm is showing results as well. I used Perrin’s Blend on some large dark scabby areas. They too have nearly gone away after about 5 weeks. The remainder of my arm I applied Cream Complete. That too caused inflammation and swelling and finally I am left with smooth skin. I still have the red spots there but no scaley ridges. I am continuing to use the Cream Complete because I believe in time I will see improvement. I am peppered arms and legs. I wish I could use a large bandage each day for my legs/arms, it would certainly be a more efficient approach. Still I am continuing on. I have begun an all out assault on my legs as well. I’m hoping in another 6 weeks to have good news. It’s difficult but worth it. I’ve never had any other product show any results at all. Perrins Products are an answer to my prayers.
