  Hi John, Mike here in the UK. 50+ too :-)
  Welcome to this forum.
  I too have had Vit for about 15 years, maybe longer. My erupted at a time of great stress in my life; first on my hands, then armpits, neck / face. I have been in remission for a while but more recently it has broken out around my eyes.
  I'm intrigued as to how this condition can be dormant and then become triggered.
  I too read Gemma's post on stomach acid. I have a tendency to over produce and take acid inhibitors so I'm not sure if this helps or hinders.
  I'm still inclined to think of this as a gene problem - perhaps influenced by environment / social factors?
  I'm glad to hear you remain positive - I don't always.
  Hope this acts as conduit to further correspondence?
  
  Best wishes
  
  Mike
