Potion Of Cure Disease
Potions of cure disease do exactly as their name describes. Simply drinking the potion will cure all diseases that are ailing the Dragonborn. They can be bought at mosttraders and alchemy stores.Players can find some for sale at the Riverwood Trader across from Alvor and Sigrid’s house. These potions can be expensive, so it may be easier for players to make them using alchemy.
Charred Skeever Hide, Felsaad Tern Feathers, Hawk Feathers, Mudcrab Chitlin, and Vampire Dust are all ingredients with the Cure Disease effect. Combine them with each other to make the potions. Hawk Feathers have Cure Disease as their first effect which means they can be eaten to remove diseases without evenmixing them into a potion.
Temple Shrines
Praying at temple shrines will immediately cure all diseases. The first shrine that players will most likely gain access to is found inside the Temple of Kynareth. This temple is located in Whiterun by the large Gildergreen tree and just before the Dragonsreach steps.
Activating the shrine will remove all diseases and current blessings replacing them with the blessing of Kynareth. Check every large city for its temple as they will all have unique blessings and cure diseases completely free of charge.
Contract Vampirism Or Lycanthropy
The final and most drastic way to cure diseases is by becoming a vampire or werewolf.Players can become a werewolfby following the Companions Guild quest line to completion. Sanguinare Vampiris can be contracted from getting attacked by a vampire enemy.
If this disease is left untreated for three days theDragonborn will become a vampire.Fans can also become a Vampire Lord by siding with Lord Harkon during the Dawnguard questline. While both of these options are inconvenient when starting a new playthrough they will permanently cure all diseases. The Dragonborn will be immune to every disease as long as they are a werewolf/vampire.
