Guest guest Posted September 3, 2003 Report Share Posted September 3, 2003 As I stated in a previous posting, Lichen Palnus is a possible answer to your skin problem. I came down with a terrible case of this about 6 years ago, before I knew I had the Hep C virus. I believed it was from handling certain chemicals at work. My hands and feet were raw, swollen, and very itchy. I finally found a dermatologist that immediately knew what it was. It took months of treatments, but it finally cleared up. After I became aware of my liver condition, I was surfing the net for relative information. I was shocked to one day see Lichen Planus mentioned as a possible link to Hep C. The cause is not known, but I now feel that the 2 were indeed related. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 3, 2003 Report Share Posted September 3, 2003 this is true--I have lichen sclerosis, which in my case causes lesions in the vagina--OUCH!--does it ever itch and burn when I get a flare-up! But you can get these lesions anywhere on the body......I hear the two diagnoses are similar--I thought I had the "planus" variety, since it is associated with hep c, but two docs tell me it's lichen sclerosis.....either way, I believe they are both auto-immune conditions--skin attacking skin---Dr. Zhang has a product called AI#3 which works well to heal the condition....hope this helps.....blessings, satya Re: [ ] skin lesions It could be lichen planus, which some feel may be related to liver ailments.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2003 Report Share Posted September 3, 2003 As I say, Dr. Zhang calls these auto-immune conditions---you can take standard treatment (usually steroidal cremes), but in my opinion, it only drives the condition further into the body, only to resurface again (even worse) in the future....I prefer to use Dr. Zhang's treatment, which modulates the immune system so the body no longer attacks itself-- it WORKS beautifully!. I get an attack of the condition only after a period of extreme stress--this causes the immune system to go "crazy" and then the body attacks itself. If you keep the immune system modulated, the flare-up won't occur, and if it does, 10 days or so on Dr. Zhang's treatment (AI#3) clears it right up.......just MHO......blessings, Satya-----ps. I believe that other products might work also, like some products of Jay's, possibly Wobenzyme or something....this would be a question for Jay.......

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 Hi Dr. : Looks like a version erythema from a fungal immune reaction following use of steroidal meds for some sort of eye irritation. Possibly has a recent history of eye irritation with a short course of treatment which opened the door to a low grade fungal infection and what you are seeing is actually the immune systems reaction to the fungal agent that originated in the moist environment at the lateral canthae. Another possible is early form of erysipelas. Both are treatable within Oregon’s chiropractic scope. Of course, a bit of history could easily rule this out. Could you fill us in with a few details? Willard Bertrand, D.C. Skin lesions Hi All I have some attached photos of my son's skin sent from Santa Fe MN. Any ideas what it is and how to help? First thought is a topical staph but that's a guess. Thanks for looking. Colwell, DC OregonDCs rules: 1.

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2005 Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 I've had drug induced lupus from a diuretic drug used for high blood pressure (we think that was the culprit). I first had sun sensitivity, molar rash on nose and cheeks before I broke out in three different rashes over face neck and trunk. The rashes, except for the molar rash, cleared up after two weeks with pred shots. The sun sensitivity, fatigue and molar rash lasted over a year. Sometimes it is very hard to know which drug causes problems as so many have rashes as side effects. I hope it is just an allergy and not drug induce lupus.

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2005 Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 I seem to be developing tiny bump like lesions, especially on the dorsal aspect (back of) of my left hand. They almost look like little warts but they are not. Of course given the history I have of getting my hands into some liquids that were found out to be very toxic it could be from anything. So I just go along and treat it using Betnovate. I also have Psoriatic Arthritis which accounts for other problems on my hands and feet. +Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 Christene, A Managed Care doc can remove your implants properly . .. . if you can convince him/her of the necessity. The problems appears to be that most doctors chose to follow the AMA line of thought, rather than to see what's before them and think for themselves. Do everything you can to educate the doctor you choose! Be sure you feel good about the doctor. Removing them is not rocket science, it's common sense!

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Are you talking about what looks like blood blisters? My mom has been on Gleevec for about a year now and if her dog scratches her she gets what looks like a long blood blister but she's says it's old age. She's 50. Please let me know because I'd love to know if it's caused by the meds. thanks bobandsue1968 <no_reply > wrote: My name is sue. I am a silent observer of this site. I have been on Gleevec since Sept 04. The information is upbuilding and valuable. I am doing very well and I try to enjoy every day of my life and not to dwell on the diagnosis too much. Just wondering, does anyone have small red skin lesions called keratoses as a side effect. I have started to develop these lately.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Hi Stacey, I get occasional blood blisters on my feet after walking for a long time (more than 3 miles). Basically, they look like any other regular blisters that you would get from a shoe rubbing on your foot except instead of being filled with water, it's filled with blood. Eventually it dries up just like a regular blister and it goes away without any problems. While I can't say for sure that Gleevec is the cause, I never had anything like it before I took Gleevec and I'm only 37 so I don't think it's age. Of course if I didn't over do it on the walking, I wouldn't get any type of blister to begin with, so if I should blame anything, I'd say it's the walking more than the Gleevec Take care, Tracey My name is sue.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Hi Sue, Welcome to the group but sorry you had to find us. I personally haven't had any problems with keratoses. I do have a friend who has had them though, and yet she doesn't have CML. Take care, Tracey > > My name is sue. I am a silent observer of this site. I have been on > Gleevec since Sept 04.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 My husband is a marathoner and has been on gleevec for 18mths. He gets blisters more now than pre-gleevec..which seems to have thinned out his skin some. -shalyn > Hi Stacey, > > I get occasional blood blisters on my feet after walking for a long > time (more than 3 miles).
