Skin rashes

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

I have something that I use for my cats itchy skin that might help yours.

You can contact me privately if interested. morningsunrannch@...

-- Skin rashes

Deanna,

I've been suffering along with my cats from something

itchy for over 4 months. Their hair is breaking off,

they are mangy, we've paid for every professional

flea, tick, mite and lice treatment avail. I've

finally come to the current conclusion that they have

severe ear mites(microscopic and unable to be seen).

It's a constant fight to even treat the cats without

pay tons of money to the vet. Yeast is a secondary

infection of mites in their ears. I'm very sensitive

to this I think. I'm taking a vinegar towel to bed

with me and rubbbing in on itchy places on my skin as

I try to sleep. I'm sure i'll have to keep vinegaring

my damn cats in the bath tub too. Vinegar, mite

medicine, dips. I'm so tired of dealing with this and

loosing much sleep to itching.

I used to get HORRID chafing in between my thighs and it became a huge itchy

rash on one side. I did a couple of things:

I bought some Masada Dead Sea Mineral Bath Salts, Unscented. I added them to

a bowl of hot water and stirred it so the salts kinda melt into the water.

Then I dipped a washcloth in it and rang the washcloth out. I then used the

washcloth as a hot compress on my rash. I left it on for about 8 minutes (it

starts to get cold) and then ran it through the bowl again and applied it

another 8 or so minutes. That immediately got rid of the itching. However, I

wouldn’t keep it on a baby’s genitals for long as it does hav a slight sting

to it when you first put it on. (Or maybe don’t use a lot of the sea salt. I

used about ¼ cup to about 2 cups of hot water.)

Also, I recently bought Pharm-Aloe Aloe Vera Gel. It’s not the synthetic

junk form the drug store. This is the actual stuff and is clear. (Aloe Vera

Gel is not green) I’ve been applying it to my legs and it acts as a sort of

protectant. I’ve tried ALL the powders available and NOTHING worked except

for this. In fact, first try the Aloe Vera Gel and see if that helps. It may

take about 5 minutes to dry before you can put on the diaper. Make sure you

buy the good stuff because the cheap green colored junk won’t do anything.

Good Luck!!!

Can anyone suggest an immediate topical fix for bad case of diaper

rash, I'm sure it's yeast related.

==>Hi . Welcome to our group.

==>Yes, rashes and itching is caused by candida but it is much better

to take natural anti-histamines rather than drugs. Drugs will simply

suppress the symptoms and not really treat the cause. The body

creates rashes as a way to get rid of toxins in order to protect vital

inner organs, and the immune system creates histamines, which is a

healing substance. Rashes and itching are signs that something is

going wrong inside, so it is important that you take action to correct

it and not just treat the symptoms. This program will provide your

body with what it needs to heal naturally. Please read my

article " How to Successfully Overcome Candida " - it was sent to you

when you joined, or find it in the Files (left menu) in the 1st

Folder. Also see articles in the Skin & Nail Folder - I think there's

one on itching and rashes. Also read articles in the Heal Naturally

Folder (I think that is what it is called, or it could be Natural

Healing too) so you understand how the body gets worse before it gets

better and why that happens.

==>There are many natural anti-histamines, including megadoses of

vitamin C, which are best taken in a tea i.e. stinging nettle,

dandelion, Pau D'Arco - I think there might be an article listing some

of them - I do not have time to find it but click on the 2nd Folder in

our Files and use your Edit Find function on your browser to find it

in the List.

You can get well again , without resorting to medical treatments

or drugs, but treating the cause with nutrients takes time, patience

and persistence.

The best in health, Bee

I have been suffering from massive skin allergies since my last trip

to Mexico last Year, since returning I am always itchy, i come out in

big rashes regardless what I eat, the only thing I can do to stop the

rash like welts appearing is to take anti hystamines. Could this be

Candida related, no doctor seems to know whats wrong with me or why I

Hi :

I was plagued by itchy hives for a couple of years - to get through the

worst of them, I used Quercetin which is a natural antihistamine (you can

find it at the health food store). It worked every time.

Cheers - Penny

[Guest guest]

Penny & , Quercetin is a flavonoid and is one of the Vitamin C

co-factors. It is best to take it with vitamin C, and along with

other co-factors, i.e. rutin, hesperidin & other bioflavonoids.

a,

I wondered this myself -- that was my first assumption , that the rash was

simply a detox symptom as opposed to the candida actually living near the

surface of my skin . But now I just have the intuitive sense that the

candida did in fact decide to take up residence on my skin because it didn't

like the inner environment. It's been quite persistent in and of itself and

doesn't necessarily abate when other die-off symtoms occur. I suppose this

correlates to my doctor's recommendation to use a topical anti-fungal.

Maybe someone else has a more definite answer?

This transition from to the body surface is seen often in ozone treatment. The

rash is unbearable in this state.

You only know from trying.

I'd use extra virgin coconut oil as a lotion... and I'd SKIN BRUSH. :-)

Both are very powerful.

[Guest guest]

I use a product called 'Anti-Itch' by Aubry Organics. It's the best

product I've found to control skin rashes.

[Guest guest]

I bought that (Aubry's Anti-Itch) and almost died!!! Sounds like you're

lucky not to have much problem with fragrance sensitivities. Yah, I'm sure

it could help the itch, but inhaling and contacting the heavy essential oil

is more than my leaky gut & overburdend detox pathways could handle! Took

me a couple days to recover and I had to wash it out of my clothes &

bedding. I've found that most Aubry products are way too highly scented for

me, even though they are all natural. Wish I had all the $ I've spent on

them in past and never used because of it!

Thanks, by the way, for suggesting using coconut oil. Good idea a!!

Thanks so much for your info. Glad to see that you and hubby are

rash free. Where did you get the formula to apply? Maybe there is a

simpler less expensive one for my rash.

I do hope your friend is feeling better, I wonder if her condition is

Fibro Myalgia, that is one of my ailmemts, not the worsed, but

painful and very fatiqueing. However, God is good, just think of all

the children affected by this centurys' deseases. You've been

great. Thanks again and God Bless.

I developed skin rashes that itched so much at the base of my neck. I put

colloidal silver 5ppm. It stopped for a while, then came back, I then combined

colloidal silver 5ppm and swedish bitters. It went away for good. I think it

happens everytime i go out when mold count is high here in Austin and elsewhere.

[Guest guest]

Thanks, , for sharing that.  I will keep that neat

tip for when I need it.

Hi Patty,

I hope you don't mind if I jump in. I would be very careful with

rashes, especially since you mentioned you take prescription meds.

Over time I developed allergies to several prescription meds. After a

surgery in 2005 I have a very severe allergic reaction that is called

s Syndrome. One symptom being a horrible intensely itchy

rash that ended up looking like a third degree burn that covered my

whole body. After several days I felt like my insides were literally

on fire. I would drink 2 gallons of water a day just to try to quench

the fire inside. I only weighed 95lbs at the time so that was a lot of

water for me. The horrible thing was even the doctors in the ER didn't

want to treat me. I was literally turned away by all my doctors at the

time. I was lucky, SJS can be fatal, can cause blindness and has a

host of many other complications.

Many prescription drugs (and OTC drugs like Ibuprofen) can cause SJS.

Here is a link to an SJS fact sheet if you are interested.

www.sjssupport.org/pdf/sjsfactsheet.doc Mainly, I just want to tell

you to be very careful when taking prescription meds, their side

effects are not always initially apparant. Finding natural solutions

to our physical problems is much safer.

Good Morning Nanette:

 

God bless you for responding to my problem.  WOW, scary stuff about a rash.  You

would think a good Dr. would have been able to clear it up or an excellent home

remedy.  How did you ever find out it was stevens johnson's syndrome? and how

did you ever treat it?  Are you better now?  I hope so, and I hope you gained

some weight!!

I'm certainly going to look up the site for SJS.  I doubt from my own diagnosis

that it's that bad and SJS.  It's not on my back or stomach as yet.  I did call

the pharmacist as soon as this thing spread and she said that other than the

usual dizziness, dry mouth, etc. none of my heart meds/thyroid/fibro

myalgia/pain med or cymbalta would cause a RASH of any kind.  So there you are,

as confused as I am??  Needless to say when it worsened I headed for the

internet and here we are.

Thanks again and keep in touch.  Would like to know how you are feeling after

your terrible ordeal..

Take care and eat!!

God Bless,

patti

HI - That sounds like exzema to me. Grant gets that often, especially

when he has been playing hard and sweating a lot. We have a cream that we put

on it and it goes away very quickly. I can't think of the name of it right now.

Psoriasis is usually on the outside of the elbow or knee's and it is white and

scaly. Grant also has psoriasis (hasn't had any since he started MTX about 1 yr

ago) but never on his elbows or knee's even though that is a common place to get

it. He has had it on his scalp and then spots on other random parts of his

body. When he gets those they are white and scaly but also perfectly round and

get bigger if left untreated. Having said all that, psoriasis and exzema are

hard to distinguish and I would recommend seeing an experienced derm instead of

a GP.

Oh, just to mention one other thing, there is a rash that you get with systemic

JRA. Don't know anything about that one except that it is common.

Thanks

We saw the GP today, who obviously hadn't even glanced at Amy's notes

because I told him about the rash and I was worried in case it was a side

effect of the Methotrexate and he said, " Gosh, what's she on that for? "

!!!!!

He confirmed it is exzema (dreadful spelling I know - but I guess I'll learn

to spell it in time) and prescribed 1% hydrocortisone cream and oilatum bath

stuff

Sigh of relief

- Thats good news!

I've had the same experience when I need to take Grant to the GP for something.

They must not have time to read the file before hand.

Just an FYI and not to scare you, but, we have used the hydrocortisone cream

before but our derm prescribed something else for us because the hydrocortisone

can cause stretch marks. One other thing our derm told us is to keep the skin

moisturized. That alone really helped Grant's skin before we started the MTX.

Hi ,

My 2 year old daughter also has Polyarticular JRA and has been on Methotrexate

and Enbrel for quite awhile. She has been battling little colds/infections

since January and in late February she also developed a rash which started on

the inside of her elbow. It has since spread to her cheeks, chest, hands and

feet but it is now pretty faint in all areas but her cheeks. Our pediatrician

and rheumatologist sent us to a dermatologist mid-March. The dermatologist

thought the rash was either Fifth disease or Parvovirus b19, not eczema or

psoriasis, and that the rash was caused by an infection and would go away on

it's own. Maybe your daughter has something similar.

[Guest guest]

Thanks

I will defo keep an eye on the rash - my daughter has also been battling

colds and infections since January and just when I thought her cold had gone

and her nose seemed to have stopped running, a few days later it's started

again - she's got a constant runny nose!!!

Hi,

is correct – hydrocortisone cream (a steroid cream) can cause stretch

marks, particularly when used for a longer period of time. What many people are

not aware of is that steroids taken by mouth (pill or liquid form) can also

cause stretch marks.

Gleevec gets a lot of the blame for skin problems, but it is not limited to

Gleevec. There are othere TKI's that cause the same or similiar problems for

some. Skin shedding, bone pains, alligator skin, dryness etc. may all be signs

of de-toxing, but it doesn't make it go away. Thanks to everyone who offered

their suggestions. I have a question, , how do I soak in a solution when I

can't lie down in a tub? I have awful skin tears, too and they take a long time

to heal, the gashes just peel like an orange and I try to seal it back with an

antiseptic or antibiotic cream before bandaging it up. People ask me what is

wrong with my arms, it looks like I have been beaten up. I just say it is a

platelet problem.

Feedback please if you have any solutions that worked for you.

Thanx,

Lottie Duthu
