Guest guest Posted September 17, 2000 Report Share Posted September 17, 2000 Hi Ersilia, I have them too, and they're known as pretibial myxedema. This condition generally affects the front part of the lower legs. Cortisone cream has helped, and I also use an herbal salve now and then.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2000 Report Share Posted September 17, 2000 Hi I had sores (very itchy). They had a definite centre. There was nothing to do but live through them. They were diagnosed as Pitiriasis Rosea. They seem to happen fairly frequently from what I understand. They went away on their own but came back again! The second time they lasted about 5 weeks then went. Haven't had any further. Check it out with your doctor.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Sammy gets patches of eczema as well. Not all the time, and usually just on her back, but she's had it off and on since she was about two. Over the counter Cortaid (cortisone cream) works great. --Lori (mom to Sammy, 6, JRA/uveitis/?)

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 HI, This does NOT seem to be a sympto. May be totally unrelated. Your post is the post mentioning actual sores all over the body since I started this group back in early 2000.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 My five year old had this . . . he had tons of ringworm looking spots on his legs, chests, arms etc. It was gross. I was freaking out wondering how he came into contact with it. I was putting Lotrimim on his spots 3 times a day and it wasn't working. I took him to the Ped and they said that it was exsema (spelt way wrong) and so I put steriod cream on it and they went away! There is a exsema that is round like ringworm - maybe this is what she has . . . Hannah > > Does anyone experiemce sores on their childs body?

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 My daughter has periodical fevers(since she was 1 yr and 3 months) and excema(since she was 8 months). Are these related somehow ? Also she started getting the fevers since her MMR shots (at age 1). could the fevers be due to the vaccinations ? Just trying to understand the cause.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 If the original person is describing eczema, this is common with many PFSs. Actual SORES are NOT common. There is a difference. ph also has eczema, worse as infant and toddler and better now. Fran Fran Bulone RN Mom to ph 7yr Waxhaw NC / Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 PFS is NOT from vaccinations. There is no medical documentation. There appears to be VARIOUS things that may be a trigger the start of however not one simple answer. Children get their first episode at various ages not specific to any vaccine or specific trigger. Also there is a message board out on for people who feel vaccines may be the cause. Please join that group if you would like to discuss this issue.

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 Hello. I don't have enough time to read all the posts and emails on this group, but check them from time to time (I get the digest). I happened to read the post about the skin sores and thought I'd report my own experience. On Aug. 13, 2006, after working in the garden most of the day, I came inside and felt like something stung me on my left shoulder. I saw nothing there, but the pain was severe and it began to itch, burn and sting madly. I tried topical applications of ointments, salves, essential oils, colloidal silver, aloe vera, cortisone cream, anti- fungal, ice, heat, you name it. The pain was deep, relentless and persistent. It continued into the night such that I couldn't even sleep. The next day I found 2 small crater sores on the spot. I thought I'd been bitten by some sort of spider, but the craters were not close together, about an inch or so apart. I thought the worst was over. From then on, every night, the cycle repeated itself and more sores appeared and spread down my arm. Internet research led me to rule out shingles, but I thought it might be scabies. I treated for scabies, but that did not solve the problem. I developed huge scabs from scratching. After a month of suffering, I went to see my doc at Kaiser who looked at the sores and even took a scraping to look at under a microscope. He said it didn't look like scabies at all, but he had no idea what it was and went ahead and prescribed permethrin cream anyway (which I did not use because I have Hep C). I have also been exposed to mold which is why I was referred to join this group. The torture continued and led me to find out about Morgellons which is what I believe it is. But what Morgellons is, remains a mystery although many theories abound. I joined many Morg. groups looking for solutions and relief. In doing so, I also learned that there was a connection between the Morg. symptoms and Lyme disease. I soon found out that I had Lyme and Babesia to add to my nightmare. I'm not sure what the most current and up to date findings are regarding Morgellons, but I'm convinced that it is some sort of parasite as it cycles with the lunar phases with outbreaks at new and full moons (parasites reproduce with the lunar cycles). The sores (craters) appear and open up without any scratching or provocation and tiny seedlike grains come out of them. I looked at these under a friend's microscope and they look like they have a cell wall with blue fibers resembling malphigian tubules within. Some of them had a fiber attached to them. I was totally freaked out and being driven mad by this...saving the extrusions in little vials. Out of fear of being labeled with the dx of delusional parasitosis, I never went back to see my Kaiser doctor about this as I've heard too many horror tales of going down that road. After trying many suggestions and treatments for the Morgellon sores which would not heal and had spread to the right shoulder, arm and back of neck and shoulders, I heard about NutraSilver. I took it as part of a trial and within a wk., experienced improvement. It did not cure or prevent the condition entirely, but mitigated the spread and severity of the outbreaks as long as I kept taking it. You do not apply it topically, but take it internally. If I put it on the sores topically, the critters or whatever the hell they are under the skin just migrate to a new spot and spread (very painful). I could actually see the tunnels under my skin as faint white lines. I currently take 30 drops of NS in a big glass of water 2x/day. As long as I do this, the outbreaks that occur (always with the new and full moons), are one to two small sores that quickly heal...still in the same regions of the initial outbreaks. If I stop taking NS, all hell breaks loose quickly and the sores spread. Last year, I had pancreatitis and couldn't take any of my supplements for over a couple wks. as I was too ill and could barely drink water and eat at all. During this time, I experienced an outbreak of painful lesions equivalent to the first time and it spread rapidly down my right arm. One of the sores became infected and left a huge scar. After being able to resume taking supplements again including NS, the sores abated and healed. Thus, I keep taking NS and it keeps things from getting out of control. Being that I have Hep C, Lyme, Babesia and this Morg. nightmare, my life is very complicated and stretched with protocols and such, thus I'm not able to keep up with the emails and groups, so I can't promise I'll be able to respond should anyone reply to me about this in a timely manner. I will just leave things like this: Nutrasilver is what is working for me to mitigate the severity of the Morg. sores. No cure, but control and relief. Being that I have liver issues, I know I can't experiment with some of the stuff others have used and found to be helpful such as ivermectin and fenbendazole (wormers)...much too toxic for me. I've been taking NS regularly now since 2006 with the exception of the pancreatitis episode and one other time when I thought I'd try to stop and see what happened which wasn't a good idea at all. I've used other colloidal silvers for years and they were not effective with this condition. Only NS has worked for me. I have no fear of using colloidal silvers as long as the particle size in nano-sized. Good luck to you and healing. in Sacramento Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
