[Guest guest]

Has anyone had chronic rashes due to candida? Permamant hives and itching?

Raised red bumps. Itching feet on bottoms and top? Is so has anything

helped? Thanks.

For the past week, my face has been hot, unevenly red, blotchey, and I've had many pimples on my face and in my nose. I don't usually have any pimples at all and my skin is usually smooth. I'm taking only 5 mg of Prednisone (and 100 mg Imuran), so it's not the acne one often gets with the early, high dosage. My eyelids are just swollen enough to possibly account for my feeling out of sorts, dull-witted.

I can easily deal with the appearance, but I'm a little uneasy about why this is happening, and I wonder whether it has any medical significance. I feel silly about calling a doctor and saying "Help! My face is breaking out!" On the other hand, I didn't call about thrush until I had a real problem, thinking I just had an allergy. For that matter, I thought I just had an allergy (that itch), until I was so ill with AIH that I had a real problem.

I dunno. Has anyone else ever had this sort of skin problem?

Hi!

The last time that I went to my internist that was one of my complaints (about the skin condition). I was diagnosed with cia and was put on metrogel. So far it has

helped me a lot. Just wanted to let you know! God Bless

harper,

You need to contact the doctor STAT!!! If I my eyes were swollen I would not

wait to see a doctor. The

skin condition especially the hot part would have me very worried. Do you

have a dermatologist and a primary doctor??? If your primary is an

understanding doctor I would contact as soon as I could. PLEASE,PLEASE

see a doctor right away....

Harper,

Never had a skin problem like that but have often seen it in my clinicals.. Tony mentioned it might be cea and it sounds like that from your description and the tx is indeed metrogel. It is a bacterial skin infection of sorts... hmmmm I would be interested to hear what the doc says.

Harper that is the way my skin is a lot since going on the prednisone. I don't like it, but am glad the doctor gave me stuff yesterday to help. The blotchyness...sometimes I get that too-but I have forgotten to ask the doctor about it. I get it on my neck all the time----it turns beet red all of a sudden. Don't know why. Guess I best ask the doctor next time. Go ahead and call Harper because like you said with the thrush, it went too long before seeking that help. Better safe than sorry!

I'll call my GP this week unless there is a substantial change. I'd asked about rosacea a few years ago, when I first read about it. She said (at that time) that my skin was basically unusually clear and that it had just become irritated. Then, (pre-AIH), she suggested I use a lotion with a very high percentage of cortisone (prescription only) for two weeks and use Aquanil Lotion to wash my face. Aquanil is extremely mild and extremely inexpensive, and I love it. Very soon, my skin was in shape again. I don't think I have the same problem now. I mention it in case some of you have generally irritated skin that this treatment might help.

[Guest guest]

I haven't but I would talk to the Dr. about anything unusual. You seem likr the last person to have too much out of something.

When Candida has grown roots, they penetrate the intestinal wall. Toxins travel

through it. Consequently, toxins reach the skin surface since the skin is an

excreting organ. That is how many people develop skin conditions (there are

other factors).

Sugar, fried foods, caffeine, alcohol, dairy (milk, cheese, butter, cream),

birth control pills, stress, vitamins and mineral deficiencies are the number

one enemies of the skin.

You can go to different health food stores. They have many books that you can go

through. Also ask for help. Ask as many people as you can since not everybody

that works in there knows what they are talking about. Search on the net. Make

sure you are buying what you need and not wasting your money.

Good day/luck,

I may have found some answers to the question I just posted. Androgens and

estrogen may be the problem. Sometimes, I think I have symptoms of excess

estrogen and sometimes the opposite. We'll see... I get tested in 1

month.....

I think there's a file in the files section that addresses this. If I

remember correctly you don't get any bigger bang for the buck by using

more skin compared to a smaller area. I think that more skin was

associated with higher DHT levels and in the study the application to

the smaller area was spread out throughout the day. I hope this helps.

each day? Does anybody know what vegetables are rich in vitamin A?

==>True vitamin A is retinol, which is an oil soluble vitamin. It is

contained in cod liver oil or halibut liver oil. To help your skin

you can safety take 100,000 IUs per day so it's best to buy it in a

separate halibut liver oil capsule (without vitamin D), but after 1

month stop taking it for 2-3 days, and then continue for another

month, and so on. Dry skin also needs plenty of good saturated fats,

i.e. coconut oil & butter & lard; water cannot be utilized by the

cells unless you have enough good fats - see the Links (menu on the

left) for the article by Dr. Cowan on Dry Skin.

==>The richest source of vitamin A is beef liver. Vitamin A in

vegetables isn't as useable because it is beta carotene which must be

converted to retinol in the body, and most candida sufferers are not

able to do that conversion. The best sources of vitamin A are animal

meats, fish and eggs. If you want to check out nutrient contents in

foods see our Folder on it - I can't remember what it is called.

>

> Also I was wondering if it would be ok to take cod liver oil

capsules instead of the liquid. The liquid is so...fishy and tastes

vile I tried being strong and taking it for 2 days but I can't anymore

it leaves the most horrid taste in my mouth.

==>Yes, but do ensure you take enough capsules to equal 800-1200

vitamin D and 3,000 mg omega 3. Have you tried taking cod liver oil

liquid in hot tea? It waters down the taste somewhat and covers up

the flavor.

Tea tree oil or 3% hydrogen peroxide may work.

Does any one know how to get candida off your skin? Last night it itched & broke

out with white spots. never know what brings it on.

Sharon J. srjerdee@frontierne t.net also does any one have anxiety in there gut

? or stomach?

[Guest guest]

Hi all i have a question for any of you. I am on Methotrexate 5 2.5 pills a

week. The methotrexate is helping cure the psoriasis i have also. But just

recently my face is really dry i mean really dry underneath my eyes. I know

im 43 wondering if its age, or meds. I have tried every eye cream, nothing

is helping. Any one ever have this problem.

@@ Hi ,

Your welcome and yes I relate to what you are saying, in regards to " WHY ME! " I

think most on the group have felt the same, perhaps even, numerous times.

Yes, I'm not a 100%, however, I do not suffer from those symptoms any longer,

for quite awhile, now.

Yeah, I hear ya, mid back & shoulder, an itch so far... yet so close out of

reach ;-]. Anyway, no problem , just take a towel @ a good length apart with

both hands and give your back a good scrub .. lol

However, be warned, the scratching can make the itch worst. Just so you know

all the pros & cons.

Again, be patient, nothing bad last forever. Again been there and you know the

rest ;]

In Solidarity,

Ed
