Guest guest Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 I have a rash on my chest and back. I also have the other Lupus symptoms and so I thought for sure it would come back as a Lupus rash. I had it biopsied and it came back as Pityriasis Versicolor (tinea). I looked this up and it is a fungal/yeast infection on my skin - yikes. Anyhow, it takes a special shampoo to clear up. It makes me wonder if I still have a lot of yeast issues going on inside too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Thanks for the link PH. I will check it out. One thing I thought was interesting is that I am also of direct German/Bohemian descent.Love Traci"Feeling down?

I had only heard it was hormonal related and a side effect of contraceptives. There is definitely some type of hormonal/fungal connection in women but I can't figure it out. I've never been able to take birth control pills due to yeast side effects. See this for natural melasma cures. http://www.earthcli nic.com/CURES/ melasma.html Someone in there writes "I believe liver spots, melasma, age spots, whatever they are called are mostly related to an internal fungal condition". I never had an age spot until two years ago at 37 and suddenly I had tons of liver spots all over my hands and super dark brown moles all over my chest that appeared out of nowhere...right as I became ill. We had a thread on this long ago about how several of us had moles that cropped up when we got sick.

I had itching skin above my navel and on the top of my foot. Whenever I used tolnaftate (an antifungal spray powder, it went away.) Once I found out I was toxic though I tried to find a more natural remedy. I saw a lot of people recommending apple cider vinegar and it worked! It's supposed to be good in lightening melasma(another fungus) too. I take ACV baths a couple times a week. I was told to make sure to use Bragg's The Mother brand because it is unfiltered. > Also, in my local health newspaper, one of the top naturopaths recommends drinking 1 t of ACV in water a day to rid the body of internal fungi that's out of control. Do you still have to stay away from tea and garlic due to intolerances? On the autism forums, parents talk about what success they've had with biotin and grapefruit seed extract in getting rid of their kids' yeast. I've been on both for a few months. > I wonder if coconut oil would be good for the rash too? > http://what. a.mess.tribe. net/thread/ 0faf10db- e742-4bab- a832- 45d00a358c8 4 > Good luck!

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Hi Rogene,Hope you are doing well. Interesting thing, my family doc, after I told her about my symptoms put me on probiotics right away and told me it's the best way to get fungal problems. She's very knowledgeable on this stuff. I updated my surgeon on what's going on with me fungally and he totally agreed with my family doc.Love TraciPS: Right now Prowler is chasing my mouse pointer on my laptop - very cute."Feeling down?

Just part of the "normal" flora of our bodies. They really don't hurt us. . . What hurts is the imbalance between the bad organisms and the normal, good, organisms we must have to keep everything in check. One of the problems the medical profession has with treating fungal issues is that we all test positive. . . . When they give us antibiotics or steriods, the drugs kill off friend and foe alike. Many of the negative organisms are hardier than the friendly organisms, so the bad ones rebound faster . . . keeping the friendly ones out. Most doctors don't address the resulting fungal issues, or understand that the friendly organisms must be replaced. I found myself explaining this to my ear surgeon just recently . . . To his credit, he was interested and listened. But he didn't even know what a probiotic was! There have been a number of books on the subject written by scholarly writers . . . Yet many in the allopathic medical profession has yet to take the issue seriously. In my dream world, egos would be set aside as the various schools of medicine took time to learn from each other . . . Then maybe we could all get well faster!
