skin rash

[Guest guest]

HELLO COOKEY, YOUR PROBLEM IS CAUSED BY THE LYME BACTERIA BEING TOO CLOSE TO

THE SKIN SURFACE. THIS FREQUENTLY OCCURS WHEN USING ANTIBIOTICS THAT MAKE

IT DIFFICULT FOR THE LYME BACTERIA TO LIVE. THE LYME BACTERIA IS SEEKING A

SAFE PLACE TO ESCAPE THE ANTIBIOTICS. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS CONDITION ON

SEVERAL OCCASIONS. AT FIRST I DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING, THE SKIN WILL

FREQUENTLY BREAK OPEN CAUSING A RASH. I NOW KNOW HOW TO TREAT THE CONDITION.

ONE NEEDS TO HEAT UP THE SKIN SURFACE AND THIS WILL KILL THE SURFACE

BACTERIA. I HAVE USED A HEATING PAD OR A HOT SHOWER. FOR YOUR FACE A HOT

SHOWER AND

LET THE HOT WATER RUN ON YOUR FACE WILL PROBABLY TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM.

YOU DON'T NEED ANY DIAGNOSIS.

BEST WISHES,

SIDNEY

Cooky -

I also have started getting red welts on my face that fade into brown

spots. Is that a lyme thing??? I also used to have perfect skin, now I

break out easily.

Well I have had so many rash the rashes had rashes for a while I would not be to

concern about as changes in soap, that type of deorderant, even ever the shampoo

give me problems and mostly the best is just watch what your using for a while

then if it keep up recheck with you Dr. Bud

Does anyone out there have any raised skin rashes when they herx or

have an increase in lyme symptoms? I have a few places on my face

which are red welts and then fade into brown spots. The dermatologist

diagnosed it as seborrhetic keratosis, but it coincides with

symptoms. Just getting concerned that maybe I need a biopsy to look

for spirochetes. Know any good labs that are more reliable for this

type of thing?

Thanks,

Cooky,

I get something similar except the spots fade to purple not brown.

Doxycycline and Cipro have both seem to " create " the rash by running

spirochetes out through the skin. That is what my dr explained and I

believe that is similar to what Sydney posted. I had one little bump

that turned into a large knot and had to get the dr to cut it open

and remove all the gunk inside. It was very weird stuff, looked like

grandular white sand. Dr said the body walled off the spirochetes as

they tried to escape through the pores. He said sometimes the chetes

get caught up in the residues of the abx hence the weird white pasty

wax that appears inside the lumps and bumps some Lymies get. -

Just a fyi...i did some research on lyme rashes last night and found

evidence of a teritiary (late stage) lyme rash that turns purple,

but not brown....so who knows in my case. I did notice those pasty

white knots on my face which i figured were white heads, but looking

back could have been abx and spirochetes. Nothing surprises me

anymore.

==>Pat, it is highly unlikely her rash is from the pillow or it would

have been gone by now. Does your daughter have candida, or has she had

colds and flu, etc. or has she been exposed to some toxins, i.e.

processed foods, cleaning supplies, etc., etc., etc.. Rash is the

body's way of getting rid of toxins.

I haven't really seen the usual candida symptoms but she has did

recently have a bout with a sore throat. She gets very swollen

tonsils often (4 times last year.) It has tested negative for

strep. Right now her throat is not sore but her voice is very horse.

She refuses natural health remedies. Her dad takes her to the

doctor and they give her antibiotics. No on the cleaning supplies

but she lives on processed foods.

==>Even if she doesn't have candida, getting swollen tonsils is a sign

of toxins too.

==>Processed foods is the problem for sure! They are wicked and very

toxic. She needs nutrients and elimination of toxic foods. Sorry

Pat. My own daughter won't listen to me either.

> Hi Bee,

> My two year old who has been on the diet for 1.5 weeks now has

developed a rash on his tummy. It starts above the navel and ends

right under his chest. I'm assuming it is die off/detox related. He

is taking 1 T of coconut oil daily right now. I have given an epsom

bath, and rubbed coconut oil on it several times. Is there anything

else I should do for it?

==> , the body externalizes healing to the skin to protect vital

inner organs, and the skin is also one of the best ways for the body

get rid of toxins. So yes, it is die-off/detox related.

==>To soothe rash you can pat on some baking soda; wet your fingers and

pat it on after you apply coconut oil.

I've had red itchy bumps all over my back but especially in the upper center

-- very itchy, it burns when I put 3% hydrogen peroxide on after my

bath/shower. Dh has been dousing it with coconut oil each night & morning --

sometimes I think it's getting better & then it gets worse again -- dh & I

started this diet the end of September & are very pleased with the results

-- we both feel better & have lost a lot of weight (very good thing) -- he's

lost about 35 & I've lost about 21 - give or take a pound or 2!

I'll try the soda -- any other ideas that a woman of 61 can do?

Thanks,

June in cloudy South Dakota

==>Hi June. A rash is a good sign that healing is taking place for

sure! There might be some more good ideas in the Skin & Nail

Treatments Folder.

Hi June, I had the same thing recently. I rubbed coconut oil on and

then patted oil of oregano on top of it. The oil of oregano was the

only thing that eased the itching. I tried the oil of oregano without

the coconut oil, but that burned too. You could probably just mix a few

drops in the coconut oil instead of doing it like I did. It still took

a couple weeks to heal up. In fact I still have just a few, but they

aren't itchy or open anymore.

Good luck!

I tried the oregano oil -- it does seem to help --- this morning I put H2O2

on after my shower, then the co & that seems to relieve the itching for a

while but I'm going to have dh apply the oregano consistently along with the

co & hopefully I'll be able to clear my rash as well -- thanks for your help

As mentioned I recently started Testim therapy. I noticed I started

to break out with what looked like angry boils with white heads or

pimples.

They are located on each forearm and not where I apply the Testim

(elbow to shoulder). I read the Testim side affects and it only

referenced a rash on the application sight.

Is the breakout normal?

FYI Phil, I am starting the process to go see Dr. Crisler.

Thanks for the reference. This enables me to continue to travel and

get support on the road.

[Guest guest]

This can happen and will should go away as your body gets use to having better

levels. Give it some Time.
