Guest guest Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Hi , There are a number of things this could be, but they sound like " Molluscum Contagiousum " . Apparently quite common but never seen at my Kid's School, who has them. They start really small and get a bit bigger. If this is what they are, they can be contagious but don't go overboard, just be a little bit careful not to share towels. They are viral in origin and were my Dan Dr's first clue (and mine) that my kid was viral. He tested for quite a few viruses with high titres.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Could this be it? http://www.helpforkp.com/ Also, I thought I read somewhere that lipase (enzymes that breaks down fat) deficiency can cause " chicken skin. " I can't seem to find links though. I know they didn't call it " chicken skin, " so I can't remember how I came across it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 For my son, this " goose bump " rash is Keratosis Pilaris. And it usually means he is oil deficient. When he gets this rash, his lips are also really dry and cracked. When he gets the rash I bump up his oil consumption- CLO and add oils to all his foods. It takes about a week or so but then we see improvement. He is in the middle of a big rash currently. Yeast treatment makes it worse.

This sounds like keratosis pilaris, which for my #3 was eliminated with mito cocktail and fish oil, mB12, anti-virals, and anti-fungals [in that order of effectiveness]. > Could it be the streps in the ProBio Gold causing these " goosebump " > like " rash " ?

Try going back to the other probiotic, see if that helps. > Also, my son's CDSA back in August of this year shows he has Alpha > Haemolytic strep. Could that be an indication that my son has PANDAS? Maybe. Try giving OLE. I eliminated strep here with OLE. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
