Guest guest Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 >> > Thanks Bee. What a coincidence, I did try baking soda on a patch of my skin to see how it did. Not only did it stop the itching in this area, but also made it slough off easier. I'm in, going to put it all over after a vinegar bath. Won't be going anywhere.... I did also want to inquire, I am peeling. my eyes, behind my ears, under my nares, around my mouth, and my neck. Anybody have this peeling thing after treating a fungal rash? Its not a sunburn peel, its more of a crystalized skin peel. ==>Hi Frito. I suggest you take baking soda baths instead of vinegar too. Or mix baking soda 50/50 with Epsom Salts. The peeling is caused by new skin being formed underneath, so the layer on top is sloughing off. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son has a strep rash on his bottom right now and it is itching him. The Dr has recommended antibiotics for a week, but I am trying to figure out what I can do instead. Any suggestions???

The Dr has recommended antibiotics for a week, but I am trying to figure out what I can do instead. Any suggestions??? ==>It is obvious your son's immune system is very depressed, so it is most important that he obtain the proper nutrients according to the principles on this program (and eliminate toxins) so his body can heal, and so he doesn't get it again. There are many natural treatments that can be used instead of antibiotic drugs, but again nutrients are more important. Treatments, and even antibiotics won't help unless his immune system is build up. Antibiotics will cause candida overgrowth, if he doesn't already have it, and they suppress the disease/symptoms which will come out later on as more severe illnesses. One of the best treatments is to mix up 1/3rd of each of these: coconut oil, cod liver oil and oil of oregano and apply it directly to the areas affected. Baking soda can be patted onto the oil, or put on when it is particularly itchy. He should also take baking soda baths to soothe the itching.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Is it all on one side of his body? If not, it probably isn't Shingles. If there's any chance it is Shingles, get help immediately.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Just before I was diagnosed, i did get an itchy rash on my back. No matter what name you want to call it, a rash along with a depressed immune system means you should definitely get to the MD asap. It's not worth messing around, and you can find relief much faster! Best of luck!

Bee has recommended using Oregano Oil for this and it's helped me a lot. Here's the link on Oregano oil: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/anti6.php It's very strong, so you just add a few drops to a carrier oil like coconut oil or olive oil and then then spread this on the rash. If you have any broken skin, you will want to avoid that area as the Oregano will " burn " there. Hope this helps. Marissa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe your rash was caused by an insect bite, since that would resolve sooner than this. All skin eruptions and rashes are caused by toxins coming out through the skin. It appears your body favors releasing toxins in that specific area. > I've been soaking that leg daily in epsom salt/baking soda water. I originally used Aveeno on it for the itching, but am now using homemade calendua oil (olive oil). Are there other things I can do to speed up the detoxification and healing of that rash? +++It will take time for your body to detoxify, which is the same as die-off or healing symptoms, which cannot be rushed. However there are some treatments that can sooth the area in the meantime - I think the treatments in this article will help you most: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/menu_2_5_3.php +++Also ensure you are doing such things as dry skin brushing, coffee enemas, and that you are having the Electrolyte Drink, which assist detoxification.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Geez, I've found I have another question too. I get this very small rash on my face from the candida. Also a small circle on my nose that looks identical to a ringworm circle. I've been treating both with antifungal creme but was wondering if there is something else I should be doing to get rid of it. The rash itches but the circle doesn't. Thanks so much.

All rashes and other kinds of skin eruptions are toxins coming out through the skin, so of course healing them means the diet and supplements which help your body heal and detoxify itself. In the meantime you can try to soothe the symptoms somewhat by applying unrefined coconut oil mixed with oil of oregano like Marissa recommended, or see other treatments you can try in this article about itching: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/treat14.php The best to you, bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 > I've had a lot of iching lately. My legs have gotten better but the inside of my arms haven't. The rash is on the inside of my arms where the thin skin is. It's very faint looking! My husband said that it looks like chicken pocks to him. i thought I might be retracing poison Ivy seeings as that is where I've had it. I picked it up from trimmimg my hedges one summer and the Dr put me on steroids and cream. > I'm interested in your thoughts as to what it might be? Also, what could I use to keep the iching down? I woke up last night and I was iching it in my sleep. It really reminds me of Poison Ivy..lol +++Hi Treva. Your husband may be right, that your body is retracing poison ivy since you used toxic drugs to treat it. Also any skin eruptions of any kind are because toxins are coming out through the skin.

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Hi Geri, What I have gotten as a rash has been........ a rash on my chest area that was like pimples - but they left a scar. A round small scar. I went to a specalist back then that had no idea what my rash was - go figure - this was befor I was diagnoised and have had lyme for over 10 years at the time. Now while on antibiotics this rash has moved to my legs and arms and just resently has moved to my neck. It pops out of no where and looks sort of like a pimple with clear head - and hurts and itches very bad - when this is itched the rash kind of comes off and then a scab apears - but really read circle scab - and if itched again it will come off in a circle and then you have a raw round hole in your skin. These have all made a white circle kind of scar on my skin or just stays a red circle. Just recently I have been getting more and more coming out - I had to wear short sleves now that the warmer weather is settin in. I am going to go over it again with my LLMD in a few weeks to ask for sure what this is - I have heard before that when something in lyme dies in you it comes out thru the skin - not sure if this is true. My daughters have also had weird rashes........ in the hair very dry red skin - rash on face like fifths disease - also sometimes the rash on the upper outer arms with small red bumps......... This is what my family has gotten and all our regular and special doctors in the past have had no idea what it is or just tell us that the under layers of our skin is very dry and it comes out like this - sure.

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 If you have my lyme resource CD, read the folder called testing. There is allot of information there. Basically a negative for Lyme means nothing. A positive though is always true. Get another doctor and get some different tests done. Find an LLMD if you can. It sure sounds to me like she has Chronic Lyme and you can help her or you can let her continue to get much worse. Its your choice! For info on how to get my free lyme resource cd, read the files section of this group's website. > Re: [ ] Re: rash > > Hello Diane, > She had all the systems of Limes, one test came back neg so > her doc wont test any more for it. > Her joints hurt her so bad and now she can hard walk do to > weakness in her legs.She is very tired..the more active she > is or in the sun the more trouble she has.She gets chills and > cant get warm, then hot.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 Diane, I think it was you who described the rash as a pimple with a clear head. Itches alot. Red circle around it..... Anyway, I have a dx of babesia from a LLMD. I see the infectious disease doctor at the end of June. I am so glad you described this rash because it sounds exactly what I had below the base of my spine. I only had one patch of it and as soon as it itched I looked in the mirror and saw it looked a tiny bit like a blister but really a pimple with a clear head described it better. It did scab over and I think it took 2 weeks to go away completely. I'm glad someone posted this subject because I was just chalking it up to another strange symptom that I didn't understand and almost forgot all about because it hasn't recurred. That was 2 months ago I had the rash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
