Guest guest Posted May 10, 2001 Report Share Posted May 10, 2001 To be perfectly honest , I don't think it's ringworm. Ringworm is named that because of the distinct ring looking marks it makes .. and it would be very uncomfortable Here are pix: http://my.webmd.com/content/asset/adam_disease_ringworm Re: RE: a curious rash..... P.S. Is ringworm contagious? if so, how contagious? TY all, Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 10, 2001 Report Share Posted May 10, 2001 Sheri, I have had a rash (red and sometimes itchy and sometimes scaly) on my one elbow for about 15 years! I used to put cortisone cream (yuck, don't do that anymore!) on it, which only worked if I kept aplying it. Is this some sort of disturbance my body is trying to get rid of? I thought it was probably an allergy to something. Kathy : It also is some disturbance working its way out of the body - I have a : small patch right now myself. : I am letting it go to resolve on its own, otherwise will visit my homeopath : again to see what might need to be dealt with. : DON'T suppress with anything (including tea tree oil - I had a huge : terrible reaction to that 2 years ago - you can't imagine) : Sheri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 10, 2001 Report Share Posted May 10, 2001 is it raised? Sounds like MAYBE ringworm. Paint it with gentian violet. Any of the Athlete's Foot products will work also. Be warned, Gentian Violet will stain. But paint it on and let her go shirtless or at least have that area exposed to the sunlight and it will get gone fast. Ellen ladylumbee@...

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2001 Report Share Posted May 10, 2001 I dont think it is ringworm either. I have checked the pics on that site from Zoonana (ty btw and I have added it to my favs.) and it is not like it. The mark is very faint and like a watermark.

YOu are not doing the body any favors. What is there needs to come out and that is the route it has taken.

Weird! LOL I havent done anything to it Sheri ,waiting and waiting. ;-) Actually, b4 bedtime I checked and I think it is fading! Thankyou for your homeopath's number Sheri!! I am very grateful. :-D BTW - off to a meeting with the homeopath and another from the Tawe group (a) on Saturday. £10 for 2 hours of basics on homeopathy! Looking forward to it.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2001 Report Share Posted May 11, 2001 Could this be psoriasis? If so yes. It usually comes up from food allergy, toxin build up, nerves (toxins). I know mine is worse when I do not eat right, am under lots of stress. Exposure to sunlight (vit D) Helps. Taking vit a & d or cod liver oil is great for this. I have it and my Daddy was covered in it. Ellen ladylumbee@...

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2001 Report Share Posted May 11, 2001 Oh good grief - it sounds tiny and very faint and probably nothing but irritation from panties or something.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2001 Report Share Posted May 11, 2001 Its on her elbow, how could that be irritation from panties?? And its been there for 15 years. Psoriasis is minimal in my experience if left untreated by doctors. As I said, I have it and its on my face and no one but my close family knows as it does not break out unless I do not eat right, etc. It is in my hair too. I feel that this supports your theory of something on the inside my body is trying to get rid of so it comes out through the skin. My Daddy had his treated by doctors. Ugly stuff.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2001 Report Share Posted May 11, 2001 My friend's son was allergic to the metal snaps and it was similiar to ringworm...is this possible? My daughter was also diagnosed with ringworm and it sounded like what your child has. It was on the crease on the back of her knee and left alone it looked more like exzema. We took her to homeopath as this is something I wanted to do fer her and her future generations. Please consult one...it didn't bother her(she was 1 yr.) and it was pink,round,a little raised in the middle and eventually looked like a scab during the healing process. As it was in the back of her knee, this is an area I don't see very often so don't know how it looked when it started out. I am not a medical doctor, nor do I portray one on t.v.
