Can you get some pure aloe vera gel? Even the liquid can help! No

broken skin? Are you sure it was a scratch? Was it broken/wound and

now healing? Aloe is a natural healing for wounds and also a natural

anti inflammatory(internal and external). This is why it is also so

good for the gi! These schools just get way to involved with our

kids! We shouldnt feel nervous about every little thing when sending

our kids to school(im not saying that is your situation, but they

sure are taking over the parents role)! Sorry, but I happen to just

read this post after getting off the phone with hubby and (after many

years with our older son and the schools)we have had enough! We are

actually discussing attorneys!! Never thought we would even consider

such a thing, but it has been a nightmare for our oldest(this is not

our severe disabled child). Jennie<><

This, too, happened to our son. His hands gotdry and itchy...he scratched til it bled. Our naturopath suggested an allergy to the anti-bacterial soap that many schools use. Could this be a possibility for her? Our doc said kids who are used to a more natural approach will react to the chemicals in the soap. We used olive oil (straight) and coconut oil rubbed on to help it heal up. He also doesn't wash with soap after using the bathroom.

Itching reaction

I need some help. Was gone 4 days and the DH was caretaking for our ASD

daughter. She scratched the top of her hand until very red and it looks inflamed. ( no skin broken)

He got a call from the school nurse inquiring about it, telling him what to do and

so on.................I had already spoke with him and told him to put on Neosporin.

Anyway, now the nurse is getting all involved and wants to check her hand everyday

to see if it's healing and if she should go to the pediatrician. My feeling this could of

been from either eating some tomatoes, starting her on b-complex, constipation, or just the stress

of Mommy being away. I did call the pediatrician and spoke with his nurse and she

mentioned taking an antibiotic. Have never heard of this for scratches on the skin and

Jennie - how was the wedding??

Kathy,

I'm not sure if this would be the same thing your daughter's

experiencing, but for my son, he got a red, slightly rough/raised rash

on the backs of his hands and wrists. It seemed to show up shortly

after nursery school one day and just kept getting worse. I don't

think, however, that he scratched it very much so maybe it didn't

itch? Anyway, the pediatrician said it was contact dermatitis and to

use hydrocortisone cream on it. A small amount of the cream did clear

it up and we never figured out what started it. Not sure how you feel

about hydrocortisone cream...? (BTW - are you doing LOD? could it be

related to oxalate 'dumping'?...)

whatever it is - hope it clears up soon.

Kathy,

my dd ends up in the nurses office several times a year with weird rashes, things that itch etc. This only happened after the miralax, I think this why we see so many hypersensitivity reactions from the fda, I think they become sensitive to things we would normally be able to tolerate like cleaning a desk top with 409 etc. I think it's from exposure to chemicals, my dd seems to be sensitive to the poly on the hardwood floors, right after we refinished the hardwood floor she broke out in strange rashes on the backs of her legs from sitting indian style on them and was the only one to have a reaction and it was where her legs were touching the floor. I've been in the schools and see them spraying all kinds of things on the desks, you should look into what cleaning products they are using, and in which rooms are they different? These things they come in contact with seem to irriate the skin so bad, they keep scratching and scratching, wash with a mild detergent, Dawn or

hand soap, with warm water and it should releive the itching. If not use Aveeno oatmeal packets, they tend to absorb and sooth.

Hi Jeanie, I took her to the pediatrician yesterday and she has impetigo !!!

Now, she is on Bactraban. I plan on discussing what chemicals are used in the

classroom as well though.

Thanks for your support.

The wedding was so nice!! It is gonna take a while in getting used to

my daughters new last name:) Minutes befor the ceremony started, we

was asked for the wedding license and realized we forgot it!!! Me and

my hubby was the only one that new where my daughter lives(that is

where the license was/everyone else was from out of town, not

familier with the vegas area) and I was going to have to miss the

ceremony to go get it, so upsetting! The chapel couldnt wait until we

had it and started the ceremony anyways and said it had to be there

as the wedding ended! My husband said he wasnt going to let me miss

it and said he would go. So he walked her down the isle to give her

away and left write after that to go get it! Everything worked out!

The trip was a little hard on my youngest, gi wise, but got home and

he is doing better(had to do enema...uuugh)!!! Jennie<><

Kathy,

Impetigo is is one of those terms they use like dermitis, which simple means you got into something and it irritated the skin. Isn't it funny that the one that took the miralax ALWAYS has this problem and the one that didn't NEVER has this?

I was reading about it and it seems people with impaired immune systems get this and also eczema, which she has

as well. I attribute it to vaccine damage also.
