Dear Kim and Group,

Thanks for the completed Questionnaire. I am posting it below and

adding it to our Member Medical History Files on the Group site. YOu

are now approved for full EN Group privileges.

Sometimes a bacteria or fungus can cause EN, so it is possible that

your daughter was infected from the jellyfish bite, or walking on the

shells. It is unusual to get EN on the bottom of the foot, but it is a

variation I am aware of. The strep test is one of the first tests to

get as strep is a very common cause of EN especially (since no drugs

or hormones were involved in your daughters case.) Keep us posted on

what the tests show and how your daughter is doing.

Love,

**************

She's got red bumps/patches on her left foot ..mostly the bottom or

on the side of her instep. She says they hurt and it's hard to walk

with them. The one on the instep is pretty pronounced. Her foot is

very sensitive to the touch and she likes when I put Biofreeze on

it ..has a cooling effect. It was recommended that we use Benedryl

but she said that didn't do anything.

7. List any other health conditions your daughter has

followed for.

no meds

She was at the beach a little over a week ago and was stung by a

jelly fish on the inside of her right thigh. She said she did step

on some old muscle shells on the beach but there isn't anything on

the other foot. The diagnosis was from yesterday ..well the doctor

is suspecting this. He took a strep culture and ran some labs and

also was given a ppd shot.

Hi ..thank you for all the warm welcomes!

I'm not really sure at this point if it is in fact EN that my

daughter has! The bumps/marks are fading pretty quick ..still some

pain, not nearly as much though. Her feet look almost normal except

for the one bump on the side of her instep.

Used Hydrocortisone cream last night on her foot for first

time ..didn't get a chance to look this morning how things were.

She did say the Motrin I was giving her helped ...and she only gets

that in the morning. I know she's moving around alot better also. I

also gave her some Apis (homeopathic remedy) and hoping helped.

I've had great success with homeopathic remedies for many

things ..so hoping can nail this one too!

I'll remain with the group for awhile if that's okay ...sure is a

nice bunch!

Kim
