Re:Rashes like cuts made with Knife or sharp nails

[Guest guest]

This sounds somewhat like the rashes my son is getting - except they're not so big any more - and maybe not as large as what you described. But what does sound consistent is the 'knifelike' look - or scratch-like look of the rash. We showed these to our DAN! and she thought that it might be the Varicella virus coming out. Apparently what we think of as shingles (in adults) is a form of the varicella virus - which was probably part of a vaccination. She was guessing at this - but I thought it was interesting. We started seeing these about two weeks into the valtrex - but we are doing natural antifungals - so no diflucan. I hope this is helpful. __________________________________________________

Thanks for your reply, atleast it seems like its something we

should be expecting to see with regards to Rash.

We are into fourth day of Valtrex and 9th day of Diflucan, we should

be getting nasal B-12 this week. Today again in the shower we noticed

two different types of rashes. One was again a knife like but only

couple of inches long on his left leg. Another was on his upper left

arm, it was like light red/pink in color about 1/2 inch big but not

at all knife life. This one is similar to some of the pics on the

Photos link. We also saw a rash on his cheeks. Also my son is

scratching himself more on his body.

I am curious as to whether we should be seeing these rashes so early

in the treatment. Also is it absolutely necessary to do B-12 spray

alongwith medication. I am concerned that since we will be 4-5 days

behind on giving B-12, that it may not have a negative impact.

We are hoping that whatever viruses are in his body, we can get rid

of them, so that we can give him a chance to make positive progress.

Regards,

Raj
