Hi everyone,

I haven't been on for a week or so...my skin is acting up again

I'm SO tired of dealing with these sores and the scarring is getting to

me. I thought the cleanse I was on was at first making it worse, then

it got better & now it's back again. I saw a bunch of posts about skin

rashes, but I haven't found anything that works. Been on Nystatin and

was on Diflucan since 2/05 when I saw Dr. Kolb, but they never really

helped. Seems the sores start in my nose, then mouth, then to my

skin. Thinking back, the low dose steroids I was on for 6 months

helped, but gained 20lbs. in 6 months and haven't been able to get

those lbs back off yet, so not sure I want to go that route again for

both physical & cosmetic reasons. Sorry I'm rambling...just needed to

get it off my chest.

Thanks,

Cheryl

Cheryl,

I probably am asking something you already have said, but...have you seen a

rheumatologist

or dermatologist about these?

Hi Cheryl,

I’m so sorry to hear your skin problems are worse again. I wanted to let you know that it was actually low dose steroids that gave my son acne, so be careful if you decide to go that route. It had something to do with altering his hormones.

I am sorry to hear that. Your symptoms sound somewhat like lupus.

Have you been tested for that? I have been trying some new products

that I am very happy with but have been waiting to give them a fair

try before mentioning them. But it is worth a try. They are called

Miracle 2 products and they say they help with all kinds of skin

problems. You can wash anything and everything in their miracle

soap--all of you and all of your house and pets. the neutralizer is

good for all kinds of detox and skin conditions, cleaning, etc. It

is entirely organic nontoxic in and out of your body. So far I have

used it for cleaning and for bathing and washing my hair and

everything else. It makes my hair very nice and my skin soft. I

have used the neutralizer on my skin and taken internally. It

appears to be making my keratosis less noticeable. It is supposed

to be able to make them go away over time. I have just been using

internally for a week but it says people have felt it helps with all

kinds of problems. At the very least, it is a very good safe

nontoxic shampoo, body wash, cleanser, and laundry detergent. But

it may be alot more than that. I bought mine from

appleadayandbeyond.com whom I have dealt with for years. There are

other places on the internet and a better explanation of this

product. Hope you feel better soon

love, kathy

Cheryl,

Have you tried cleaning the sores with a 3% hydrogen

peroxide solution? That would kill bacteria.

Or Clay baths? That would draw toxins out of your

skin.

I'm new to this site and I don't really know the history of your

sores, but I just wanted to say that my nephew had that problem with

sores in his nose and then they started to spread and after a bunch

of tests we found out that he had strep that had turned into I

believe it was a staph infection because the strep had not been

treated. He didn't have a sore throat at all though. This may have

nothing to do with your problems, but I thought I would share

anyway. Hope it helps someone.

Cheryl,

Since you have been reimplanted, have you considered whether or

not the implants are the source of your problem? As long as you

have the implants in you, you may always be dealing with these

sores. They could be toxins trying to make their way out, but it

could also be a sign of a more serious autoimmune condition, such as

lupus. Have you been tested for this?

The fact that the steroids helped you is a clue that there is some

type of disease process going on. Prednisone is a quite toxic drug,

but it does a miraculous job of quieting down an overactive immune

system. And you are right! It packs on the pounds almost every

time. sure don't want to be on that for long.

I hope you find answers that are easy and work well. I just get

very concerned knowing that you still have those implants. Some

women can seem to tolerate them, but at what cost?

Best wishes,

Patty
