Guest guest Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 thanks, Joy, you've given me lots of ammo to work with. Trial and error and my dr is going along with it.

Nothing worked. Still do have some rashes and Celastane (cortisone) has been the only one so far that has worked & sometimes use neem oil; for sores (with infx mostly) a bit of colloidal silver helps. Vinegar - any will do but I keep a stock of white on hand always for cleaning neb; is good straight if been in the garden - depends on your tolerance, will sting a minute, but no more itching works for me! Diluted cider vinegar is good as skin/hair rinse after showering, also as drink first thing. If the rash is fungal anything antibacterial eg alcohol-based, even vinegar [i think] will make it worse. I used to use aloe vera and tea tree oil but they're too strong now. Always having to change the game plan! makes life interesting lol ? At the moment I have some contact dermatitis from sports strapping, and use tiger balm to ease the aggravation - stings like hell for 2-3 mins, then 2-3 hours peace... Also works for sandfly, mosquito, leech bites etc (or whatever bities in your neck of the woods!). cheers Joy Consumer Representative Respiratory Diseases Clinical Practice Improvement Networks Qld endiandralizzy.au Hotmail: Trusted email with Microsoft’s powerful SPAM protection.
