Re: rash on butt, any ideas?

[Guest guest]

I just spoke to Dr Krigsman and he told me that my son's cold could be making

his colitis flare up and also could cause an acidic environment in the poop.

I had no idea about that. He says that mANY people with colitis, crohns have

problems when they get colds.He suggested a cream with hydrocortizone for a

couple of days.

My daughter is 9 yrs. old and has had a rash off and on like that since she

was a baby. I feel it comes from all the food allergies. She seems to have

it more when she eats tomatoes. It can also come from constipation which

causes a back-up and more bacteria problems. If they stay regular it

doesn't seem to be as prevalent. My daughter started Sulfazalazine about

two weeks ago and her rash seems better! She is always red in between her

legs though. I feel like that comes from all the problems with yeast too.

I used to use a product that you can order from the pharmacy (no

prescription needed) called " calmoseptine " and it is much better than any

OTC rash cream you can buy. You may want to cut out the tomato products for

a few weeks and see if it gets better.

Good luck!

I don't know if the rashes are the same, but breaks out on her

bottom too and it had spread up her tummy and down her legs pre-SCD.

Her rash can also turn into some nasty boils. I have been looking around

trying to figure this out as it's a common problem with DS AND lichen

sclerorus which is an auto-immune problem that is exacerbated by yeast.

When she was first dx with the LS she had this rash and the

dermatologist said it was folliculitis. So.. In reading on boils come to

find out that it can start out as folliculitis and progress to a boil.

Folliculitis can be caused by YEAST, which also makes sense cause it

normally heralds a flare of the LS too.

To read more, follow the link on top and check out both boils and

folliculitis.

I have been following their recommendations and so far so good! Course

keeping the yeast under control works the best, but sometimes due to

circumstances beyond my control, it gets the upper hand.

My kiddo stayed this way from 6 months old until last week - hers was yeast,

when you say it's pimply, somewhat raised, and it's red and burns like the

dickens, I would think yeast. It could be an allergy to food, but for my kiddo

it was yeast all 1683 times.

rash on butt, any ideas?

My son has been on SCD for about a month now. He is doing well. He is eating

great, happy, calm and we finally have solid poops. But this morning he pooped

in his pants while sleeping (he has a cold and isn't feeling well. doesn't

usually have accidents) When I changed him I saw that he has a terrible rash

all

over the are. red, itchy, pimpley and veryinflamed. I've never seen this on

him before. He is taking sulfasalazine.He eats hamburger, homemade hotdogs,

chicken,squash chips, carrot chips, green beans,one apple a day, a tiny bit of

macnut butter. Any ideas what could cause this rash? Is it just irritated from

the poop or could there be yeast in the poop? could he be eating too many

acidic foods? (loves homemade ketchup) I would appreciate any help. thanks.

Hi ,

Until his bm's clear up it might be a good idea to give him more basic foods for

a few days. So that would mean peeling and cooking the apple - baked or

applesauce. (That's if you are giving it to him raw now) and probably leave out

the carrot chips also. Of course chicken soup is wonderfully healing if he'll

eat it

When my kids have a rash I give them either a baking soda bath or an epsom salt

bath. If it is really bad I put a little zinc oxide cream on it (don't know if

you can use that).

I hope he is feeling better soon.
