was : Help odd rash Now: folliculitis

[Guest guest]

Ok two docs looked at him to be sure, and it's folliculitis.

So they prescribed him Keflex (allergic to `cillins) 2x a day for 10

days. I am not thrilled. He's already yeasty and with that it'll get

worse.

We were supposed to do a round this weekend too. They told me to

call back if he gets yeasty and they will give him diflucan. (if?

It's more like when)

They said since often times folliculitis is a result of skin

bacterias like staph they treat it systemically. So I am unsure if

treating this topically would be a good idea.

Has anyone treated this without script antibiotics. He's already on

GSE and probiotics, which we had jacked up before seeing the doc.

Hi, Jan. Just thinking out loud here, do you think GSE and

probiotics could make a bacteria problem worse? It seemed that when

I gave GSE too long, I had to give things like OLE and Goldenseal for

bacteria. It didn't mean there was no more yeast, I just had to

target baceria.

....don't want to mess with staph infections.

Good luck.

They didn't say it was staff, just thought it was regular skin

bacteria along with the fact that it was in an abrasive area of the

body, where his legs rub, so combine with the head, sweat, rubbing,

which clogged up the pores, and them normal skin bacteria...wahlah

infection.

We have all been using GSE for over a year, off an on, but don't

seem to find much bacteria issues as long as we use probiotics and

only give GSE when yeast is present.

The mention of staph was just a mention that they wanted to do

antibiotics as a precaution just in case it was a more serious skin

bacteria like staff.

I think this whole deal might be due to the heat wave we had and the

fact that my son did have yeast there and was itching for a while,

along with his never wearing underwear. (a lot of abrasion there)

I am going to check into that though. I can't give him OLE it makes

his yeast worse and makes him VERY nasty cranky. I will have to see

what other antibacterials we could try, once we get through this

antibiotic round. Grr...always something!

I use olive leaf extract and Virastop enzyme for both viral issues and

bacterial issues.
