Guest guest Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 about a month ago i had a bad itchy rash under my breast also, ended up going to kaiser after trying coconut oil and tea tree oil (ouch!). i used an otc anti itch cream (lanacane) the first nite i had it. the kaiser doc prescribed nystatin powder to use twice daily. it healed it very quickly. i still use it every few days, alternating with another body powder. in general i've found coconut oil and/or tea tree oil help with itching to some extent. i've also learned to try to ignore itching on some parts of my body because if i scratch it just makes it way worse. easier said than done of course! good luck, susan > > I am at my wits end in terms of dealing with the itching that seems to worsen at night and subsides around 2 AM.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 Yes, any form of fungus on skin respond to topical therapy but only temporary. Try to get the area dry. I believe the strongest natural antifungal for topic use is Oregano Oil. GSE can also give gut results. The oregano oil must be diluted in some baby oil to avoid burning on the skin. GSE also need to be diluted in water. There are many things like violet gentian, tea tree oil, coconot oil, c. silver, sodium bicarbonate, boric acid, etc. . > > > > I am at my wits end in terms of dealing with the itching that seems to worsen at night and subsides around 2 AM.

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 ok, I have a confession, I decided that today would be my day to wean off of the diet- until I read this subject title- I thought the itching under my breast was my imagination, now I know it's not and I have to be more strict than ever- may I ask how long this itching has taken place? > > I am at my wits end in terms of dealing with the itching that seems to worsen at night and subsides around 2 AM.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 I believe the itching to be the result of your liver's activity (its greatest activity is from 1 am to 3 am per TCM rules). As it is attempting to deal with detoxification, there being too much to do, it pushes toxins out to the lymphatic fluids and therefore to the skin. The only logical pathway to success I would see is liver cleansing and SBO supplementation for the intestinal revival. So that would also mean using zeolite to try and mop up any heavy metal toxins that are challenging the liver. http://www.life-enthusiast.com > > > > I am at my wits end in terms of dealing with the itching that seems to worsen at night and subsides around 2 AM.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Rash there is most likely topical infection, and as I suggested to Carolyn, ozonated olive oil kills any surface bloom without exception. all good, Duncan > > > > > > I am at my wits end in terms of dealing with the itching that seems to worsen at night and subsides around 2 AM.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Hi , Thanks for your response. I am really confused regarding the itching that I have. It is not constant. It is not daily. I can go for days and nothing happens. I noticed the area was red, as if inflamed. I applied a mixture of Neem Oil, Oregano Oil and Olive Oil (my own concoction). It felt better afterwards. The one thing that made the redness and itching disappear was Benadryl ointment. So, I am not sure what's the deal. I am doing the Flor-Essence Gentle Detox (have been doing that for months). I am taking Milk Thistle as well. I might inquire into the Renew Life Liver Detox to see if my liver needs additional support. I stopped the anti-fungals to give my liver a rest. That might contribute to the infrequent itching.....but when it itches, it is very annoying. Again, thanks so very much for your wise words and support. Kind Regards, Carolyn > > > > > > I am at my wits end in terms of dealing with the itching that seems to worsen at night and subsides around 2 AM.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Carolyn, do you take bentonite clay? It's supposed to absorb die-off toxins and I do think it helps. I saw an improvement in my skin problems when I started it.   Also hot baths or saunas help. Oh, and a naturopath suggested putting baking soda in the bath water...I add both epsom salts and baking soda, not a whole lot, and this definitely helps excrete toxins for me.  I notice it right away.     From: fan <kateri222@...> Subject: Re: Suggestions Needed - Dry Skin, Buttock Itching, Rash under Breast ® candidiasis Date: Sunday, April 11, 2010, 3:51 PM  ok, I have a confession, I decided that today would be my day to wean off of the diet- until I read this subject title- I thought the itching under my breast was my imagination, now I know it's not and I have to be more strict than ever- may I ask how long this itching has taken place? > > I am at my wits end in terms of dealing with the itching that seems to worsen at night and subsides around 2 AM.
