My honey broke out in a rash really bad that we thought was excema. It looked more like a giant ring worm to me. We tried everything from changing soap to changing washing powder. He went to countless doctors and was given all kinds of medications. Finally he was put on paxil for a while for nerves. It has since cleared. It reoccurs evey now and then but is controlled with cremes like lamisil. It's a very slight rash now and not much itching. She would have to talk with a doctor of course.

Thanks for that, I have taken a note of that and will give it to her, she has also tried changing everything, even bought a new bed and mattress and a new sofa incase it was dust or something, but to no avail, it is just really wearing her down now and it has cost her a fortune at herbal doctors too. Heres hoping she can get this med and it helps:) Thanks once again.

You're very welcome I sure hope it helps. Yock was given a tub of something, I forget the name of it now. It was $60 a tube and did nothing. He's a big fellow and it took a lot. LOL
We didn't go as for as buying new bedding but I did make sure they were changed everyday. Nothing for us seemed to help but the paxil.
The more he itched, the more he worried about it and it got worse.He started swelling real bad. Like big welps all over. He wasn't on paxil long about a month I would say. It worked. I think it was about $70 per presciption. Well worth it. Benedryl is also good for itching but will make you sleepy.

Try Ca-Rezz cream.

You can buy it on-line...or if you can't wait, go to local drug store.

It is my end-all for getting my wierd rash under controll. It sooths within seconds, and with regular use, the rash stays away.

A cousin of mine read in our local paper that Lestoil is great for itching.Now i never tried it but she did and the itching stopped and her rash is gone.I wouldn't use it on a child.

Ring Worm ....
Buy a small bottle of iodine and paint all around the area,the iodine does the trick.

Thank you all so much for the advice for my mum, I have printed these off for her - she has another appointment at the doctors on Thursday so will ask about some of these, others such as aloe vera etc she will try as well. I will keep you updated on how she is, hopefully some of your advice will help her, my dad is getting sick of sleeping in the spare room LOL :)

Has your Mum started using any new products? ie miosturiser, soap, washing powder etc or has she been eating or drinking something different? or been around animals? all these things can also cause rashes & are worth looking into as a process of elimination
If it is eczema dairy products can also play a large part in flaring it up.....so it may be worth while on cutting down on dairy for a while
Hope she gets it sorted out soon
