Grandson Gets Unknown Rash On Entire Body
My grandson gets a rash when he gets hot. It starts at wrists and ankles, like a bracelet, and proceeds up his arms/legs until it covers his trunk and face. Itchy and red, hot to the touch. We put coconut oil on it but, if it gets too bad, he gets a dose of benadryl to calm it down. Any suggestions on what we should do to prevent or treat once it starts? There is no common denominator as to food/illness/ detergent or anything that we can change.

Dear Namaw,
How old is your grandson? How often does this happen? Has he seen a pediatrician about it?
I have seen Nettles help immensely for allergy related rashes. Since Benadryl seems to help, it seems like Nettles could be a solution. Taken over a period of time, Nettles seemed to cure on of my children of his allergies.

This is similar to some cases of Morgellon's Syndrome. The etiology of this syndrome remains in debate, but IMHO the clearest cause is exposure to microscopic fibers from fiberglass filters used in air units for "purification".
I would suggest discontinuing those cheap fiberglass filters and use a more sturdy replacement like a "permanent" or "reusable" fiberglass filter. If you see no improvements w/ this filter drop it as well as any fiberglass type and use HEPA, or filterless units like Negative Ion or Ozone Purifiers or Generators.
Oral Zinc & Vit-A supplementation in combination w/ MTM's Nettles suggestion will prove much more effective in relieving symptoms.
A hot bath w/ 1/4 cup Epsom Salts and 1/4 cup Baking soda for 30 min -to- 1 hr will detox the body of any inorganic particulates like supposed fiberglass.

Hello Namaw
Re; your grandson's rashes
When ever I hear a description of a mystery disease before I go off in all directions I ask to eliminate the "usual suspects"....virus and other pathogens.
If mine I'd administer Colloidal Silver twice daily...quantity adjusted for age. If in a week the rashes are reduced, then the problem just might be a specialty virus.
BTW...when did he start this rash problem? If from birth that is one thing but if at a certain time of onset, think carefully what was going on that might have caused it? I always ask if a very significant infection immediately preceded the onset. If so, then the odds are increased that the culprit is a virus.
