Mysterious Burning and Spreading Rash Doctors Can't Diagnose

Posted by Jose (Hermanus, South Africa) on 03/24/2021

Please help. What could this be, my doctor has no idea. She did a broad spectrum blood test and it came back clear. I did an antibiotic course, used anti bacterial and anti fungal creams, including African Potato cream.

It started beginning of Feb on one side with a small red spot. It is now much bigger, on both hips, slowly getting bigger and now has a burning sensation. No visible insect bite marks. My shoulder and hip joints ache, especially at night.

I have no fever and don't feel sick but I definitely do not feel 100 percent myself. No one seems to know what this could be.

Jose,

Have you tried Clotrimazole 1% to see if it is fungal in nature?

Did you get Lyme test?

Did they give you doxycycline?

Allergy testing?

You could try lugols iodine, it's very effective at many things and is often overlooked for skin conditions but I have used it to clear different skin maladies.

Have you traveled?

Changed your foods in the past couple months?

Try and think if there is anything that you may have missed that might be cause. Simple things like laundry detergent can be culprit.

Please try Castor Oil Packs. You can google the things you will need. I read that Castor Oil Packs call forth T11 Leukocytes to the area to help heal. Good luck! Seriously, try it.

Hi Jose, I know from experience about an apparent rash (looks just like yours) that forms on our bodies where sweating and prolonged dampness occurs --areas such as your image shows, beneath the breasts, armpits, behind the knees --and none of the usual remedies helps and the rash spreads and deepens. The cure for my own rash was that slimy juice from the comfrey leaf-stalk, applied before bed for a week. I saw improvement in 24 hours and continued the juice-application every night until the rash was no longer burning nor itching. The area remained faintly pink for months but the itchiness and burning was gone for good. I believe Comfrey grows abundantly in South Africa. BTW, based upon my own experience the so-common use of blood-tests today for medical diagnosis is fraught with calamity.

By any chance did you get the Covid “ vaccination”? I have read of a lot of people having rashes afterward.

My hubby had a really bad burning rash spread all over his back. I stood him in the shower and used a spray bottle filled with half filtered water and half organic apple cider vinegar. It stung like crazy at first. Let it dry and repeat as needed. Got rid of it! He had tried everything else to no avail. A friend of his had the same thing and tried everything the doctor gave him. ACV worked...much to his amazement!

Shingles?

I would use the same treatment they use for babies with diaper rash which is zinc ointment. Zinc ointment is very gentle and is very good for most skin conditions. Zinc is also a an antiviral.

It wouldn't hurt to take a zinc tablet internally, but if you do you should also take a copper tablet. I.e. 1 x 50 mg zinc and 1 x 2mg copper.

I hope this is of help to you.

Try a 20% zinc oxide ointment for its antiparasitic effect. Zinc deficiency is known to impair the body's immune response against parasites. It is possible your rash is due to parasites in the skin.

Check your detergent that you wash your clothes in. I had an unexplainable rash that would not go away and was making me feel sick. When I sweated when working it really got worse. I got rid of my detergent and got a natural hypoallergenic clothes detergent and the rash went away and I feel much better. Don't use more detergent than needed.

I had a reaction to antibiotics that was like a serve sunburn all over my body. It did not go away. I tried so many things. What relieved it finally, after 3 months of suffering, was charcoal capsules. I took 6 - 450 mg activated charcoal capsules in one dose and started feeling better the next day!

I took that for about 5 days.

Make sure you drink enough water and follow directions on bottle (if you take medicine and supplements take them 2 hours before or after).

I hope you get relief!

Back in 2010, I had itching forearms and ankles after meals for years until I started taking a couple of 650 mg nopal leaf prickly pear "opuntia ficus indica" cactus capsules after each meal. The after-meal itching was gone in two days. Now I just take 1/2 level measuring teaspoon of nopal leaf powder. Last Fall, I ordered two, one pound bags of NBF (Natura Bio Foods) nopal on Amazon. It's from Mexico. SwansonVitamins and PipingRock have the 650 mg nopal capsules.

For your rash, my first thought was that you could try the taking amino acid, L-lysine powder in water. I just started taking lysine for Covid protection like the doctor group in the Dominican Republic. They recommend 2 to 4 grams per day:

http://freedombunker.com/2021/02/17/virologists-report-poor-mans-amino-acid-cure-for-covid-19-would-abolish-need-for-vaccines/

Then I read about someone getting rid of a plantar wart in a few weeks by taking lysine. I need to get rid of some warts, myself.

So I bought a kilo of Hard Rhino lysine powder on Amazon for about $17. At what I think is about 10 grams per day, I am taking a slightly rounded measuring teaspoon 4 times per day which is every 6 hours. I like taking a dose at the easy to remember hours of 12 and 6, AM & PM, plus or minus two hours. So the time windows are 10 to 2 (AM & PM), and 4 to 8 (AM & PM).

Good luck with your skin condition.

Thanks,

Tom

Hi, I had the same rash after too many courses of antibiotics for a sinus infection.

Had to attack internally with ingestible turpentine - Georgia pine oil I tablespoon castor oil mixed with 1 teaspoon turpentine BUT start with 1/4 teaspoon and worked your way up. Take daily until the rash goes away.

Externally spray rash several times daily with apple cider vinegar. Stings a bit at first but stops the burning and itching quickly. Stay away from anything with sugar and all processed white flour and white grains. I believe like me you have a Candida rash. I had it for 5 years and tried literally everything, including seeing 14 doctors. Once I started on the turpentine it was gone in 3 weeks. I still take once a month for maintenance.

The tree Pau de Arco Is excellent to treat skin. This includes fungal infections in the skin. Just boil an ounce of Pau de Arco in four cups of water (filtered is better because it eliminates the chlorine) and with a cotton ball wash gently the affected skin. Do not use harsh soaps, nor creams. If the area feels dry, apply, after washing with the Pau de Arco, some organic castor oil. Hope it helps.
