Hello...

Just wondering if anyone else has had this and if so...did anything help?

I've had it for a few weeks and it's so beyond annoying. My Dr prescribed erythromycin 4 times a day for 2 weeks as it helps some cases of this ugly rash. But I can't even imagine what it would do to my gut so I haven't done that.

Any help or thoughts is appreciated as always!

According to the Mayo Clinic it is thought to be viral, in which case antibiotics won't work. They also say it usually goes away by itself in about ten weeks. Open Original Shared Link

I would avoid the antibiotics unless your doctor knows for sure that it is from bacteria! Sounds like no one knows the cause.

I looked it up and I would have to say that I had this once (about 20 years ago). My GP thought I was reacting to a new brand of supplements. It went away in a month or two. in any case, I ditched that brand of supplements. It was winter, so there was no need for me to wear a bikini!

Thanks ladies. It is indeed thought to be viral. My Dr sent in the prescription and I got a call from my pharmacy that they don't carry it. Felt like it was a sign for sure.

I've read that UV therapy can help. So I've been sitting out back with my shirt hiked up to my bra line and my shorts pulled down to my bikini line since I don't own a 2 piece. I can't even imagine how I look! Lol!

But it is quite irritating. You would think with our super immune systems that maybe we wouldn't get viruses?

Thanks so much Miss Eloise! Can't believe you had this too! I'm doing the sun and vitamins and just hoping it goes away soon.

Thanks Eloise! I'm actually all grown with children of my own, but my husband has helped. I hope you are feeling better.

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?
