I have a skin condition that I need an answer for.?

Hi Richard

Here are some remedies to help you. Most issues (90%) are usually internel. The body is in a toxic state at some level currently and its telling you to clean your system (eat healthy, exercise, less stress, ect). The best way to clean the blood is a colon and liver cleanse. Must get new blood into the area of illness or disease. In this case, your legs.

Cause

Inflammation is often caused by an abrasion of the clothing, bites of poisonous insects, bumping, shingles, welts, by an acid condition of the body affecting the nervous system, or from an internal acid condition of the urine or the orifice of the genital area.

Herbal Aids

1.General Instructions: This condition must be aided instead of inhibited. If the process is stopped it can be compared to putting the cork on the poison bottle. When inflammation is accompanied by blood poisoning use plantain to purge the poisons from the body. If inflammation is caused by a rheumatoid or arthritic condition, either burdock leaves or mullein in combination with lobelia will facilitate cleansing.

2.Lumbago - Inflammation of the Lumbar Muscles: Lumbago is one of the most painful conditions. The use of vapor baths and the cold sheet treatment will bring relief. A massage with a tincture of cayenne and prickly ash liniment with antispasmodic tincture will work very well. The eliminative functions should be corrected, especially the bowels which need to be cleaned during attacks. Garlic and lobelia enemas work well.

3.Burdock: Large sores, skin diseases, inflammation, swelling. Apply a hot fomentation of the tea to the affected part, cover with plastic or oil silk to prevent evaporation and bandage; leave on until almost dry, then cleanse the area and make another application; repeat until healed.

4.Chaparral: Old sores, inflammation. Apply a hot fomentation of the infusion.

5.Sciatica and Inward Inflammation: See formula using oil of sassafras, oil of rosemary, oil of oregano, cayenne, camphor and rubbing alcohol.

6.Yellow Dock: Apply a fomentation over the affected part that is wrung out from the strong decoction of hot tea.

7.Red Oak: Use the decoction as a wash, and bathe 3-4 times daily (dilute for open sores); also a fomentation may be wrapped around the affected part and covered well with flannel.

8.Witch Hazel: Apply as a poultice, fomentation, or wash.

9.Comfrey: Inflammation, bruises, sprains, swellings, suppuration of boils. Apply a fomentation made from the comfrey root or leaves.

10.Lobelia: When there is acute swelling, such as with boils or inflammation, an external rub of the tincture or a poultice of the bruised herb mixed with flaxseed or bran, suitably moistened, will relieve the pain.

11.Myrrh: Applied to fresh wounds, the tincture of Myrrh excites healing action and lessens the liability to inflammation or suppuration.

12.Marshmallow: The herb has been in use long among the Arabs, the ancient Arab physicians using the leaves as a poultice to suppress inflammation, the modern using them the same, chewing the stems well and applying the pulp, well-mixed with saliva and still warm from the mouth, to inflamed parts of the skin and to sores and swellings.

13.Burdock: Burdock is well-known world wide as a blood purifying agent and if the leaves are pounded and put on the bruise, abrasion, sprain, etc., it will allay inflammation and ease the pain.

Best of health to you.

Cheers

I'm not a big fan of taking your pet to the vet every time it sneezes, after all it really is NOT a child, but a skin condition like you describe could easily be mange or a similar condition which if not treated can get worse really fast and could possibly be contagious to your other pet. The fact that you have seen some improvement makes it very unlikely that it is mange, oatmeal shampoo wouldn't really help that. In your situation I would try Betadine (an antibacterial cleanser), or bag balm (also marketed as veterinary balm) which is really good at moisturizing and encouraging healing, but if you don't see a lot of improvement soon a trip to the vet would probably be a good idea.

If its on the back of your knees you mean it's highly likely you have eczema especially if it itches. If not you probably have a really bad skin infection and need to take your antibiotics for longer and maybe on a higher dosage definetly schedule a doctor appt, skin infections can enter your blood stream and kill u if they grow deep enough

If it were allergies or eczema which is an allergic condition which my 4 year old has really bad....you could try taking an anti-histamine like benadryl and see what happens and apply the anti-itch spray also by benadryl. if it doesnt clear up then it is an infection. If it clears up the start using claritin which is over the counter and found in drugstores.

sounds like a staf infections. me and both of my roommates have it. Its highly contagious. There will be a small sore come up and stay for a week or two then go away on its own. there is a med that one of my roommates got that we all take. (She told her dr that 2 other people in the house had it so he gave her extra refills) You have to keep them dry and clean. Wash your blankets and sheets like 2 to 3 times a week to keep it from spreading. And be careful that other people in your house dont touch it directly or anything that you touch. I'm telling you it is so hard to get rid of.

Maybe some sort of staff infection (think it is spelled wrong, but sounds the same). You should see a Dr to get checked and a medication before it becomes worse. Okay I found a website for you and I did spell it wrong its staph here is the website http://www.webmd.com/content/article/100/105485.ht...
