Diagnosis--Rashes
My son used to get rashes when
he was young. I called the local
well-respected dermotologist but it took him sometime to get back to
me.
I made another appointment with the local pediatrician. Just
before our appointment the dermotologist called and
I asked him if he
thought it could be from the antibiotic treatment my son had just
finished for something else.
He said for sure it could be from that.
When I asked the pediatrician he said they just didn't know what rashes
came
from and he didn't think it could be from the antibiotics. As I
saw with my son it was usually some kind of food
allergy. The first
time it was mushrooms, he was under one year old them. Another time it
was from strawberries. He
grew out of the rash stage as he grew older.
Another rash story. I got a rash recently and it kept getting
worse.
The Kaiser doctor didn't know what it was from and gave me ointment and
some anti-fungal/anti-itching.
It didn't work. Then I went to a
naturopath that has done some good for me in the past. He wasn't sure
what
it was either. He even did some extensive food allergy testing. I
finally went to my doctor. He
diagnosed too much sugar--a candida type diet
and an anti-fungal Diflucan. I couldn't have any sugars for one
month.
That worked;the rash finally went away
Moral of the story--Sometimes you just have to shop around.
