It is called the Tree of Heaven, a highly invasive plant. You can do a search on google and look at photos to see if this is something you might have come in contact with. If it is you should go immediately to an emergency room because this is a highly poisonous plant. The rash resembles poison ivy -- only worse. The oozing pustules become patches and erode down through the layers of your skin. Even the skin around the wounds become sensitive and trying to keep bandages on it to catch the ooze is painful. I was treated with TRIPLE Antibiotics intervenously! It was my last resort as it did not clear up with any herbal, homeophathic, naturaopathic, allopathic, or over the counter products. The worst thing about it is each time you come in contact it gets worse and is harder to heal, and you can become highly allergic to it. If you want to know more I can forward info that was sent to me. Good Luck! Samantha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 - mike and amy haskett Friday, January 13, 2006 3:41 PM Rash Hi all, I have been off line now for 2 weeks. But I am back now. My dd come down with a rash on her hands on the 30th on Dec. I beleive it is due to 1 of 2 things an antibiotic she was on or a new hand sanitizer she used while at a skating rink I do have pictures posted if any one would like to help me. We have seen the Ped and dermatologist. The both arent sure Derm said he was worried about auto immune disease which I think is a far cry but was wondering if you all had any advicew hat to put on my babies hands here is the link if you would like to look thanks amy http://photobucket.com/albums/1103/chevy974/RASH/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 I can't tell from the pictures, but I do know the rash I used to get would manifest as small water blisters, then they would break and scab. If the rash is anything like that, I might be able to help. I found that reducing stress, (ok that really doesn't work, you have to change how you feel about stressers) and being more careful about the chemicals I will allow into my world is very helpful. I was to many dr's over many years. and 'diagnosed' with MANY things before they decided it was atopic dermatitis. Which in my eyes is a cop out, since dermatitis means literally anything of or about the skin. I digress. I would first try stopping the antibiotic. Then make her some soap flakes to wash her hands when she is out. Let me know if the rash is a bunch of small water blisters, and I might be able to offer some more advice.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 > here is the link if you would like to look > thanks > amy Hi Amy, I looked at the photos...and it looks similar to something I've dealt with. Do her hands look like this on the top side as well as the palm?? If so, it could be that she's cleaning her hands too much. Years ago, I went to Cosmotology school, and because of dealing with the public, and cutting hair...yada yada....I had to wash my hands alot. My hands broke out like this.....but it was on both sides of the hands. When I stopped washing my hands as often...(of course, I still washed them!) and used a good thick hand cream (non scented), my hands healed up nicely. My hands still do this from time to time....especially if I've done alot of housecleaning involving lots of water. I just treat my hands to a good hand cream for several days, and they're back to normal.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 Well the rash is not blisterd its more of a flat molted rash in some places and in larger areas clumped together in other areas. It is between her fingers and NOT on hte back of her hands. I was thinking it was from the Avagard D hand cleaner she used. It looks like it is getting better but it looks like it has dried and peeled in some areas even thought I didnt see it actually peel. I did fint the MSDS for the cleaner but it doesnt say much. I called the company and they said people have reported rash so I dont know. Also do any of you use a favorite lotion everything I look in the stores contain a bunch or CRAP I cant read lol and contain alcohol. thanks for looking amy - C.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 Osiyo John! You may want to try a CS (colloidal silver) spray on the rash. LoveBobAdageyudiStaya Udanvti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 If I had to guess, (but I am sure Doc would know better), I would guess laundry detergent. It may be a severe build up from a harsh laundry soap. In addition, the soap may not be totally washing out of the clothes. That’s the first thing I would look at anyway. herbal remedies [herbal remedies ] On Behalf Of Laura Runkle Tuesday, February 17, 2009 2:09 AM herbal remedies {Herbal Remedies} Rash I have a mild rash on my legs - small red bumps, itchy. Kind of annoying but not too bad. I can still sleep at night and ignore the rash most of the day. Every couple hours, though, the rash gets itchy enough that I can't ignore it. I don't want to take medicine, like Benedryl. I tried A & D ointment, but that didn't work. So, I tried rubbing alcohol instead. I was just trying to clear out the pores and clean the allergen (assuming that's what it is) away. So, here's where it gets weird. Using rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball to clean my legs makes the cotton ball turn blue - a dark bluish grey. It gets rid of the itch marvelously, but I can use cotton ball after cotton ball and every one turns the same weird color. I thought I'd try something else and took a hot bath in epsom salts. When I drained the bath water, there was a dark bluish grey ring left around the tub. This has never happened before; there has never been a ring of any color at all, let alone a blue one. Does anyone know what to make of this? Thank you. Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 H, Can anyone tell me if Sutherlandia OPC liquid can cause a type of rash. I have a lot of little blisters or spots on the top of my head and they only seemed to appear after I started taking it. I seemed to remember reading somewhere that it could cause a rash but I am not sure if I did or not! Does anyone have any answers or suggestions on how to get rid of it. Thanks MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Hi MM, To my knowledge, Sutherlandia OPC does not cause any type of rash. Is there something else that you introduced around the same time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
