Unlike the calamine lotion people use, which just helps the itches., the

cider vinegar actually kills the stuff. Or, cures it - however you want

to say it...........We lived in the country, so I've seen many a case of

poison whatever...........Plus, people usually have it in their home. No

need to buy anything else. So, your doc was not correct when he told you

the PPP is the only thing - and your skin doesn't have to turn black.

And, it doesn't sting much as long as one adds a bit of water. A 50/50

ratio works real well.

Potassium Permanganate (also

known as horses " purple medicine " ) Potash cures Poison Oak or

Ivy. Get it from the vet. Put it on your skin and it turns

your skin black -- but that's the last of the Oak or Ivy. Be sure

and have a fan blowing on you when you put it on the spots that are

seeping, because it does burn for a little bit. My doctor told me

(way back in the 60's) that this was the only thing that would CURE

this.

I used Calamine Lotion recently on a patient and it cured the excoriation overnight - he supplied ii and it dried non greasy so I could still stick the dressing on the skin - I was rapt - didn't know it was still available - but thanks for the cider vinegar tip - but I wonder if it will still work if the origin is Candida type of rash possibility

I do know that it will cure any rash one gets from poisons such as

poison oak, ivy and so on. Whether it will cure a yeast-based rash, I

don't know. But, if other things aren't working so well, it couldn't hurt

to give it a shot. Or, if whatever one tries is taking a long time to

heal. It's been a long time since I studied the chemistry of poisons and

such. The poison oaks and the rest, though, have a sort of oil, which is

how it can transmit from, say, the hair of a dog who has brushed against

it. Obviosly, the vinegar would be acidy. If the Candida yeast is not,

perhaps the vinegar will neutralize it. I'm guessing, although I don't

know for sure, that that may be part of the reason why it works on the

poisons. But, it is always apple cider vinegar that is specified. No

other type. Not sure why, but I've seen a lot of remedies with apple

cider vinegar. Especially older ones, or ones from a country

doctor.

I mentioned I dated a dermatologist - when I asked him if it worked, he

said it did. then, I asked him why they don't tell people about it. He

told me, if they did, people wouldn't come to see him and other docs for

things like that.........
