Guest guest Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 Hi all, I posted some pics in the photo section, under CHris Kelly.....these are pics of my 13 YO son. These bumps came up from nowhere, and have now spread. I have never seen poison ivy, sumac etc....so am not even sure that this is what it is. Hubby lost his job and insurance on 6/30, so Dr visit is not doable right now I first started him with Emu combined with Bulg Lav and Tea Tree. I am giving him Benadryl by mouth to help with the itching as well. Today I went to the *laboratory* and whipped up a balm of sorts using Aloe butter, shea butter, Emu oil, a bit of Squalene and an essential oil blend of maybe 7 diff oils......my notes are at the shop.....and I am brain dead! LOL Here is the strange thing......I have a customer/buddy that is a wonderful 85 YO woman. 2 days ago she went to the Dr because of a bump on her chest. She has had shingles in the past and thought that was what she was dealing with again. The Dr told her it was a bug bite! As you can guess, she is now covered in almost the same areas as Matthew is.....except she doesn't have any on her legs. She is going to try to get into that *quack* again tomorrow to see what he has to say about all of those bug bites <G> So/.....if anyone who has seen poison ivy etc could look at the pics and tell me if that is what it looks like, I'd be grateful! Also.....is it catching? Hubby & I don't have any problems at all. Thanks all! Chris Kelly Website updated weekly!

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 I think it looks like chicken pox or shingles. I have heard of people getting chicken pox more than once in a lifetime. Shingles are just another form of chicken pox. Try an oatmeal bath for the itching.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 I agree it does look like shingles, and the bigger ones look like chicken pox.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 We though that maybe my hubby had shingles going on, and it turned out to be scabies! I guess I'm scabie phobic right now *lol* I hope you get to the root of the problem! Good luck, feel better .. don't let the bed bugs bite *Cheers* Chris (list mom) http://www.alittleolfactory.com Rahnny [Rahn68] I agree it does look like shingles, and the bigger ones look like chicken pox.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 Honey, If it's shingles you'll know! My son had shingles this last year. Someone came to school with chicken pox and none of my kids, since they had never gone to day care have ever had chicken pox. DD got chicken pox ( a really good case) but my son had shingles. Man it was very painful and I understand the older you are the worse they can be. Be careful, is there a community doctor, or maybe a health center you could go to and find out for sure. Shingles are dangerous as well as painful. Take care dear sindy Re: Need help identifying I agree it does look like shingles, and the bigger ones look like chicken pox.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 I think it looks like chicken pox too- if you can't get to the Dr. or the call and see if chicken pox is going around- chances are if your son and the lady has this rash somethings going around town, it may help you know what your dealing with. I do know people who had chicken pox twice. good luck Gea > > > I think it looks like chicken pox or shingles. I have heard of > people getting chicken pox more than once in a lifetime.
