pickles · Jul 2, 2014

From an earlyer post some of you have seen, you know I have been battling these for a while.
I see the dermatologist again tomorrow, buit still no real asnwers except something auto-immune.
It has been almost a year now, and Im tired of not having any real answers or results.
Now I know none here are drs.

but maby some one has seen this before, and Im looking for any help in understanding what is causing these sores.

So Im posting a few photos in hope.

No need to worry if you are just guessing, Im just looking for any ideas to set before my dr.
Thankyou for any help.

Hope I got this right

God bless

Hi Pickles - a few questions...
a. Does it itch.
b. Does is dry up and form a scaly or dry layer?
c. Where about are they located? Legs, arms?

This looks to me like Pustular Psoriasis. Having been a sufferer of Plaque Psoriasis from the age of 20 I have done an indept study of the condition. As your Dermatologist if this is a possibility. If its the case... then I'll suggest a few things. This helped me tremendously.

Now I was covered wit Psoriasis plaques on my knees down to my ankles, my lower back, I had spots on my scalp and my elbows and arms were covered. In Tropical weather it was torture, because when everyone else wore as little as possible, I was covered in jeans and long sleeves.

Now at 38 I have maybe one or two lesions, and I can quite confidently face the world. To know what to do, you need to understand the condition - so take care to talk to your Dermatologist for confirmation.

But it helped me to change my entire diet. One of the basic functions of Protein in the body is maintaining tissues and building new cells.

What is Psoriasis: The immune system programs the white blood cells that protect the body from infection. In psoriasis, T lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell) abnormally trigger inflammation in the skin. These T cells also cause skin cells to grow faster than normal and to pile up in raised plaques on the outer surface of the skin.

Now with the T-Cell generation, protein in my opinion boosts it. I replaced my meat proteins with Soya, Lentils etc. Within 6 months of changing my diet my psoriasis was so to say gone.

Chat to your doctor, he may be able to refer you to a dietician, if not I'm happy to share my Diet with you

Thankyou potterclay!
This has been suggested as a possibuility, the sores for now areon my legs, feet, hands, arms and a bit on the stummick.
Ive had an elevated white cell count for years, to the point where the drs did a genetic test for a rare leukimia, came back negative, thankfully.

But my counts continue to remain high.
I have been changing my diet dramatically, eating alot less meat and getting my protiens with more legumes.
So hopefully going in the right direction.
I understand about the clothing, it was 95 today and still wearing long pants, ect.. so I sympathise with you on this.
All I can conclude right now is there is something in my life, wether food or contact, ie garden, ect, that continues to cause extream inflamation.
I guess another visit to the allergist may be a good idea, as in the last month I have developed vertigo as well.
Just pray I will find the answers.

Thankyou so much for your help, I will definatly bring this up tomorrow.
And yes they do itch,build up, dry, more when it is hot, but I have found garlic and mullin oil is very soothing and effective for the itching.

Hugs and God bless

Thanks so much for the pictures, it can help me direct my prayers for you. I am surrounding your sores with the healing power of the Lord.

For me, it was blood circulation that was behind the sores, and anything that helped oxygen filled blood supply to the sores was the answer. At home I found a vibrator that helped. My doctor says it doesn't work, and I found it helped a lot, but most vibrators won't work. Here is the only one that works, but it is so old that only my daughter with her knowledge of wiring can keep it going. Panasonic Panabrator II EV221 Matsushita Electric Works Full Body Massager - Electrical Cables - Amazon.com

I have no ability to understand all doctors understand, but the doctor who I finally found that could help had a machine that tested how much oxygen was getting to the cells around my sores. It was based on this reading that I finally got help.

For me, it was only through helping oxygen supply to the sores that worked, and they used a hyperbaric oxygen chamber for that. It took 45 days, 2 hours a day at $50 an hour to cure the sores.

I am maintaining through special stocking knit in Germany to my measurments, and so strong that it takes a long time to get them on in the mornings, and a special lemon and ginger drink I do every day. I process lemons, skin seeds and all in a vitamix. I feeze it and have 2 Tbs. a day. A chemical in the peel works on strengthening the veins so blood supply is improved.

P.S. I doubt the cause of your sores and mine is the same, it is just something to ask your doctor.

Here is something I use for everything, although I don't need the actual physical shawl any more but the things the shawl taught me about the power of the Lord.

It is a prayer shawl that has been especially blessed. The shawl itself is of wool the finest wool, direct from how the Lord supplies our needs with what He gives us. It is very beautiful as all things God gives us has beauty in the broadest sense. On the corners are tassels, and you need to do a search on tassels to see what they represent of God. In the middle of the tassel is a blue thread, representing the blue that royalty wore. What it personally means to me is that I am God's child, and royal as belonging to God. In the middle, on the top, are words in Hebrew, and I am sorry but I am not knowledgeable enough to know what they actually say, but to me they say I love the One true God with all my heart.

No one who is not Christian ever gets to even see my shawl, and only one other person has ever had it on when she was in deep need and promised to only respect its meaning, to use it to help her listen and not use it as a bit of magic.

With prayer, I put this shawl over my head. It helps me be alone, to close out the world around me, so only the Lord is with me under this shawl. Then I let all of the Lord penetrate my very being, as if all of every word God speaks in scripture is there with me. Sometimes it is simply all of God, and sometimes pieces of scripture come to me, but the healing and all of God filling me is powerful.

The one person I let use this shawl still speaks to me of the power she felt of the lord from using the shawl to help her listen to the Lord. That depth of listening truly has the deepest meaning of prayer.

As a sufferer of Psoriases which look identical to mine, could very well be Psoriases, however you will still need to be diagnosed. Psoriases is not hard to diagnose, so I am unsure why it's taken so long, if it is psoriasis. What are your finger nails like. Do they have lines running up and down?. Are they itchy, do they bleed when you scratch. I have the arthritic part as well. I have had this for approx 35 years, and unfortunately never had any great results but with the faith of God, I move on. God bless.

It looks familiar. It may be psoriasis. That is an auto-immune disease. Early treatment is essential. Blood work will probably confirm what this rash is. Perhaps it is just an allergic reaction to something. I will pray for an accurate diagnosis and treatment.

atopic dermatitis ??

pickles · Jul 3, 2014

Thankyou all so much for your help, I did see the dermatologist today,the final biopsi report came back and she confermed it is lichen planus, basically what pottersclay had refured to.
The ussual treatment is cortizone or an auto-immune drug, but the risks and side effects are not something I am willing to take a chance on.
I am going to get a full screening from a local naturalpath, as it seems all comes back to auto immune and inflamitory disease.
Seems to me that finding what is causeing all the imflamation is the key, so although it wil take time, it may be the answer to bringing healing to my many medical issues.
Im not sure how to put this into words, but when I realised that all was inflamitory, I felt tremendous streangth fill me in Jesus, and saw myself healed in the furture by seeking these causes.
I also saw the answers would be revieled soon.
I feel alot of peace right now, and know that all needed will be provided.
Even though I do not yet have healing, I feel healed already.

All trully is for God's glory in Jesus!

Again, thankyou all so much for your help, your support has been a great comfort as well.

in Jesus, God bles

Hello Pickles,

Sorry to hear of ur suffering...most doctors will only give u poisons to so call heal the body...but God has always had and still does natural remedies in natures for what als us...we just have to investigate...on such natural remedy is charcoal and this weed called smartweed which grows just about everywhere in the spring through early fall...u can make a salve of this and place in a cheese cloth over the skin to absorb toxins.....but first and far most is ur diet....Putting away all animal products, unwholesome sugars, white breads, and all junk foods and eating only a plant based diet will do wonders like u cant even possibly dream of....A cure is out there for u...u just have to come away from any man made stuff and look into what God has created for us...He said, "the leaves of the trees r for the healing of the nation."

pickles · Jul 20, 2014

I have been elimnating aniamal proteins from my diet as I understand this is the main cause for this disorder.
And yes, I do plan to do a diet cleansing soon.
I am shocked though at how much of the food we buy is protein fortified, even many so called natural or organic products.
Thankfully I had already been moving my diet in this direction, but now paying very close attention to the product labels.
It's really time for the food and drug administraition to start paying attention to what is being done to our food.
Just because something is good for the body does not mean it should be put into everything.

Thankyou all so much for your help, keep me in your prayers if you are able, as the sores now cover more than half of my body and are very uncomfortable.

But thankfully, Jesus's Spirit is stronger than any ailment.

Hugs and God bless

Ok, I just read something recently about an oil that would help, let me look for it, and then I'll post what it is.

violakat · Jul 21, 2014

Lemon Oil (the rind not the juice) is suppose to help with different types of skin conditions. Also, I think Frankincense and Peppermint as well. But you would need to be careful with them, as lemon oil will make you more susceptible to sunburns, while you use it on your skin, and I know that peppermint can leave a burning sensation if not used with another oil. Oh, peppermint is also said to boost the effects of other oils or drive the oil in deeper to the body.

pickels pickels pickels , a barrel full , several barrels full, of pickels ! : )

am glad to hear your husband and you are looking into things that might help. (in another/other threads).

none of the licensed pros are allowed to mention that soar rises up up up up out of (starting in) the innermost being (the intestine).... and healing the innermost being heals the outside too. very very very simply. (but sadly illegal).

also, it is so nice that some people in some places of the ewe ess aye are still able to buy vit A and take 1000 units morning and night. that is so good that the ewe ess aye allows people to do that (for now) .... for a little while longer before the international codex laws take effect.... (disaster for everyone, already signed into law for the eww ess eh)......

back around 1930-1940 the proof that severe problems with the blood were caused by not eating enough carrots was purposefully buried under 3,000 trillion dollars of bad publicity (over more than 5 decades following to this very day).

they didn't want to lose the 100,000 plus they make from pumping chemicals that kill into a still living body

by people finding out that $3 per day vitamins prevented and eliminated certain deficiency conditions which it is illegal to name....... but as JESUS SAYS - SEEK AND KEEP ON SEEKING AND YOU SHALL FIND. EVERYTHING IS SIMPLE, and evil wicked men under hasatan's control are in power and have complicated everything.

Hi Pickles, are you still have this problem? My 1st thoughts were alergies or bedbugs.

I hope this went away for you.

pickles · Mar 4, 2015

Thankyou Jeff56 and pennEd for your concern and advice.

Drs did skin biopsi and no bed bugs ect..
It did show an inflamitory, auto immune issue, but non spacific.
Seems this is the answer to anything they cannot answer lately.

I have recently started taking tumeric, as thisspice is a natural anti inflamitory, about 2 weeks now, and the sores on my wrists are almost compleatly clear, and the ones on my legs and feet apear to be healing.

I have had times when it has improved so being cautously optomistic for now.
But the one improvment I did not see before, that I am seeing now, is the skin is returning to a healthy, normal color.
Who knew a simple spice could do so much.

God bless

Desitin works. The same stuff we usae on babies bottom will help with bed sores, diabetic bumps, boils, pimples, scrapes, almost any skin eruption. The active ingrediant is zinc which builds/helps immune system. Try it for 3 days. It works!!!! Stops itching, too
