[tri-med] Re: rash

Hey Rebecca,

Mary is right on the money, Tea Tree Oil. The kind I
use isn't sold in stores, but from a special wholesale
company. It is more refined and pure. But Tea Tree Oil
is a natural antiseptic, gentle soother(takes the ouch
out), safely penetrates, helps jump start the healing
process and smells good. I used it Genevieve's odd
rash, she had bumps and water blisters that turned
into ezcema, doctors never saw nothing like it and was
going to give her a steroidal script, but I told him I
wouldn't use steroids on her ever again... and
honestly the oil works on everything...

Keep us posted on how Ruth does.... : )

>Subject: [tri-med] rash

Ruth has a skin condition that is looking terrible and
growing.  A couple of weeks ago I noticed that there
was a raised ring around the birthmark (or scalp sore
that the literature talks about...?) at the base of
Ruth's skull.  It took me a couple of days to realize
that it might be ringworm.  Her physical therapist and

home nurse both agreed that it might be, so I took her
to the family practice Dr.  He said, "yep...looks like
a fungus."  So we have been putting miconazole on it. 
Hasn't helped much.  It has spread around her neck and
onto her tummy.  I hate it!  She had her "well-baby"
checkup this past week.  Her doctor looked at it and
said, "no, that's not a fungus.  I don't know what it
is."  He gave us a prescription for steroid cream.  I
haven't had a chance to fill it yet, so I've still
been using the miconazole.  I want it to go away!  Any
good remedies for skin funk out there?
