Skin Condition Problem
Posted: Mon Jul 06, 2009 12:39 pm
Hi all,
My daughter has a rash all over her torso from her shoulders down to her waist and on her back it goes down almost onto her buttocks. In that area, it appears to have little white spots on it.
The rash itself is little red spots, and it is VERY itchy. She scratched herself silly with it.
To quickly eliminate the itch, I gave her some antihistamine both internally and on the rash itself (an antihistamine cream).
I have no idea what the rash would be called, but shortly I'm taking her to the doctor for diagnosis. I can't reach my homeopath and so I am hoping someone on here can help her.
I asked her if she was anxious about anything and she said yes and then started crying and told me what she was anxious about. She lost a school book and was afraid of getting into serious trouble over it. I re-assured her and looked up the book on amazon to show her that it is an easy fix if it is not found.
She said that the rash itches and then when I put the cream on it it burned a bit. She nearly vomitted on Friday at school and I was called to come and pick her up.
She has recurrent headaches, and we are trying to get to the bottom of this with the homeopath. For her headaches and anxiety, she has taken phos and staph.
She is afraid of the dark, heights, spiders, afraid of getting in trouble. She holds back from telling me some things (she was bullied at school) and because she didn't want me to get angry (about the situation not at her).
She likes to please people, and sometimes has a tendency to do what she thinks people expect of her.
She is a vegetarian, and yesterday at a party ate something that had bacon in it, without realising it and then I discovered it had bacon in it and then she didn't 'feel well' afterwards. She eats dairy and eggs, so she's not vegan.
As her mother, I don't feel that she drinks enough fluids and she keeps trying her best to increase her water intake.
She is 10 and is the height of a 12 or 13 year old, but doesn't have the accompanying 'curves'. She's very lean and lanky - almost 'supermodel' build for her age. She is the second tallest child in her grade/year group at school.
The school handled the bullying issue very promptly and she says she isn't being bullied anymore (this was handled back in May).
I will update the situation after I come back from the GP. I will let you know if they prescribe anything and that may or may not help you hone in on a remedy.
I have looked this morning in my rep and MM and I just can't find the answer because I am so new at this. I looked up remedy after remedy and the problem again is that I am not sure of what to call her skin rash (meaning for the description).
Any help would be so very much appreciated, even if it is just to point me in the right direction of narrowing it down to a small group of remedies that I can read up on and ask her more questions.
Thanks in advance,
Sue
