Ok, here is the latest on my rash (which began June 12, 2008). Though I’m not sure still if it’s eczema, fungus, allergies or another unknown, it seems to be almost clear. I still have redness in my inner elbows and a few spots down my arms. My butt still has some spots and a couple of new ones but my legs, stomach and back remain clear. I did see a scratch mark on my back 2 days ago (which I don’t remember doing).

At this point what I do is use a cortisone ointment on my “butt rash” twice a day triamcinolone .1 . On my upper back where I do have tinea versicolor I am now using naftin - I had been using oxistat. Twice a day I use a moisturizer on rest of my body- I alternate between aquaphor, cetaphil and a neem based lotion from the health food store.

For supplements, I take still the omega 3 oil, borage oil, yeast fighters by twin labs, candida cleanse, daily mutl vitamin, calcium/mag/zinc capsule, l-lysine , b-complex, neem capsules, tumeric and a few more I am forgetting twice a day.

I also put oregano oil and graperfruit seed oil in water once a day (to fight yeast/fungus). All this seems to be keeping things at bay. When I go in sun I use sunscreen and stay out for only 1 hour tops. I still don’ t know the origin of the rash or if it will continue to flare up. I don’t feel it’s totally out of my system as I have the redness on inner elbows and some spots left, but it is a lot of progress and I hope it gives people hope for their own situations.
