Questions…new member
Hi!
I am a new member and have a small outbreak of psoriasis on my cheat
going down between my breasts to the top of my abdomen. I have an
upcoming abdominal surgery that is elective on Feb 07/06. The doctor
says he will go ahead with it as long as the condition does not worsen
before the surgery. He said I must understand there could be
complications with the incisional wound healing. I am here to ask what
experience you all might have in this area and am debating whether to
go ahead with the surgery or to postpone it til I can get this flare up
to go away for awhile. Help!
Thanks,
Sandi

Sandi,
Welcome! I was worried about a similar issue when I had shoulder surgery.
I have eczema on a few patched on my scalp and usually when I have a cut it
turns into eczema. I had orthascopic (sp?) surgery, where they cut small
incisions, in 4 different places. Since I am allergic to band aid adhesive
they used stitches instead of the widely used adhesive glue. I would
definitely suggest stitches just because if you have any skin problems you
may be allergic to the adhesive glue. Anyhoo, after the stitches were out I
used a variety of different lotions on the areas. I used Mederma, which is
supposed to heap the scar go away and also heavy lotions and oils. Luckily
now you can barely see the scars. Extra Virgin coconut Oil is a good choice
but you have to apply it often. Over the counter moisturizers "seem" to keep
your skin moisturized longer but that’s only because they have synthetic
products in them. Be wary of these because synthetic ingredients are soaked
into your skin and then your bloodstream. We have been having a discussion
about Dimethicones which is almost every product these days but really isn’t
good for you.
Also, before surgery they scrub the area which actually might help your kill
off dead/infected cells in your psoriasis. I hope this helps. Good Luck!

I’m so sick of this BS….

Stacey,
Sadly, I suspect you wouldn’t know a cure if it healed you.
I could never have imagined how small-minded your crowd is.
About all I can say is obvously, none of you is sick enough to really
care about healing.
NONE of you has even thought of "checking out" the methodology I was
suggesting. Apparently, just like with the conventional medical
establishment, it’s more "fun" and/or more "profitable" to LOOK FOR a
cure, than it would be to actually find one. Apparently, if you found
one, you wouldn’t have anything to bleat about anymore, kind of like
sheeep, eh ?
Good luck, and God Bless,
If and when your eczema gets to be more than you are able to handle,
perhaps then, you’ll want to learn what I know.

how dare he talk to me like that…
I thought I would share this with EVERYONE…

Stacey,
You have probably "prayed for" an answer to your affliction.
I may not know "how" such a survey might have been done, but social
scientists have reported that about 85% to 86% of all prayer is offered
to God, FOR healing, or for health.
If YOU prayed, did you really expect the Archangel Gabriel to come sit
on your bed, and tell you of God’s healing plan for you ?
you DID?
Wow!
How do you KNOW it’s not me?
Fret over that one, dear.

WOW! Not only is he a prev, but evidently has a God complex as well…what a
lethal combination! And what’s with all the "quotation" marks on everything??
I think we should all wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors and
once again completely ignore this repulsive character.

Wowie. This guy is not racking up points in the "normal" category. He is
working overtime sending out mean emails to individuals, tho’. There has to be
a way to sanction the guy, but he could just sign on under a different name,
etc.
I was thinking: eczema/psoriasis is kind of a reach for hydrotherapy, isn’t
it? There are a lot of other boards and a lot of other illnesses that Dan might
think his miracle cure would work for. I doubt this is the only board that he’s
on or the only one that he is trying to get people to do phone enemas on, which
is just so weird, it’s incredible.
Anyway, if anyone felt like doing something about it, they could start letting
people on other boards know about this kind of thing. It’s such a specific
behavior, how many people could be asking people to stay on the phone during an
enema?
Just a thought, in case anyone wants to do anything.

Alison:
How did you find out you are allergic to the bandage adhesive? Just from
contact with it?
I have been getting red spots and very itchy after a bandage (tape or
bandaid), or paper tape is even worse. I figured it was connected to my latex
allergy, but maybe it’s the glue. Latex free tape bothers me too so maybe it is
the
glue.
I just had surgery and the bandage bothered me and my eczema flared up after
wearing an ace. The clear bandage right on the stitches bothered me as well
and unfortunately had to stay on longer. Finally have all the bandages off and
feel much better. But now my neck is flaring up but I think maybe it was
hair products even though I try to be careful with that. But I am also behind
on
my low immune system treatments waiting on Cobra so maybe that is why I am
flaring so much.
Thanks,

I pretty much found out I was allergic to the band aid adhesive when I had
tried every different of band aid and paper tape and still had a reaction.
My skin is sensitive so I wasn’t shocked. I get the big red spots just where
the band aid or tape was on my skin. The stronger the adhesive the worse the
reaction.
I am glad you got stitches because the glue they use sometimes can be an
irritant.

I’ve only noticed the redness for the past few years on bandaids or tape. I
got the absorbent stitches, I am glad they didn’t use glue either because I
would not have thought about an adhesive sensitivity. The bandaging was bad
enough, and the flare ups from the ace bandage too.
I just remembered that I used to use some sort of tape on my hands,
(Coraciden sp?? or something like that). It was once prescribed to me and every
once
in awhile I would use it on my hands and it seemed to help somewhat. I never
had a reaction with that sort of tape, but it was medicated. I ran out awhile
ago and don’t go the the Derm. anymore.
Thanks,

Actually I think it was something more like Cordran tape, Coraciden is for a
cold, oops, sorry.

Many people are alergic to the tape they use in hospitals. There
are many types of tape they can use. It has been my experience that
the paper tape causes the fewest problems. Ask whoever is dressing
your wounds to try that tape and use as little as possible.
