Very sick with sinus infection and rash welts sunburn

strep throat/scarlatina rash????

I have been very sick with sinus infection for two months.. my ENT physician hasn't had success curing it... I was at work one day and developed a rash on my neck that began itching and I was told it was poison ivy... it had worsened it a few days.. my neck and face have welts all over like a sunburn with welts that began to grow up my face and almost into my rt eye.. my skin started peeling and felt like sand paper... my family doc. said it is a secondary bacterial infection..not sure how it was caused... they put me on antibiotics and steroid but my welts are getting worse and the sunburn reaction is scary because I haven't been out in the sun at all in weeks... I think I may have strep throat...but I have many symptoms like scarlet fever rash... my tongue is white I have welts on my neck and face ..green coming out my nasal passages ...and I have a red ring like a sideways smile inside my buttock cheeks which they are treating me for fungus... I believe it is strepotoccocal infection peri-anal...my body is overwhelmed right now with infection from welts on my face and neck all the way down to my female genitals.and my hands are swollen and red too..all of the sunburn effects all over my neck and face feel like a burning from the inside out since my skin peeled and fell off but is still red with welts.. I feel sooo drained... does anyone have any insight to what you think I can do..

I am so sorry to hear about your rash and sore throat issues. I to had the same thing, yet not as severe as yours, about 2 summers ago. I was scarry to look at, definately looked like something was crawling under my skin. I even had these huge spots in my scalp. I had a positive strep result when I went in with a rash. After about 3 doses of antibiotics the rash got worse. I quite the antibitics and started dumping the ACV with the mother on my head and body while I was in the shower. It sure did burn like crazy but I just let it stay on my skin for about 5 minutes and then rinsed off. I also started taking ACV in shot form twice a day. I would add about a half of a cap of cayenne pepper, a squeeze of lemon and sometimes a drip of honey to it and chug it down. Sends chills up the spine for sure!. Follow up with plent of water throught the day. I think it took about 2 weeks for my rash to clear. My arms are slightly scarred just looking patchy white.

My sore throat did return about 2 weeks after my rash left. For this I just gargled with peroxide 3 times a day and spit all the foamy mucus that comes up with it. I think I did this for 3 days and the 2nd day I alread felt normal again.

I know how horrible you feel. I hope this helps.... Let me know if you can: [email protected]
