I have very fair skin,very fair but always very pretty,only short time
in sun.. Now that i'm on meds my skin is very dry, now That Derm.
lied to me about that vaseline,busniness last year,(I'm allergic to it}
Look for petroleum products it's in alot of over the counter and alot
of the stuff they give you,,,This group of Drs. didn't want to be wrong
three layers from knee to ankle my skin came off,it drain,it bled,the ER
medical student looked his eyes poped out,he said I can't admit you but
you will be..He shook his head and said,did you tell them your are allergic
to that,yes well why did they say,nobody alleric to that..Well
I would try the Virgin Olive Oil,my mom warmed that stuff up and put
it everywhere.Mothers in my Italian neighbor used it for earackes,I hope
it helps him..

Susan humor helps many things,but i've suffered from depression bad
went to a great Psycholgist,someone I could talk to it helped me.
Yes for a old bat who falls all over and falls down ,not to mention
tonight we went were I could only eat wonton soup or barf on him.
I was hoping he would say go ahead eat,if you barf on me that's fine
he didn't so I didn't. Ha Really it wouldn't hurt to talk about how many
have gone through depression.. Or going through it,and I'm glad your
feeling better. Now I have many men friends because when I'm not sitting
on it I have a great behind..

Mel let's hope it works do you use plastic gloves,you can buy in a big
box or wash hands and clean nails..I use the gloves now some people
can use latex some can't..Just a suggestion,you know my uncle had that
and sat in the sun when he could it helped,just put on sun lotion now
adays..I'll meditate and have good thoughts it starts to help. Hugs
to you and Allen and everyone..Sue

Hi Sue and All:

Well, I just woke up. It's 8:30 a.m. and I went over to check his leg. He's sleeping. The really impressive thing is that there are no more new scales. That has never happened.

Last night at approximately 10:30 p.m. I did the extra virgin olive oil thing. For the first time.

Previously, I would put the A D & E ointment, which would moisturize, but 10 hours later, there would be those nasty scales again.

BUT THIS TIME WAS DIFFERENT. I can only tell you what I just observed. The 5 inch thing was just red. It's like new skin. It's not raw, it's not flaming. It just like there's new skin. There are no scales. The three other patches on the same leg are exactly the same. No new scales. This is a first.

So what I'm going to do when he gets up, and after he washes and gets dressed, is.....I'll warm up some extra virgin olive oil between my hands (I don't use plastic gloves for this, just my clean hands). I rub the oil between my hands and gently put the oil on his legs. I even put it on the other leg yesterday because his skin is so dry. I'll do this for a while.

If we don't see any new scales, and the skin just heals, well, now, we might be on to something.

I'm am definitely crossing fingers toes, and anything else I can cross.

You have no idea the scales that came off of this guy yesterday. I never saw such a thing in all my life.

I hope the olive oil does the trick. Old Italian recipes, well somethings THERE REALLY IS SOMETHING TO THEM!!!

Will update.

I have and it is a little diff then from surgery but scales under my lids and was prescribed a steriod antibiotic cream. Will see. The oil I have never heard of. I heard of putting sugar on your skin I think.
I agree laughter is the best medicine.
Sue that is so funny about the behind. I always tell my mom don't wiggle your wiggle wagon too much. She likes the young men. Oy!
For people in pain and with many issues everyone here has such a wonderful spirit.

I never heard of putting sugar on the skin. I know that in biblical times, they did something called sugar waxing to exfoliate the skin.

Alan doesn't need anymore exfoliating believe me.

Just did the oil thing again. He's got the boot back on. We shall see later on tonight, if the skin is still smooth. Boy he certainly does have some immune stuff going haywire, that's for sure.

But his ears and his face is smooth, so that's good thing.

Hope your eye stuff works for you. I read about what you are going through.

Thanks Mel. Yea the sugar I saw I think on tv and putting powder jello the red stuff on your lips makes them look rosey. Not into those make your own stuff.Have a good day

Well this sounds good,just don't put so much oil on him,you get frisky again
hug him and he hit's the ceiling..Back to the Neuro again,I can't only laugh
when the Neuro asks Sir how did this happen..Well my wife Mel.
Ha..Hugs to all Sue

Sue, I know you must have more than a good behind to attract all these men! It must be that sense of humor, too. Now what are you going to do with them???? It makes me tired to think about it! Now that tells you that I am getting old.....

Daniella, I have been reading about your eye problem with great regret for you. It's just not fair. We should all be only allowed one medical problem each. I'd sure like to give some of mine away! Anyway, I am having positive, healing thoughts for your eyes. Take care of yourself.
