Title: Painful "Acne" Bumps?
Post by: CatTreats on April 11, 2014, 02:14:30 pm
Hey guys. Just before starting to eat raw again (so almost 3 weeks now), I started getting very large bug-bite / acne-like bumps on my thighs and butt. Just those two places. Random parts of my thighs (more towards the outer parts, nothing on the inner thigh or crotch), and then random parts of my butt cheeks. I've NEVER dealt with body acne. I thought they were just bug bites, but I'm getting them often now. They're large, very red, and hurt. A couple were itchy, but most are just very painful. Some do have stuff in them when you squeeze them, suggesting that they're pimples ... but again, I've never had any type of body acne, even when eating the worst of SAD. I just got another one today just above the inside of my knee, and it's SOO painful. It stings really bad just going from sitting to standing. So, finally, it's bothering me enough that I wanted to post.

Any idea what this could be? Aside from this one thing, I'm feeling AMAZING back on raw. So I hope this is just something small that can be fixed.

have you ever done the basic cleanses? colon cleanses, kidney cleanses, liver flushes, coffee enemas

Have you ever done fasts?

I've had exactly what you've described about 20y ago.  Mysteriously appeared, slowly went away after 2-3 weeks, had scars for about 6 months.  Never had it again.

No cleanses, but fasts, yes. I've never really found a good guideline for doing a cleanse. I'm a little nervous about the enemas lol.

Well at least they went away! But yes, these are definitely leaving dark scars! .-.

soak them in very salty water if you can figure out how.  salty water will reduce inflammation.  salt helps a lot when i occasionally get toe infection.
