Re: To violetgrace - NEEM
it was itching like mad when i got the soap. there were two types i tried. one was just regular strength organix.
this one:

it made me tingley and changed the itch. when i used the extra strength though the itching was gone in three days.
you could have bumps from the neem pulling all the oil out of your skin. are you using a body brush or scrubby gloves too? that will help things along greatly. it aids in removal of oils,dead skin, yeast and that discoloration.
washclothes...blahhhhhh. dont use them. i feel like it makes my rash worse.
this is the type of soap i am using that i think is the best/most effective:

i even used it in my hair. the rash was creeping up my neck..ewghg
also dont wear any shirts twice without washing them. this also helped. i dont know if i mentioned that. and if you can change your pillowcase too.
if you go totally nuts on it for a week with the cleaning and applying things it goes away really quickly and then you just have to wash yourself with the soap as you normally would to keep it away.
what book did you get....i want to get a book on neem too.
another herb you might like to research and try:
red clover
anyway though...your rash sounds pretty severe. do yourself a favor and use that clean and clear stuff too.
this is the one that i used:

it has that med. that will fight your rash through out the day. and it will greatly help with the itch.
if you are still itchy use gold bond extra strength powder in addition.
i know it sounds like a lot but i was trying single things for years and couldnt get it under control. i had to use all three of those together
(neem,clean and clear,gold bond) to get it under control.
i am sure the bowel cleanse/
parasite cleanse helped too.
