Skin Rash

I have had a terrible skin rash that started as what looked like 4 blisters on my toe, they were sore to the touch but did not itch at all…..within 24 hrs my little toe had tiny bumps all around the blisters and went a little bit on my foot, still no itching……24hrs after that all the small bumps merged with the blister things and my toe swelled up to a massive size and has been in a lot of pain (it busted open a couple times, I think just because it could not stretch anymore, no puss or infection came out, it just tore the skin)…..over the last 2 1/2 wks the rash has gone from my foot up my leg, on my arm, covered my hand and then spread to the other side only it itches like crazy…..my feet and hands have it the worst by far although the rash that was on my left foot is now gone and there is no more rash on my legs, stomach or back…..the only rash that remains is my hands, arms and my right foot with the hurtin unit toe.  The itching is almost unbearable, none of them have busted open or scratched off, I try not to scratch them though.  Here are some links to some pictures of my hands and toe.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I have been packing Benoite clay on my toe, taking a heavy sick time tea (although I feel great I could sure use the immunity boost I would say) and have just started out on a parasite cleanse today.  I did not introduce anything new to my laundry, no bed bugs, I cant say if I got bit on the toe or not but it is a possibility.  I did take some mangosteen juice for the first time a little over 3 weeks ago but stopped after 5 days of it (this was about 3 days or so before the toe blisters appeared) but that is the only new thing that has been around me.

I did have a migraine that made me feel like the flu 3 days before the blister appeared, the migraine went away on the second day of having the blisters.  Other than that I have felt 100% great, no other complaints except a massive toe and a body full of little bumps that itch like mad.

Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

Knee swelling

I totally agree with the advice to see an MD in
order to rule out blood clots. But meanwhile, here
is a harmless folk remedy for sore knees that actually
works for some people. I learned it from my all-time
favorite Home Support client who was a natural heath
fanatic.

You need some rags of pure wool, and some of either
cotton or linen. Wet the cotton or linen rags with
luke-warm water. Wrap around the knee. Wrap wool
over it. Now I can't remember if she tied plastic over
that, but the key is the damp cotton and wool.

Somehow the wool wicks the swelling away. I told this
to a young woman I met in the Hot Springs here. I saw
her again a few weeks later, and she told me it had
worked!

Worth a try and harmless, like any good folk remedy.
