Topic: Babs/Lyme question about skin break-outs

Quick question to verify if I'm on the right track.

I have not been able to get rid of this extended acne break out on my chest for quite some time.

I have been acne prone, but usually i only get chest acne if my face is broken out. My face isn't that bad right now.

Could this just be a way my body is expelling bacteria/babesia or other pathogens I might be killing?

I take like 2 showers a day, plus use a FIR sauna 3 days a week and take detox baths.

I just started another round of Malarone/Azith and added Tindamax

Also added A-FNG, Olive Leaf Extract, and Enula

I've heard Babs likes to live in the lungs...
Anyone else get chest break outs when killing babs?

I can get lumps and bumps of all sorts when herxing or detoxing, but have no clue how it is related.... not officially at least.

Of course check with doc if it gets worse. Maybe they would be able to provide some relief for the problem?

Maybe Clindagel (a topical liquid for acne, antibacterial) would help. But be warned, it is expensive.

I am also being treated for babesia and have never had bad acne

before but my back is breaking out and I even have some on my

chest too. I think I read that this can be your body's way of detoxing

and that also, lyme's last place to hide can be in your skin which

can result in an increase in acne and rashes. Not sure if that's

true but read that theory somewhere.

My face broke out on azithromycin, actually it was more like bumps all over my face. My MD said the skin is a detox pathway and it is the toxins coming out. This continued even with doxy and at one point even my upper back was getting bumps. When you do an epsom soak, keep splashing water on your face. This seemed to help me.

thanks guys.

yea i figured i was detoxing, i just never experienced such massive amounts of it via skin especially when i take good care of it and keep it clean and open.

my fevers are down, so i'm wondering now if it's Tindamax breaking up cyst lyme on the weekends and my body just not being able to detox it fast enough.

my doc has an acne protocol, i'll have to go grab some Walmart products and give that another go.

Do coffee enemas! That would help a lot really quickly.

"I've heard Babs likes to live in the lungs..."

Babesia lives in your red blood cells.

Taking fish oil can help clear up acne, as it liquefies clogged pores and reduces inflammation.

LED light therapy can also heal acne.

My daughter takes fish oil, does coffee enemas and photon light therapy. Still has breakouts on face, back and chest (she never had any acne problems before).

She started putting on 100% pure aloe vera gel and it's 75% better.
