I continiusly get this kind of rash even ohne or two dass after treatment. Even After FIR Sauna or Heparine injection. Most orten after metronidazol i.v. Anyone knows which bug causes this? The Idols in different sizes don‘t get larger and dispear after some time. Was thinking about of it could be from the biofilm

I get these rashes. Sometimes on my face. Sometimes I don't see them until I get into an Epsom salt bath and they sting and then I notice them.
I think they are the result of toxins leaving the body via through the skin. Sometimes they really itch.
I use silver, hydrogen peroxide, iodine, coconut palm butter, or bentonite powder paste on them. They will go away in a few weeks. Hope this helps.

- Be sure to tell your doctor. It could be an allergic reaction. Just in case, let your doctor know. Then consider all variables that might be part of the overall body load.
I would not take any kind of bath with any kind of skin rash. It's important not to let it soak in water.
Be sure to always close toilets in bathroom before flushing so that the toilet spray does not get onto towel or toothbrushes, etc.
A quick, not too warm shower is best but avoid the water actually hitting the skin as that kind of pressure can be violent to tender tissue
when blotting off to dry with a clean dry towel, don't use your towel on the rash area
rather lightly blot the rash with a clean paper towel and let dry well to the air before applying any kind of ointment - and make it a very gentle one like shea butter - then cover with or sterile gauze.
bentonite powder is likely pretty abrasive to tender damaged skin tissue
Also be sure your liver support is enough, gentle yet adequate. Not too gung-ho, though. When the body is overloaded with toxins, the skin can suffer. Be kind to the liver from the inside out.
Drink enough good filtered water each day (avoid any from plastic bottles, though); green tea, too.

- While something else (abx treatment as you described) might be the trigger for a rash, be sure to avoid harsh personal care products. Even in what we might think are safe and gentle products, look out for:
methyllisothiazolinone, MI for short, Methyl Isethionate
A MYSTERIOUS RASH ON A WOMAN'S HANDS & LIPS STUMPED SPECIALISTS
- By Sandra G. Boodman - The Washington Post - July 28, 2014
Excerpts:
. . . At her second appointment Zirwas examined her back, confirming his hunch: The only strong reaction Omiatek displayed was to a chemical called
methyllisothiazolinone, MI for short, Methyl Isethionate
which is used in high concentration in hundreds of beauty and personal care products.
In Omiatek’s case, MI was in the new brand of “sensitive” baby wipes she had begun using a few weeks before the hand rash erupted. The pattern of the rash, which was on her right, dominant hand, matched the way one would use a wipe.
MI was also in the dishwashing soap she used as well as in her soap and shampoo. . . .
. . . estimates that about half of the approximately 300 MI allergy patients he has seen were using wipes. . . .
. . . Unlike shampoo or soap that is rinsed off, the substances in toilet wipes remain on the skin, in a part of the body where evaporation does not occur.
“It gets driven into the skin, perpetuating the problem,” said Zirwas, noting that it takes months for the rash to clear entirely after a patient stops using the product. . . .
. . . The concentration of MI in some personal-care products was increased about five years ago to replace other preservatives, including formaldehyde, which have been linked to health problems.
“People thought it was going to be” an effective replacement, Zirwas said, “but around two or three years ago, we started seeing an incredible increase in the number of people allergic to it.” . . .
. . . She also learned she was allergic to the brand of “sensitive baby sunscreen . . . .
[Full article at link above.]
This is in some Seventh Generation products, so be care to not assume "good" products are as good as they may claim. I was shocked to realize I'd been using products with this in it. When I switched to ACURE Shampoo, my scalp healed]
Look out for: methyllisothiazolinone - it's even in some "natural" soaps, even Seventh Generation. Best to avoid.
When I switched to Better Life "Dish It Out" instead, a rash on my hands got so much better.
Also switched out my Avalon bath gel that had harsh ingredients I had been aware of -- better with ACURE (mint is fairly calm scent. Their unscented smells awful, though).
- check ingredient safety on all kinds of personal care and household products -

- Just stumbled upon this today, for your skin, perhaps. consider any rash that involves broken skin a wound, I would think, in terms of topical soothing. Keep it very, very clean and use a clean applicator when putting on any lotion for that area so it is not contaminated.
. . . Shea butter is a vegetable fat obtained from the fruit of a tree native to Africa, Butyrospermum parkii. Shea butter is primarily composed of fatty acids such as stearic and oleic acids. . . .
