This morning I woke up with small white bumps in my arm pit and a cluster of them on a scar on my elbow that has been very slow to heal since last November.
So I searched "white bumps" and found several threads on this topic (you all are an amazing resource). And I relaxed about it. OK. So it's some other weird lyme thing.
Then, this afternoon when I looked at the bumps under my arms, they have transformed into skin tags. Now this is truly bizarre. When my husband came home I asked him if he had ever seen these on me before -- I figured if they were there before he would have seen them. Nope.
Sometimes I feel like I've fallen down the rabbit hole and gone through the lookng glass.
The cluster of bumps on the scar remain the same.
And I continue to be tired and mentally fogged.
On the plus side I got my hair cut today. I told my stylist -- I'm tired, make me look like i have energy. And I think she did her best.
And I bought some (way too expensive) mineral powder sun screen (SPF 30) made by Eminence. I figured my skin is taking a beating with the Lyme, I might as well protect it as best and non-toxically as possilbe.
Gonna try to make myself go to the sauna tonight.

SKIN TAGS - boy, the last 4-5 years have been terrible on getting these! never had them before.
had a really big one that caused me lots of pain around my neck and would be dangled up in necklaces! Had that frozen up in nov. plus 2 others in sensitive areas, but they didn't dry up and go away!
md never had anyone like me with sensitive skin tags; NOT SUPPOSED TO CAUSE PAIN!

It just annoys me to no end when I show a dermatologist something going on with my skin that is _new_ _different_ _not normal_ and he just grins and doesn't think it is a big deal. Arg.
I've lived in this earth suit for over 45 years and I _know_ my body. I get the part about that rabbit hole!
I sure hope you figure out something good to help your skin heal. I've sure tried enough remedies.
Glad you did some posititive things for yourself in the meantime!
Peace in the journey.

I realized after I started parasite treatments (2 yrs ago) that all of my skin tags on my neck disappeared. I hadn't paid too much attention when they started appearing because I had so many sx that skin tags weren't important. So I thought.
I used a Hulda Clark zapper and drank these detox teas that had all these strong herbs that are suppose to be parasite killers.
I did this for about 3 weeks and sure enough I saw evidence of large parasites. Gross, I know. Nobody wants to think about having parasites. Then skin tags started disappearing. Sure enough some research on skin tags pointed to parasites.
Karenlee, I don't recall any white bumps like you mentioned in your thread. My bumps always seem to be red and cause me to do a tick search and itch.

Good evening all.
Interesting topic. I started developing quite a few skin tags within the last couple of years.
Never really thought about it.
As I was reading this I reached down behind my right knee to feel my biggest tag.
It is still there, but it is very small.
It has shrunk!!!
Wow. Things that I have taken for granted as being part of "normal" me are not normal at all!!
Thanks for posting this.
Hugs,
Geneal

My llmd says that skin tags are related to lack of Zinc.
