I will do my best to explain. Just wondering if I should be concerned? Take her to Dr? Or is it something normal?
So tonight my Mom asked me to rub some stuff on her back because it was itchy, she had been using back scratcher on it previously.
So I did as asked. Upon looking at her back It seemed what appeared to be little pockets of blood? Looked like little red spots all over her back. When I looked closer it just looked like little spots of blood. Has anyone else ever seen this, know what I am speaking of, or have any idea. Sorry it really grosses me out to see and talk about it, but looking for some insight. Thank all you beautiful people. May God bless.
Wasn't sure where to post this under.
Tide really surprised me as my Mom used Tide laundry detergent the whole time I was growing up and never had a reaction.
I go to a pool 4 times a week we all bring lotion & 1 lady brought a silicone kitchen spatula/bowl scraper to put lotion on her back for that area you can't quite reach - several of us have followed - we pour a small amount on it then apply to our backs ... so soothing - I notice in the few weeks since I did this that my back isn't itchy anymore - maybe get her one to use instead to that back scratcher which could tear her skin & cause a worse condition
As to why detergent would suddenly make you itchy is that they keep changing the basic chemistry to 'improve' the product - just because the packaging/name is the same doesn't mean what is inside is the same - when I had my knee replacement I developed a severe itch [at 3:00a.m.] all over but my head area .... it was my own pillow & pillowcase so when I dressed in my own clothes the itch stopped - I went home 2 days early to avoid the sheets etc washed by the hospital
