Very interesting!! I was JUST diagnosed with skin vasculitis two weeks ago after completing KEFLEX for inner ear infection that nothing would take away, not even silver. I've taken Keflex in the past and never had a reaction, but the doctor told me that it was drug induced, after running a blood panel to check my blood.

Mine has stayed on the back of my calves, both of them. Started off as little red spots, that began spreading massively and covering only the back part. They turned into blisters, stayed as blisters with gunk in them, burst on their own and now are scabbed over. I swear it looks like chicken pox.

I've stopped breaking out, and now in the healing cycle it seems.

the doctor also told me that the sovereign silver I took could have done this, but I'm not willing to believe that yet.

I hope you find some answers, as I too am looking for why this happened to me.... it was very scary when it all began, as vasculitis not limited to the skin region can be life threatening.

Darn it, I forgot to add what I have done for my vasculitis. At first I tried oregano oil diluted on the sores. It actually made it worse. I tried tea tree and that made it worse too.

The only thing that has helped mine stop itching and begin to shrink and heal is to take some distilled white vinegar, and twice a day, apply it with a cotton ball. Do not rub the sore, do not touch it, but to squeeze a bit of vinegar on them, and let it air dry. It took the itching away! And I believe it has been helping them.

I also took 1/2 gallon of the vinegar and added it to lukewarm bath water and took a 15 min soak in it. Felt very good.

Hope your friend finds relief as these are no fun!
