Bumps On Rectum After Period!!!!!!!!!!! Posted: 10-26-05 09:58am
:( :( hi all,
i have lupus for a year and a half now and
some strange things have been happening to
me. One of the strangest so far is what
has been happening when I have my period.
I have noticed just on the outer part of
my bottom checks they are bumps which look
as if I have been burnt. They swell up
and have been quite painful. They
normally show up a few days after my
period has ended and last for about a
week. Has anyone experience this.
Please please respond, I am quite
concerned about it.

I refer to it as my "diaper-less" diapey
rash :lol: . I haven't paid a lot of
attention as to when it pops up & mine
seems to be more in the "crack" :oops:
& itches like crazy. I feel your pain
but am comforted that i'm not alone on
this or some kind of freak!

Bumps On My Extreme Lower Back Posted: 11-08-05 18:40pm
I got 3 lumps and they were so sore that
it hurt even for my clothing to touch them
- the doctor @ the clinic had no reason
nor could explain - they lasted about 8
days in all - it was immediately after my
period!

Thanks So Much Guys Posted: 12-16-05 05:34am
:d thanks so much guys for replying. I
felt a bit foolish posting that info but I
am really happy to know that it is not
just me who suffers such a thing. We
never want to know that other are going
through painful situation but it helps to
know we are not alone. Another thing has
happened it appears as if my period cycle
has shorten. It used to be 28 days it
is now 21 days. Thanks again for
responding.

Not only do I get those nasty bumps on
my...Unmentionable places, but also along
the nape of my neck and inside my mouth.
Some of these even end up as scars!
Needless to say I am currently replacing
my thongs with less revealing
undergarments. :( actually, I have a
funny story about this...Every time a go
to a gyno they check me for herpes!!!
And, as a matter of fact, I have never had
an std. How embarrassing!Does anyone
else have these problems as well?
On a different note, I have found
some ways to help. A friend of mine
decided to shave all her pubic hair to
eliminate the moisture factor, and that
has helped her immensely. I would
recommend using a clean razor with every
shave because those of us with lupus are
extremely succeptable to infection. It's
expensive, but worth it. A way I have
helped with the problem...I try to carry
lysol ( the aerosol/kills everything kind)
to spray down every toilet I encounter!
Yeah, I feel stupid doing this, but since
the bumps can be caused by a weak immune
system and staff, it helps!
And with the period, maybe they are
more prevalent during this time because,
again, the moisture factor allows
bump-causing stuff to just kinda hang out
around there. I know that sounds nasty,
but I use a tampon, and I don't really
notice more bumps during menstruation. I
wouldn't recommend tampons if your lupus
causes a reaction to them. I just
recently can only be around certain kinds
of fabrics, myself, so I would caution
tampon use for some.
Most of all, whether we find a way to
eliminate this discusting things or not,
it is nice not being alone!

Everyone's symptoms sound a lot like
shingles - very painful rash/bumbs that
are sometimes brought on by stress (if you
have the dormant virus leftover from
chickenpox) or hormonal changes. I had
shingles prior to my lupus dx and learned
later that they're related (yet another
autoimmune ailment). Your doctor can help
- valtrex will clear them up.
