    Hi

    I have suffered with gout for many years for which the attacks were extremely painful so i have always relied on the medication, however it takes time to find the correct drug and therefore prescription. For me herbal treatments sound like they should do the trick but in reality either take too long to kick in or have no impact on the gout at all

    if you have a rash then you are most likely to be allergic to something you are taking, stop one treatment at a time to see if that helps

    I would be very surprised to see Uric crystals appearing through your skin, generally build up of the acid will cause attacks and if not treated you will get lumps under the skin called Tophi. These can of course be treated by medication which takes an age to disolve them or you can have them removed under general anaesthetic.

    If i was you i would go to see my GP and get a refferal to a Gout specialist. There are plenty of drugs out there, you just need to find the right one(s) because we are all different and they will all effect you in different ways. No one can say i use this so you should, please seek medical advice now

    Good luck

    Thanks

    Some herbal treatments are better than others. I use res veratrol and Quercetin and it works.
