Skin lesion 11632...भारत
A 40-year-old female had an 8 cm x 6 cm skin lesion, possibly ringworm or eczema, on her right shoulder for the past one year. It was red in appearance with severe itching which would get aggravated and discharge pus whenever she ate brinjal, red sorrel (gongura in Telugu), meat or spicy food. She took no other treatment and on 1 July 2022, the practitioner gave:
#1. CC21.3 Skin allergies + CC21.6 Eczema + CC21.7 Fungus + CC21.11 Wounds & Abrasions…BD in coconut oil for external application
#2. CC4.10 Indigestion + CC10.1 Emergencies + #1
In order to avoid any pullout, #2 was started at OD. On observing no issue after three days, the dosage was increased to BD and then to TDS after another three days on 8 July. On 12 July, she had 100% relief from itching but the size of the patch remained the same. By 24 Dec, it reduced by 50%, and 95% by 26 Jan 2023 and by 23 Mar, it had disappeared, so #1 was stopped. On 20 June, #2 was reduced to BD. The patient decided to continue this dosage as prophylactic. As of end July 2023 she is doing fine as there has been no relapse.
