Callus and Corns 02696...India
A 55-year-old female had a thick mound of hard skin on the underside of her right foot for over 20 years. It had been diagnosed as chronic callus. Over the years, the pain had become so intense that she could not put her right foot fully on the ground, especially if she tried to walk barefoot. She had to tilt her foot in order to walk with bearable pain.
On 5 August 2018, the practitioner gave the following remedies:
#1. SR299 Lycopodium CM…1 dose every 2 weeks, total 4 doses
#2. SR342 Antim Crud 200C…3TW for 4 weeks
#3. SR318 Thuja 30C…TDS for 5 days followed by SR318 Thuja 200C… 1 dose every 2 weeks, only 2 doses
All the remedies were started on the same day with a gap of 10 minutes between remedies if taken around the same time.
After 15 days, the patient happily showed that she could keep her right foot on the ground without much pain. She was advised to continue the remedies exactly as prescribed. After another 15 days, 80% of the callus had dissolved but the pain had completely gone.
She was also given:
#4. CC21.5 Dry Sores…TDS with advice to take it at least for 3 months.
She reports once a month and is able to do her household work comfortably. Remedy #4 is being continued TDS and would be tapered to OD once the callus dissolves 100%.
Practitioner’s note: The above course of treatment was tried by the practitioner on himself in 2015 with great success. He had been suffering from corns and calluses for over 15 years and the pain had been intensifying over the years. After he completed the prescribed dosage of #1 to #3 as above, the problem disappeared very quickly. It has not recurred till date and his feet show no trace of the problem.
