Itchy patches on skin 11608...India
A 42-year-old woman presented with a skin condition that had been troubling her for the past five months since Oct 2018. All over her abdomen, there were several, mildly swollen reddish patches with constant and severe itching. This significantly impacted her daily life, making it challenging for her to perform routine tasks and causing irritability. She had to wear a sari daily as part of her cultural attire, thus exacerbating her discomfort. Unable to afford medical treatment, she resorted to applying a paste of basil leaves with salt, albeit with limited success. She felt happy when she learnt about vibrionics and eagerly sought a remedy.
On 16 Mar 2019, she was given:
CC21.2 Skin infections + CC21.3 Skin allergies…TDS orally, with advice to apply the water remedy externally…BD
On 2 Apr, she joyfully reported 80% relief in itching and swelling and a 60% decrease in reddishness, size and number of patches. By 18 Apr, itching had vanished and patches reduced by 80%, bringing her immense relief. Dosage was reduced to OD. By 25 May, her skin returned to normal and external application was stopped, dosage reduced to OW and stopped in mid-July 2019.
Being regular visitors to the local Sai centre, the patient and the practitioner are in constant touch. As of May 2024, there has been no recurrence and the patient remains grateful to vibrionics.
