Fungal infection 11630...India
A 23-year-old woman was suffering from an itchy rash on her legs and midsection, on and off for the last five years. It had been diagnosed as a fungal infection. What started out as an itchy patch around her calf muscle had spread to her thighs and waistline as a red swollen rash, aggravated by constant itching and sweating. Her symptoms worsened during the night and in the summer, this in turn disturbed her sleep.
She was prescribed antifungal medicines including a powder for external application but these gave only temporary relief. She took the oral medicine only when the itching was severe. During the summer she had to take two tablets instead of the usual one tablet to control the infection. When the infection cleared up, she was left with dark pigmentation which continued for weeks or even months. She was very upset and desperate for a permanent solution. She consulted the practitioner on 24 Apr 2021 and was given:
#1. CC10.1 Emergencies + CC15.1 Mental & Emotional tonic + CC21.3 Skin allergies + CC21.7 Fungus…OD for a week and then TDS
#2. CC21.7 Fungus + CC21.3 Skin allergies…OD in vibhuti for external application
Within five days on 29 Apr, the patient reported that her thighs and waistline remained dry without any sweat and that the itching had reduced by 70%. She pointed out that remedy #2 was very effective in reducing sweat, so its dosage was increased to TDS as summer was approaching.
In another two weeks itching, rash, and inflammation came down by 80%. In the middle of the night, if she felt itchy, she would apply the antifungal powder, so the practitioner advised her to use #2 instead.
By 31 May, there was 95% improvement in itching and rash while the pigmentation had disappeared. The patient was relieved that she did not need allopathic medicine even once during the summer. By 14 June, all her skin problems were gone. #1 was reduced to OD for a week, then slowly tapered down to zero on 16 Aug. #2 had been stopped on 3 Aug 2021. A year later she continues to enjoy her freedom from rash!
