Abscess 11601...India
A 61-year-old woman was diagnosed with diabetes 3 years ago and her doctor prescribed Amaryl 1½ mg per day, which has been keeping her blood sugar stable. Two years ago, she developed an abscess on her right leg which did not heal with medicines, so the abscess had to be surgically removed. Her attending physician had attributed it to diabetes. One month ago, she developed a bigger abscess about 25 mm in size on her abdomen (near the navel) with inflammation all around. The affected area was reddish, itchy and very painful.
Not wanting to go for surgery this time, she approached the practitioner on 28 March 2019 and was given:
#1. CC2.3 Tumours & Growths + CC6.3 Diabetes + CC10.1 Emergencies + CC15.1 Mental & Emotional tonic + CC21.2 Skin infections + CC21.11 Wounds & Abrasions…6TD for 3 days followed by TDS
#2. CC21.2 Skin infections + CC21.11 Wounds & Abrasions in olive oil for external application…TDS
Every week the patient diligently reported the progress to the practitioner (see pics). The size and redness of the abscess as well as itching and pain had gradually reduced over a period of 8 weeks and the skin became dry by 23 May 2019. After another 4 weeks on 19 June 2019, the abscess had completely gone (see pics), leaving just a scar. So the dosage of both #1 and #2 was reduced to OD and stopped after a week. On 27 June, as a preventive measure, she was given CC12.1 Adult tonic to be alternated with CC17.2 Cleansing…OW.
On 30 October 2019, the patient confirmed that there has been no recurrence of the abscess and she is keeping in good health. Also, she expressed her wish to be treated for diabetes, starting in November 2019.
Editor’s note: Ideally, on 27 June when the remedies were stopped, CC21.1 Skin tonic should have been given, at least for external application, to work on the scar.
