Skin infection 11563...India
A 27-year-old female had a rash on her feet and arms especially left elbow for the past six months (see pic).
Itching was so intense that she could barely sleep for 2-3 hours. She did not consult a doctor but tried several home remedies without success. So she contacted the practitioner on 15 April 2018 who gave:
#1. CC12.1 Adult tonic + CC12.4 Autoimmune diseases + CC15.1 Mental & Emotional tonic + CC21.2 Skin infections + CC21.3 Skin allergies + CC21.10 Psoriasis + CC21.11 Wounds & Abrasions…6TD
#2. CC12.4 Autoimmune diseases + CC21.10 Psoriasis + CC21.11 Wounds & Abrasions…QDS in extra virgin olive oil for external application
After 12 days the patient reported improvement of 50% with the rash and 75% with the itching and she was able to sleep well. The dosage of #1 and #2 was reduced to TDS. Three months later on 4 August, she was 90% cured of her symptoms (see pic) and the dosage for both was reduced to BD for 2 weeks followed by OD.
During this visit, the patient also reported that she was earlier diagnosed to have fibroids and PCOD and now she was suffering from heavy bleeding with abdominal pain.
So, additionally she was given:
#3. CC8.7 Menses frequent + CC10.1 Emergencies + CC12.1 Adult tonic…one dose every hour on the first day followed by 6TD for 3 days and then TDS.
Her menstrual bleeding had stopped by the time of her next visit on 9 October 2018, but monthly periods had also stopped. Her skin condition had improved further. Now, #3 was replaced by:
#4. CC8.8 Menses irregular + CC10.1 Emergencies + CC12.1 Adult tonic…TDS
On 2 November 2018, her skin condition was normal but now she developed heavy menstrual bleeding together with pain in her back and abdomen. So #4 was replaced by:
#5. CC20.2 SMJ pain + CC20.5 Spine + #3…one dose every hour on the first day followed by 6TD for 3 daysand then TDS.
On 14 November 2018, as the bleeding had not stopped, she opted for allopathic injections.
During the follow-up on 28 November 2018, she complained of boils on her feet. #1 and #2 were replaced by:
#6. CC12.4 Autoimmune diseases + CC21.3 Skin allergies + CC21.10 Psoriasis…TDS in extra virgin olive oil for external application
#7. CC12.1 Adult tonic + #6…TDS
On 9 December, she developed swelling with pain in her feet. So #6 and #7 were enhanced to:
#8. CC21.11 Wounds & Abrasions + #6…TDS in extra virgin olive oil for external application
#9. CC10.1 Emergencies + CC21.11 Wounds & Abrasions + #7…TDS
Seeing no improvement, the practitioner reviewed the case afresh on 27 December 2018 and replaced #8 and #9 by:
#10. CC12.4 Autoimmune diseases + CC21.2 Skin infections + CC21.6 Eczema + CC21.11 Wounds & Abrasions…BD in extra virgin olive oil & vibhuti for external application
#11. CC8.1 Female tonic + CC9.2 Infections acute + CC12.1 Adult Tonic + CC15.1 Mental & Emotional tonic + CC21.2 Skin infections + CC21.6 Eczema…every hour that day followed by 6TD for 2 days and then TDS from 30 December
There was steady improvement in her skin condition and by 21 January 2019 the boils and swelling had completely gone, only scars remained. The dosage of both #10 and #11 was reduced to OD for 2 months. As she felt her skin had totally healed, she stopped taking the remedy on 15 March 2019. As of January 2020 there has been no recurrence of itchy rash or boils.
