Skin itch 03578...France
A 45-year-old female had been suffering for 25 years from skin itch on different parts of her body, it was worse on hands and feet. This did not bother her much until a year ago when it became severe. She would constantly scratch her skin, more so at nights, causing loss of sleep. She tried different allopathic and homoeopathic medicines which provided no relief. When she started a cleaning job six months ago, her condition became worse, likely due to the use of chemical cleaning products. She was almost in tears when she met the practitioner on 12 July 2019 as itchiness had become unbearable. She was given:
#1. CC10.1 Emergencies + CC15.1 Mental & Emotional tonic + CC21.3 Skin allergies…6TD for a week followed by TDS
#2. CC21.3 Skin allergies…TDS in coconut oil for external application
On 21 July she reported 20% improvement in itchiness but she was now sleeping well. However, on waking up, the itching would start. After another eight days, as there was very little further improvement, #2 was enhanced to:
#3. CC10.1 Emergencies + #2…TDS in coconut oil for external application
In two weeks, the itching improved by 70% and after another month by 90%. She chose to reduce the dosage of both remedies to OD. On 11 October, she was delighted to convey that her skin was completely free from itching. After another two weeks, dosage was reduced to OW before stopping on 15 Dec 2019. At their last contact in July 2020, there was no relapse even after seven months of stopping the remedy.
