A child since the age of 1 year and 3months has been suffering from skin disease uptill now at the age of 4 years and 2 months.the detail is as under:

First he has red spots on back,arms,head,and legs but not on abdomen and chest.Only after scratching these red spots become ulcerated and thence suppurated.(Note that this suppuration and ulceration follows only after scratching &if the child does not scratch these red spots remaine in the same condition and gradually disappear without rapturing into ulcers and suppurations.)And if the later condition follows then the scars remain as an aftermath of the disease.
Very remarkable and General symptom is that the child during the climax of the suffering ameliorates from taking cold bath and drinking cold milk and cold water He is hypersensitive to egg , tea.and ghee.and chocolates.ice cream of any flavour is all o.k but the disaster comes with the chocolate- flavoured ice creamThe pt is intolerant of heat.DUE TO EARMTH IN summwe he suffers a lot.So much so mthat the poor child is hypersensitive to BRIGHT COLOUS like Red,Orange,Dark blue etc.Even in winter the pt.shuns sunshine and sits in cool place.Yr scholarly advice,pl.

Dear HDr

I am not an expert homeopath nor I can adv any remedy. I got registeration for reading purpose. I have done six months course. Since no expert homeopath has given the verdict for your patient case. I am taking risk to suggest a remedy for your pt.

I have analysed your case after compilation of symptoms. Following remedies are closly matched.


Merc, Sulph, Puls, Phos, Bar-c, Rhus-tox, Ars, Lach, Lyco and Sil

Now see in which remedy your patient is falling. See her temperament and drug picture.

I think you can start with Sulph 1m dose.

IF YOU NOT INT WITH MERC THEN THINK OF KALI SALT

Never give a high dose of Sulphur in a skin disease. It can agg very badly. We need far more information than gven to prescribe successfully. Anyhow water agg a skin complaint in a Sulphur patient!!

Respected mr.Referee.what a similarity between 2 of us.I have already prescribed Sil im.after 3 days the pt. is going on well.let us c further but optimistically.any other opinion is welcome.

Dear Hdr.

This is a problem with homeopathy and homeopaths that they first do not take inititive for a case and when somebody else try to suggest something these homeopaths try to catch fishes in the mud. You see, you posted two times. I read your first post and waited. I thought some scholar will help you out but when you posted another post. I thought now I should say something. I analysed your case and got the most specific remedy i.e. Kali Bich then I thought, No! I should compile all symptoms. The suitable remedies were those which I have already mentioned. I have no exp so I suggested to select one of them according to the needs.

I think you will need following remedies too during treatment and follow ups.

Kali Bich 30 (Very important for this case)
Calc Carb 200 (if the constitution of the patient permits you)
Dummy 6x (The most specific for this case)

This will be worth mentioning here that this is my suggestion only. I have no experience with the remedies and treatment. You can take second opinion from respectable and experienced Ricky and Arshad.

What the heck is Dummy 6x? That is no remedy I have ever heard of, unless it is placebo.

There is not really enough information to prescribe on here anyway. I believe what Ricky was talking about is using Sulphur in skin cases without taking a full case - and from experience I would have to agree with her.

Dr. Tarique,
I looked at your case detials earlier, and was thinking of remedies Like Tarentula or Tuberculinum.
BUt the modalities and history are incomplete for a suggestion to be worthwhile. HEnce i did not post.

Also I think you need to be very careful with this child and watch the reaction to evey dose that you use. Suppression and disappearance of symptoms may not necessarily be a cure - so look out for appearance of symptoms in another system - eg respiratory allergies or stomach allergies, etc, which would point to suppression.
Also my observation in these cases is that intercurrent infections keep coming up and one must be patient through them as well - careful with remedies.

You may already know all these things - so I thought I'd tell you just so that you take even remedy suggestions with the caution they deserve - carefully watching the progress of the child.
All the best.

Learned Dr. Leela,I was awaiting u.pl. let me when every modality has been introduced in the case &that too, with great assuidity,for my further process of learning pl.let me know what else should be written for your kind and scholarly perusal of the case.pl.see:

First he has red spots on back,arms,head,and legs but not on
abdomen and chest.Only after scratching these red spots become
ulcerated and thence suppurated.(Note that this suppuration
and ulceration follows only after scratching &if the child
does not scratch these red spots remaine in the same condition
and gradually disappear without rapturing into ulcers and
suppurations.)And if the later condition follows then the
scars remain as an aftermath of the disease.
Very remarkable and General symptom is that the child during
the climax of the suffering ameliorates from taking cold bath
and drinking cold milk and cold water He is hypersensitive to
egg , tea.and ghee.and chocolates.ice cream of any flavour is
all o.k but the disaster comes with the chocolate- flavoured
ice creamThe pt is intolerant of heat.DUE TO EARMTH IN summwe
he suffers a lot.So much so mthat the poor child is
hypersensitive to BRIGHT COLOUS like Red,Orange,Dark blue
etc.Even in winter the pt.shuns sunshine and sits in cool
place.Yr scholarly advice,pl.

What colour are the scars? What are is the appearance of the ulcers? what is the childs appearance like? What is teh family history of illensses? What are the perpiration characterisitcs? Tongue characteristics?
what is teh child like? Violent impulses, aggressive or alternatively lack of confidence and weak?
IF these concomittants also seem to fit the picture then:

Red spots with a tendency to easy suppuration and ulceration as well as scaring after itching would point to MERC (I agree with Arshad). The modalities seem to fit as well as well as the cravings.

You'll need to move me down a peg or two in your understanding of my learning - and the take my suggestions very cautiously!
All the best.
