Hi Need Help.

I have some rashes on the glans area & under the prepuce on my penis. The eruptions are small pencil tip size & the local area surrounding those is red. There is a very mild itch or tingling feeling once or twic a day which indicates me of the existing problem. If I don't look at it I won't even know about it untioll they really flare up.

History:

About last year I got this first time. My wife also had itching problem about the same time. We don't know who got it first or how we got it. She went to her OB/Gyn & she gave her some ointment. I used the same ointment & got better but the problem came back soon. I went to my Doctor, he found no urinary infection (by tests) but still prescribed me antibiotics which did not help. I then saw a Urinologist who prescribed me some anti-fungul tablets (these have bad side effects). Anyway, the problem went away.

After that, whenever I would take any homeopathic remedies, the rashes would pop back up again but go away in about 3 days or on stoppage of the remedies.

Current Situation: About a month ago, I got these rashes again, I used the same ointment from last year, the rashes would suppress but would pop back up again. This continued about a month.
Then I checked on Homeopathic remedies & took one dose of RHUS TOX 200c.
Within 3 days of taking Rhus Tox the rashes cleared 50% & were completely gone in about a week. It been less than a week now & they seem to be coming back.
I have also picked up some flu type symptom since yesterday & I am having some yellowish nasal discharge. I have taken Tylenol & Vit C 500mg tabs since yesterday.

Please advise to get rid of these rashes. I get a feeling of weakness, not an overall feeling of well being when I get these rashes, kind of sucks my energy. I also have a toe nail (thumb) which has about 20% area on the side some fungul problem (recently turned yellowish from black). I also have athletes foot & wonder if the rashes, toe nail problem, athletes foot is all related.
I also get eruptions on the side of my foot & under the foot. These are also mildly itchy & if I poke them or burst them some watery fluids come out. It hurts for few minutes after I burst these eruptions. Usually few more will come up if I burst one on the side of my foot.

My thirst level is low. I like to be covered especially on the legs in the night. I sweat around the neck in the night. I also sweat on the head while eating if there is slight chilly/peppers in the food.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks

golden boy,

If you are serious to get some treatment then I would like to recommend you to please send your case privately to any following member. Your case demands some private discussion and not on this forum.

annabryant
lisa
saboor

ricky
scrichman
jvolkman

You can find their emails on the same board.

Sounds like you have a general problem with fungal infections (in all different areas). These can take time to resolve and would require a good case management. Your immune system needs to be improved with a good constitutional similimum. A complete case history is a must.

I would suggest you see a good homoeopath locally. From which part of USA are you?

Regards,
doctorleela

Dr. Cartoon,

I am very serious about the treatment & would prefer replies ONLY if they are constructive. This sight is visited by homeopaths & if anybody wants to ask me questions privately, they are very welcome to do so. This is a medical problem & I would appreciate ONLY serious discussion on the matter.

This problem is a serious matter & lets please stick to the case.

If anybody else (Homeopath) has a problem on my posting this medical problem, please come forward & I will remove the case from the BB, but this is a medical problem just like other problems on the BB.

Lets please have a mature & open mind for an open discussion to solve the probelm/case.

If you have any questions, please feel free to e-mail me or send me private message if you prefer that way or else please post it on the BB.

I would like some quick help before my problem aggravates too much and I have to jump to non-homeopathic medication.

Thanks for your help & cooperation.

Dr. Leela:

Thanks for your reply. Could you please suggest some remedies for this type of problem?

I am wondering if I should just repeat the Rhus Tox with higher potency or is it an indication that it was not the right remedy in the first place.

I also read on Kali Bi...would it be a good fit here, rashes plus yellowish nasal discharge in the morning.

Thanks

I really would prefer that you had good constitutional treatment. This includes details regarding your
Food cravings and aversions
Thermal state
Sleep and dreams
Mental/personality characteristics
Local reaction to hot or cold application, sensitivity, time of day etc.

But I could suggest some remedies for an acute relief. But this would be as good as having antifungals, unless one of them happenedto be you constitutional. The following remedies need to be confirmed in terms of modalities and appearance.
Ars Alb, Merc Sol, Nit Ac, Sulphur are my sugestions.

Regards,
doctorleela

Thanks All

JVolkman, thanks for your detailed post with homepaths site etc.

Question: Do you avoid taking constitutional during an acute phase? If this is true then first I need to address my acutes. If this is not true can it really flare up my acutes while we are going towards my constitutional, or a combination of remedies to addresss the acute as well constitutional...constitutional in high potency & acute in lower potency is given?

Anyway, while I am still finding a local homeopath & in an effort to control my acute so that I do not end up taking antibiotics for my yellow nasal discharge...I took a dose of Puls 200C...tell me if this is wrong. Puls I read was covering for Balanitis also...I don't know if this is exactly what I have.

My symptoms are worse in the morning (nasal discharge). In the morning there is some yellowish tinge but white to colorless the rest of the day. My rashes also get better or worse mostly in the night. Any ointment application etc. does not provide much changes in the day at least outwardly. After taking Puls in the morning yesterday, the rashes flared up in the day & by the evening quite a significant area was red.

More about myself, any weather changes in the Spring & Fall, brings these allergy ..nasal discharge significant ..otherwise I have mild nasal discharge 12 months a year. I don't tolerate too much heat.. hot weather very well...but at the same time I like to be covered in the night...on the chilly side.

Mental & Emotionally, I am an extrovert person, joke around, enjoy socializing, caring & sincere person. No smoking, no drugs...no vices .

Normal urine & bowel, no pain etc in urination.

Any other questions are welcome. Thanks

Golden boy, Questions!

What are you caring and sincere about?
What type of social occassions do you like?
What ar yur priorities in life?
What are your relationships like?
What are your food cravings and aversion?
Since when do you have this "cold and nasal discharge"? Esp in relation to the skin rashes?

Puls had caused a medicinal aggravation as it is not a similimum.

Regards,
doctorleela

Hi

Wanted to update & ask for further advise.

I was suggested (by a homeopath?) Nitric Acid 200C (single dose) & Rhus Ven 6C (3 times daily) as a palliative. RV worked great as a palliative, the rashes/eruptions would go away in a day. Anyway, when I skipped RV, the rashes were more or less in the same state...meaning no improvment till after a week. I took a week of Nitric Acid 30C before 200C which also had not helped much as a stand alone.

After no improvement with Nitric Acid 200C, I was suggested to start with Merc Sol 30C three times daily. The rashes initially flared up for a day, but started improving after 2nd day & by 3rd day were 70% gone. After that no further improvement the rashes would flare up a little & subside a little...then a little bit more improvement with continued Merc Sol 30C. My energy level has gone down...,mentally feel dull & don't feel like doing anything else. I have not been able to get proper deep sleep, waking up too many times...not being able to sleep.

With the above situation, I would like your assesssment..is the case being suppressed with Merc Sol or is it just slowly healing? My toe nail has slightly turned black..is this healing or getting worse?

Thanks for your help.

Hi JVolkman:

Thanks for your reply.

I had been treated via internet by a professional homeopath to whom I had provided my case history. His assessment was that may be it is fungal, nothing more said by him.

I had taken Merc Sol 30C, three times a day for about 10days. Today is the first day I have not taken it & feel mentally much better.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Thanks
