Please can someone help me.

I have had a rash at the top of my legs and groin for about 5 years. It is gradually getting worse and the skin there is now very damaged and scaly. It is very itchy, and just looks as though it is red all the time and the skin looks thicker as though another layer has formed on top of the original skin.

I have been to my GP, and to a specialist dermotologist. I have had a sample of scrapings sent to a laboratory. Still nothing helps me. I have been advised to use steriod cream and avoid soap. The steriod cream prescribed has further damaged my skin as I used it over a long period of time because I wasn't warned about this.

I now feel I cannot wear a swimming costume it has got so bad. Sometimes I feel almost suicidal about it - I know that sounds ridiculous but it really does get to me. My fiance must have noticed it, but he has never mentioned it.

Would homeopathy be able to help? Please recommend what I should take. Thank you.

I suspect this is caused by eating Foood cooked in Aluminium

Had a friend with IDENTICAL problem

What do you eat ??/
What is it cooked in

What is your water supply treated with

etc etc

yes it can be cured, but we need the full historie here, your personal symptomes, and medical historie as well, . look at the other posts, then you get the idea, we need what makes you worse /better, when? and more.

I believe that I eat a good healthy diet. I really like most foods, and eat alot of fruit and vegetables. I have a very varied diet and there is nothing really that I don't eat.

For example, I have cereal for breakfast, sandwiches for lunch with a packet of crisps, and then for dinner something like chilli con carne, roast chicken, jacket potato with baked beans. Is this any help?

I don't know about my water supply - I will find out. What did your friend do? Did she manage to cure the problem? Thanks for your help so far - it's nice to know that I'm not the only one who has ever had this. Look forward to hearing further

To GM

Personal symptoms are: intense itching, red rash at top of legs which is gradually spreading further and further down thighs, skin looks thicker as though I have a layer of extra skin on top, skin is very scaly and pitted, skin is sometimes flakly and sometimes red raw with soreness, especially sore in skin folds, most itchy at night and I stratch when I am asleep.

Please note the doctor told me the area was damp and moist and that was a factor. I confirm the area at the top of my legs is NOT damp and moist. I am a very slim, unsweaty person and only really pespire if I do strenuous exercise. Also, I am quite bow legged which means that my legs do not touch at all at the top unless I cross them. Further, I have been given so many thrush creams it is driving me insane, they do not work so it cannot be thrush.

Medical History:

I used to get alot of bouts of tonsillitis when I was 14-20. I had anti-biotics regulary for these years. I had CN3 which is a early form of cervical cancer, but all smears in last couple of years have been clear. I do sometimes suffer from constipation and have produced bloody stools on occasion. Apart from this I have a fairly good bill of health (touch wood). I do not get many colds or flu (although I did have a terrible flu fever over Christmas). I am 31 years old, slim build, 5 ft 4 in, good appetite, strong nails, relatively fit. I am a light smoker (3-4 per day).

What aggrevates the condition:

If only I knew!!! I cannot find a single trigger factor. I have tried eliminating various foods such as wheat and dairy. Also, alcohol. I use sensitive skin products only (have started using liquid parrifin/white parrifin to wash with as prescribed by specialist - making it worse). For example, on the night of my last birthday I had a small dinner party. Lovely evening, food was a moussaka, red wine, cigarretes. Went to bed, no real intense itching, woke up and could hardly walk for the cracked sore skin at the top of my legs. Each step was SO painful. Too painful to wear trousers, so wore skirt with no underwear so no rubbing took place.

I don't think the problem is particulary aggravated by stress. I have very stressful and demanding job but can have a hard day and the condition is fine. I am currently off work on leave (just dossing around happily), and the condition has flared up badly.

Is this any help. I have tried to give as much information as possible - I'm not really familiar with homeopathic medicine, as you can probably ascertain.

Look forward to hearing from you. Very grateful for your help.

Try one dose83 pills) natrium mur, one m, once only, and avoid salt food, salt.
It works two months, so give updates. And quit medication, if on birtcontroll pills, they must go.
First update three days after the dose.
And, do you like garlic?
Use glasses? myopia? Frecles? Colour of hair, eyes? Any spots on nails?

Can you tell us a bit about your personality? I often ask my patients " How would your best friend describe you" and "How would you worst enemy describe you"? Be as honest as you can as it will help us find the best remedy for you.
Can you also tell us if you have a sweet/salty/sour/bitter preference to your food. Any food cravings or dislikes? Worst time and best time of the day? What makes you angry or upset and how do you deal with it. How do you react to someone consoling you when you are upset? Any fears you might have and your reaction to extremes of temperature. These are all important to make an accurate prescription. Can you think back to what stressful situation may have happened 5 years ago before the condition started.

Your answers to these questions may still mean that Nat Mur is correct for you as GM has an uncanny way of getting the correct remedy from information that may seem scanty to the rest of us!!

I would say that your problems may have been caused by all the anti biotics you have taken in the paste. Please avoid in the future. How long did you use Cortisone as that may have to be dealt with?

Please do not take offence ......but CIGARETTES fill the body with all manner of toxins

If your body is full of toxins like that or Aluminium from cookware or water supply or even some Red Wines and some foods you could well have the cause of your problem

My friend had dermatologists suggesting everything just like you including coloured toilet paper

GM is right .....Birth Control Pills, are no help upset liver function and everything

I still suspect your body is reacting to toxins

I am sure you think your diet is healthy ......So did I and my friend but we were stunnned when our homeopath spotted the hypersensitivity to Aluminium

I guess you are in UK .....where ?????as I may know likely water supply trouble spots

Just a thought here, " how would your worst enemy describe you", WELL IF TAKING INTO CONSIDDERATION, SOME OF THE POSTS ON THE BB,( one small enemy here described the letters GM who is short for my name, as general motors) I FIND THAT RIDICOULOUS, ITS NO WONDER THAT FAULTY PRESCRIPTIONS IS MADE.
This is not a objektive handling of the case at all, but a interpretion, projektion,distortion, that Organon forbids!

PS. and its not any special that i find the remedy, all can do that, if they realize that a chair has four legs, but the problem is that most are theached that chairs has four backs, and one leg.
