Okay, I'm a 50 year old male with what I believe to be eczema.

I have been to a dermatoligist with no real help. He did the patch test and infomed me of couple a things I am allergic to as to avoid in detergents and shampoos, which I have. I am allergic to lanolin.

I have been on a strict Cetaphil soap and hand creme for well over a year.

I am currently enduring the worst episode yet of this skin condition.

I only get this rash on my fingers, although they are showing up this time in my upper palm areas.

It starts out as small white headed blisters that are very painful to the touch. They spread rather fast and break open where the skin is crusty with small open sores. The blisters are extremely tender to the touch and are all over my fingers.

Nothing has helped this condition. I have suffered with this for 4-5 years. Subsided over the last year with the Cetaphil regime but is back worse than ever.

Going back to my primary care physician tomorrow and probably a dermatologist later in the week.

Not much hope.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Regards,

Larry Stanley

Try one dose, 3 pills, of sulphur one m once, avoid camphor, and do not use cortisone salvae or ointments, wash with olive oil.
Works two months.

GARY. YOU THINK OF THE METALS IN THE COINS?
Metalallergy, nikcel?

As strange as this may sound, one of the items I am allergic to is nickel.

No, not strange at all, cause you dont use pincers to take up money.
Confirms sulphur.
And lanolin, is a component of wool,five remedies covers that, combined with eruptions fingers, it gives sulph, and the nickel allergy confirms then sulph.

Many metals may cause this including Aluminium ........Tin, nickel , silver, mercury

Maybe you are sensitive to many

Sulphur isbut you may need to help the liver too

When the totality of symptoms are taken, then the correct remedy can be chosen by the skilled Homeopath. This should sort out the TOTALITY of symptoms, unless there are layers...then on to the next remedy...and so on.....

Don't get caught up on Disease names - BIG mistake in understanding Homeopathy!

So, GM, if there happened to be liver problems - would it not be sorted by a remedy?

Chops, of course you are right, besides which sulphur is a big liver remedy anyway.

No need for anything else in this case until reassessment in two months, as stated earlier by the expert.
