ITCHING between scrotum and thigh area

Dear Doc,

Many months ago i described this problem, Unfortunately I couldn't find the old forum thread again.

You advised me on petroleum medication which I took 1 dose 3 times a day etc

After 7 days there was a slight difference in my problem then you recommended i take a large dose etc. At the time i didnt do this as i felt much better and over the days it disappeared.

Last night it started again all of a sudden and was really bad first there was moisture around the area then excessive unrest, burning and itching around the scrotum area. I had the old 30c tablets left so i took 4 which really helped and calmed the problem down.

I think due to my recently new job where I am driving 6-10 hrs a day its brought back the problem.

I cant remember what the higher dosage should be and how I should take the petroleum medication to completely cure me of this very very depressing and frustrating problem. Please could you recommend how and what dosage I should take again and will i ever be able to get get of this problem?

Thank you

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
please take three doses of Petroleum 30c at a gap of 4 hours for 3 days.
One dose means
If the medicine is in pills form 4 pills. Don't touch pills with hand. Use cap of bottle to take pills.
If the medicine is in liquid dilution form, 3-4 drops in some 20 ml water. Sip up slowly.
Please observe change in your symptoms for next 10-15 days. If there is no relief after 10-15 days, you should take three doses of Petroleum 200c at a gap of 4 hours on one day (not daily, only one day) and see how that affects you in the next 20 days(ie (10-15)+20 from day 1).
Please follow homeo restrictions like no coffee, no raw onion/garlic, no strong perfumes, don't eat or drink anything within 30 minutes before or after taking medicine.

Thank You Doc,

I had an operation a few years ago and had one of my testicles removed from my stomach, as it was displaced at birth. Could this be a factor causing the problem? will this medication effect anything related with that? Also since having the operation I occasionally get pain and suckling sensations from my lower left side of stomach from where it was removed.

Will this medication interfere or cause conflict with that?

Thank you!

**No. This medicine won't interfere with the issues that you are having after doing the operation. So you can go ahead.

Also since having the operation I occasionally get pain and suckling sensations from my lower left side of stomach from where it was removed.
**You should take three doses of Staphysagria at a gap of 4 hours for one day (not daily) and see whether there is any change in your symptoms for the next 10 days. It should help. Please have a gap of 5 days between taking Petroleum and Staphysagria.

One dose means
If the medicine is in pills form 4 pills. Don't touch pills with hand. Use cap of bottle to take pills.
If the medicine is in liquid dilution form, 3-4 drops in some 20 ml water. Sip up slowly.

Hi Sir, You didnt mention the potency of the medication.

Should i get staphysagria 30c?

thank you
 
spiderman99 last decade
Yes you are right. It is staphysagria 30c.

Hi Doctor,

I had the petroleum as described above (4 times a day for 3 days).

I started on friday and finished on sunday.

During this period i felt really good and had no real problems. Now it being wednesday i woke up in the morning and the problem started but it was nowhere as bad as it happened a few weeks ago. I then took a shower which initially made the area sting very slightly.

Now it feels a bit rough/tense in that area now, also i feel a slight pain from my left kidney. Since morning when i urinated it was of a orangey colour, after that when ive tried to urinate its been very broken and i get a scratchy feeling from around the scrotum which helps ejaculate the urine out.

Sometimes i have had this problem before, should i wait a few days and see if it gets better and have the staphysagria as recommend.

Thank you very much
 
spiderman99 last decade
You should give time for Petroleum to act. You can go ahead with Staphysagria to take care of other post operational problems.
 
kadwa last decade
Thank you. With all due respect sir how long do u think it will take for the petroleum to clear out of my system? Because ive just woken up like half an hour ago and ive experienced some aggravated symptoms here.
First thing i felt as soon as i woke up is like my body is completely dry off water and im about to expire, then i started getting scratching around the same area which caused me to feel really shaky and felt like vomiting. I got up and started to shake and feel really really cold and trembly. I feel dazed and confused and extremely cold. the scrotum area i feel a little moist and sensitive right now and it seems to be calming down again. Please do explain what reaction you think is taking place here as i really need some reassurance here. I dont really have any other option here nor do I have anyone else to explain this situation to as my doctor doesnt know how these medications work.

That was a very worrying experience. Is there anything i can take to tone this reaction down if gets really bad?

Thank you
 
spiderman99 last decade
i don't think that everything that is happening to you is due the remedy. There may be other factors involved into it. Anyway if you think that the symptoms that have been relieved earlier by Petroleum have relapsed you may take three doses of Petroleum 200c at a gap of 4 hours for one day (not daily). This you may take preferably after a gap of 7-10 days of taking the last dose of Petroleum 30c.

If you want to review your remedy, please copy the Questionnaire from the following thread
http://www.abchomeopathy.com/forum2.php/188925/
and post all the questions here duly answered. On that basis your remedy will be reviewed.

Please read my posts on the breathing exercises called as Anulom Vilom Pranayam and Kapalbhati Pranayam by following the links given below. Please practise these pranayams regularly for half an hour preferably in a garden early in the morning. You may practise at any other convinient time. The only restriction that you have to follow is not to do these exercises within 4 hours after meals. You can have meals not within 15 minutes after finishing these exercises.

Sir, Are you suggesting I could have blocked arteries or similar symptoms?

This breathing exercise may not be so easy to do sometimes as my nose is generally blocked. I don't know if its because it is slightly more curved then the below picture.

Sometimes I do get sharp pains coming from my heart area on which occasions when i try to breath in or out it makes the pain sharper its only by stopping n building my inhale n exhale that the problem goes away... But this doesnt happen always.

**Not at all. But these breathing exercises are good for overall hormonal balancing and for activating the internal organs. These exercises are easy to perform and won't take much time. Thatwhy i suggested. If you don't feel better after a reasonable time you may provide the detailed information. On that basis we will try to work out your remedy.

Hi Doc,

I Have developed a new problem which is very irritating. Between my buttocks, on the left side towards the top I have a large bulge which really hurts and when sitting on it, its giving a sting. Its a really firm lump. In the past its happened before a boil came, I haven't had a boil for a long time now and this doesnt seem to have a head for a boil, so i dont quiet know what this is about. Maybe because I was wearing some tight pair for trousers for a few weeks lol. Its also making me feel tired n sleepy. Please advise. I have taken petroleum & staphysagria as recommended.

As soon as i get some time i will try to complete that self diagnostics test you have recommended me to do.

Also this happens Sometimes... very few times. when standing on a tilted surface, getting up from sitting down or getting out of bed or after being in one position for a long time and then moveing I sometimes get this unbalanced feeling, like I need to hold onto something to keep me steady. Few years ago I had accident where I fell on my back and hit my lower head/neck in an ice rink. I was completely knocked out and suffered from slight bleeding and concussion. being on the ice for over 20mins knocked out I woke up in hospital. My nervous system was messed up I stayed in the hospital for a week. After this event some of my fingers felt tickles and numbness for sometime. on occasions I still get that odd tickle in my fingers, especially, more so in cold temperatures I get really strange feelings. On the topic of coldness somedays my feet become really really cold like they are in ice and it takes a long time for my feet to warm up even with a few blankets on top, Sometimes causing me problems trying to sleep.

Can you spot a common trend or problem with all these issues i have mentioned? Please do advise

Im just wondering Could all these problems be cos of this accident? As apart from this accident I have never really had any health problems and dont understand where all these problems have propped up from over the last few years. Even my left foot between the fingers i get very dry n broken skin and on the sole Its all cracked etc (even though its kind of got better after taking the petroleum i think)

Please could you advise. I dont have much time to fill out that full questionnaire but if needs be I can whenever I am next on holiday. Thank you very much for your time i totally appreciate it.

Dear Kadwa,
Pl. think of Hepar Sulph for his main problem of (itching and moisture between scrotum and thigh). Arnica to eliminate the remaining impact of the injury due to fall.

Best regards,
Pankaj Varma
 
PANKAJ VARMA last decade
Pankaj is always right. Please implement the following plan.

day 1
please take three doses of Arnica 200c at a gap of 4 hours

day 2 and day 3
please take three doses of Hepar Sulph 30c at a gap of 4 hours

Please report after 10 days.

One dose means
If the medicine is in pills form 4 pills. Don't touch pills with hand. Use cap of bottle to take pills.
If the medicine is in liquid dilution form, 3-4 drops in some 20 ml water. Sip up slowly.

Please follow homeo restrictions like no coffee, no raw onion/garlic, no strong perfumes, don't eat or drink anything within 30 minutes before or after taking medicine.
 
kadwa last decade
Thank you for your reply. Firstly there are 2 remedies with name 'arnica' in them arnica Montana and arnica montana radix. Which one should i go for?

Please could you also explain because im just having one medicine after another. Recently i have been warned by somebody that homeopathic medicines are dangerous because they have huge amounts of toxic ingredients inside them etc etc. Im not sure about this as i havent read anything myself, but id rather be safe then sorry. So please could you elaborate on this choice of medication? Im slightly concerned because now it seems the other medication i took was a waste of money and a pointless exercise which has potential like some claim to harm me. so nothing gained from it?

Im sorry to sound so negative, you guys take your time out for free to help, Then hearing the above is not a good way to repay your deeds. But i have listened to everything said so far, I hope you can understand my concerns and not get upset with what ive said.

Thank you

Dear Sir's, Could you please also tell me which hepar sulph you are referring to the: hepar sulphuris calcareum or hepar sulphuris kalinum.

Ive just like woken up in the middle of the night when i should be fast asleep cos ive had a long day. I felt extremely thirsty so as i got up to get water i was feeling kind of weak. This is something i get sometimes, I explained a more serious version of the problem in a few threads above. When i woke up the area between my thigh and scrotum was also very moist.

Will this new recommendation cure the lump i have on my buttocks as its still there and very annoying (is this related with the bigger problem i have).

Also while taking some of these homepathic tablets i get a really rushed feeling and my heart starts to beat faster and i start feeling like im going to collapse or something, im just thinking you have recommended a 200c dosage of 1 medication will i be ok with this?

I would just like these little very annoying/irritating problems to just go and i think I could do anything to get that freedom. So please do answer all my questions asap as there is this hope and i want to turn that hope into reality asap.

Thank you very much

Dear Spiderman

Homeo medicines are based on highly toxic and poisonous substances like petroleum and snake poisons. But these medicines (in 30c and higher potency) don't contain a single molecule of these substance therefore they are harmless. As i have already explained elsewhere that homeo remedies are not food supplements or medicines in pathologically significant doses. These are stimulation to vital force. So we are not asking anybody to drink a cupful petroleum or take 50 gm sulphur. So you should ask your friend who has given you the wrong information to learn homeopathic principles properly.

Whether we are wasting your money by asking you to change remedies?
**You asked that whether you should take petroleum or sulphur in your very first post. i provided you some help with remedy selection and doses. It is never our intention to waste your money. But the remedies are not so powerful that they will put an end to all your problems and make you extremely joyous. If your conditions change or symptoms change you may have to take another remedy. Nobody is paid here commission for the sales effected by the online pharmacy. The owners are not giving any suggestion. Again it is upto you to buy from here or somewhere else. You yourself has said earlier that petroleum helped you. So there is no question of wasting your money but there is no guarantee that the remedy will work. It is true that those who are giving remedy suggestions are giving some hours of their time but those who are seeking advice are putting their health at stake. So the real contribution to this forum is coming from advice seekers and we value them. As far as the status of advice seekers and givers is concerned there is no difference. All are only members. All members should read carefully the disclaimers apprearing at this site and ensure that they have understood it.

Firstly there are 2 remedies with name 'arnica' in them arnica Montana and arnica montana radix. Which one should i go for?
**arnica Montana

Could you please also tell me which hepar sulph you are referring to the: hepar sulphuris calcareum or hepar sulphuris kalinum.
**hepar sulphuris calcareum

im just thinking you have recommended a 200c dosage of 1 medication will i be ok with this?
**No we can't do that. You can have discussions with other members if you wish. We are giving suggestions to the best of our abilities.

Always remember that 'everything that is happening to you is not happening due to taking the remedy'.

These remedies are expected to act on bulge and after effects of accident.

Best Wishes.

Sir, Please do not get upset with my comments. If you place yourself in my shoes then i hope u will be able to understand my reservations. I respect and appreciate the work you guys do.

Please can I clarify one thing, because I really want 2 try this stuff especially if there is no side effects. I would like to get this right this time.

I have really thought hard as my memory isnt 2 good. The boils i used 2 get where prior to this accident, but then saying that I haven't had a boil for over a year or more now. Its just this lump which has arisen now its very very painful and irritating i dont know how im going 2 put up with it until the medication arrives. Anyway back to the boil problem could that have been because at that time i was a teenager and tried experimenting with cigarettes and had few times i had cannabis, I can remember apart from that there is nothing different which i think could av caused the boil problem. From your experience could that have been the cause? But as its no longer happening is it safe to assume the boil problem has gone and this is something else? In which case should i be taking the medication you have recommended for the boils?

I can defiantly try the medication for the accident. Because reading the profile it has a good link to some of my problems and its very annoying because some nights i just lose my sleep and other occasions i feel so weak and stuff.

Also do you think a smaller dosage would do the job or is 200c best to get the results i need?

Thank you very much sir. Im sorry if you felt offended but in this country we have a saying 'if you don't ask you don't get' so we are used to asking and being very open about our feelings.

Thank you very much.

Regards

Dear Spiderman,
The more details you give of your health probles, better is the understanding of your ailment by the prescriber.

Homeopathic analysis is based on totality of all symptoms of uneasiness. (Dis-ease....means uneasiness of the body and / or of the mind).

That is what happened in your case...your subsequent posts came out with more details that led to total picture of your disease and a more appropriate selection of the meds.

Best wishes

Pankaj Varma

Dear Spiderman

Arnica is expected to work best in higher potency in your case therefore Arnica 200 is suggested. Hepar Sulph seems to be your remedy on the basis of all other symptoms. So please go ahead with the medication and report back.
 
kadwa last decade
Thank you for your reply.

Mr Pankaj i agree with your comments totally.

Is there an email address you guys can give me in order for me to fill in that form and send it to you. I want to explain all the problems and wish to remain private. I don't mind the remedy being shared.

Can some exception be made for me to do this?

Dear Sir's, I have managed to fill in the questionnaire to the best of my ability.

Thank you very very much.

Patient ID: Sex: Age:

Male/26


1. Describe your main suffering?

Shaky/weak feeling *sometimes* when getting up from laying down or getting up while sitting on the floor.

Once in a while I suffer from moist/itching between scrotum and thigh. Very very stingy when water is applied during this time. Causes problems with sleep, become very frustrated and annoyed.

Sometimes While driving on long distances it feels like I'm about to lose conscious, try very hard to stop myself from going to sleep, during this phase my penis gets very very stiff.

My lower body from my waist down has always felt weak & malnourished. I develop fat/muscle on my upper body but my lower body is very weak, thin and unstable.

Used to get boils after every other month haven’t had this problem now for well over a year now.

In more recent days I developed a large lump on my buttocks. I went to my doctor who said its an infection, probably caused by sweat forming or something along those lines. After giving me anti-biotics and me taking them for a few days the lump has burst and its bleeding occasionally. The anti biotics have caused me lot of diarrhoea and I have also developed a cold now. Great isnt it!

Talking about the cold/flu over the last 6 months I must have had 3-4 of these. Right now its just a runny nose and stuff, but previous times during the 6 months ive had a number of flu's like muscles in pain etc
2. What other physical sufferings do you have in your body?

My left foot always has cracked skin in the underside of my foot, between my small feet finger the skin is very dry. Sometimes it becomes so dry that it starts irritating me and I need to scratch excessively.

Sometimes (only a few times over many months) I get this sharp pain to the left side of my chest while trying to take in air. The more air I take in the sharper the pain becomes. I gradually take in very small amounts in and out to make the problem go away. This problem hasnt happend now for a long time.

Sometimes light makes my vision becomes patchy, and my sight feels very weak.

The next problem is very strange and annoying. Sometimes I randomly start feeling very sick and the problem escalates until I start vomiting. I feel weak especially my eyes, my vision becomes patchy and weak. the vomiting is very bad and forceful and gives me a very very sharp chest pain. The strange thing is I can feel this huge suction/pull from my testicle while im vomiting, it feels like the cord to my testicle is pulled up or something. Soon after the vomiting I get better. During this problem I feel very cold and stuff.



3. What mental sufferings / feelings do you have associated with your physical sufferings?

My memory isn't so great, I cant remember names of things when in a conversation or generally. I also sometimes forget things unless I really make an effort to remember. Sometimes if I am delivering something and I check the house number from the car and get out to deliver it Im not sure if its the same number i read on the paper. So i need to go back and double check it again. I confuse myself and don’t stick to what I read.


4. What exactly do you feel when you are at your worst?

That I wish i didnt have these problems.

5. When did it all start? Can you connect it to any past event or disease?

Possibly over last 5-7 years I have had a lot of problems. Have had financial problems as I haven’t saved up any money have always been working and spending excessively without thinking.

Few years ago I had a accident on an ice ring, where i hit the rear of my head and fell into concussion, I was knocked out on ice for about 20mins. I woke up in hospital with warming blanket. My nervous system was completely messed up for few weeks. I had cold tickling sensations in my left arm all the way down especially in the middle part behind my left palm.

Few years before this incident I smoked cigarettes also experienced cannabis on a few occasions, After that event i remember having boils.

Also about 3 years ago I had an operation to remove one of my testicles, as one of my testicles was not where it should have been it was somewhere in my stomach. This had been displaced at birth and the problem wasn’t sorted then. So I had a key hole operation which they located it with and then removed it.

6. Which time of the day you are worst?
the moist between scrotum problem when it happens its during the night, the scratching is present at the time. The itching can also arise randomly at anytime when it does happen.

7. What are the things which aggravate your suffering and which are those which ameliorate the same?

When I get these problems I get them Prop up whenever. Nothing that I Know off. I vommiting incident usually occurs or i start getting the feeling in the mornings.

8. Do your think your sufferings have relation to any external stimuli (like, change of place) or any internal biological changes in the body, like, menses (in females)?



9. When do you feel better, during hot weather or cold weather, humid or dry weather?

I feel good in hot weather.

10. Describe your general mental set up? Are you Moody, Arrogant, Mild, Agreeable Changeable, Nervous, Suspicious, Easily offended, Quiet, Arguing, Irritating, Lazy etc.

Irritating sometimes because I talk a lot, usually people say it’s a lot of philosophy but then sometimes i talk a lot of rubbish to. I think I can be suspicious and moody sometimes. I was a very happy positive person who used to have lots of jokes and never take anything seriously. I had a long term relationship with someone which was very healthy and strong, but unfortunately because she was to scared to tell her parents she wanted to marry someone from another religion because she knew they would never allow it, she broke it off and yet still tells me she loves me. Sometimes I wonder she was just a bad idea from day one. Had I not met her I would have been mentally stronger and faced these physical effects in life with lot more strength,

- How do you feel before or during a thunderstorm?

- Do you like being consoled during your tough times?
No, I rather think of a solution to problems myself as I feel nobody really understands me.

- Are you sensitive to external stimuli like smell, noise, light etc?
lights as mentioned above,

- Do you have any typical habit or gesture like nail biting, causeless
weeping, talking to one self etc?

I don’t know if this is classed as talking to yourself, but I say like oh right we need to get this done today, we cant do that, that’s done etc etc in my mind.

- How do you feel about your friends, family, your children and especially your husband / wife?
They are all good people in there own ways.

11. What are your fears and do you dream of any situation repeatedly?
Not really

spiderman99 last decade
Sorry i forgot to add.

I get dizzy and unstable feeling when im standing on a hill or angle as such. Also if i keep my head in the same position for example while driving and then when i look left or right there is like this bone crackling noise coming from the side/read of my kneck. Never had this problem before.

For example if im driving my van and i park on a slope wen i go to the back to get stuff out and i look outside or at something in the van it feels like the van is moving or something. Its a very nervous/worrying feeling i get. I used to be a very steady and stable sort of person so this is a very annoying problem.

Thank you
