The ABC Homeopathy Forum
Skin Eruptions
My 15 year old niece developed red, itchy eruptions on her body about a month and a half ago. I gave her Sulphur 30c and Rhus Tox 30c over the period. No avail. Her family physician, prescribed her Permethrin 5% cream. We all know how dangerous this approach is. Can any homeopathy doctor/ expert suggest a remedy? Thanks a lot. The child is suffering so much!Nirmal

GUIDELINES FOR GIVING HOMOEOPATHIC CASE INFORMATION
It is important to describe all your problems in as much detail as you are able. One word answers and short sentences are not particularly helpful. Discuss each problem one at a time, providing (as a minimum level of detail) the following information.
1. What exactly happens?
2. Describe all sensations and pains. Each pain or sensation should be described in such a way that allows us to imagine having the same pain.
3. What causes the problem to get worse after it has started occurring?
4. What creates some relief for the problem?
5. What triggers the problem into occuring?
6. What time of the day or night does the problem occur?
7. When did the problem start? What was happening in your life at that time? Did some specific event or treatment take place just before the problem started?
Move from one problem to the next, doing the same thing. IT IS VITAL THAT YOU GIVE A COMPLETE PICTURE OF YOUR HEALTH BY PROVIDING ALL PROBLEMS YOU HAVE, EVEN IF NOT CONNECTED TO THE MAIN ONE, AND EVEN IF YOU CONSIDER IT OF LESS IMPORTANCE. You should address each problem separately using the above 7 questions as a guide.
As well as this, please describe any traumatic incidents that have taken place in your life. Discuss anything that has had a lasting impact on you mentally, emotionally or physically.
Discuss the way that you manage or deal with your problems, or any problems that occur in your life.
Discuss any patterns you have noticed in your behavior especially concerning your disease.
Discuss any part of your life where you feel stuck or unable to change and grow, especially where this occurred around the beginning of your disease, or as the disease evolved.
Describe your childhood and the kind of environment you grew up in, with reference to your relationships with your family, your school experiences, and any serious childhood diseases.
If your earlier discussions have not mentioned these already, please describe:
1. The specific foods that you crave (not just like) or hate
2. The specific drinks that you crave or hate
3. What your sleep is like
4. How the weather and the temperature affects you
5. What kinds of things in the environment you are particularly sensitive to
6. What your general level of energy is like
7. Describe your menstrual cycle
If at all possible please get your niece herself to answer these questions. Homoeopathy relies on the expressions of the patient to make prescriptions rather than relying on the observations of another person.

Thank you very much Sir, for your prompt response. I have forwarded the message to my niece and both her parents. I will have my niece respond personally to the questions you addressed. Thanks, once again.

Age/Sex/Country/Climate
I'm 14 years old. I'm female and live in USA. Since we're in Chicago and its early spring, the temperatures have ranged from 40* F- 55* F.
Current complaint - from how long
Red, itchy, mosquito bite-like bumps appearing on my body. Since March 10, 2011.
Current medicine you are taking
My aunt gave me Sulphur 30c and Rhus Tox 30c in the beginning. That did not show any improvement. So she stopped it.
Permethrin 5% cream to be applied on the was recommended by my allopathic physician.
Sign & Symptom of disease
First noticed 3 bumps on the side of my neck on March 10th. They didn't itch, but soon 3 more appeared on my left forearm and hand. By then, they ALL itched. They started spreading on both my arms, hands, face, stomach, shoulders, back, legs, and feet. They all start out the same way: I feel the need to scratch a certain place. When I look, there's a bump. The bump, over a few minutes, becomes bigger and itchy-er. Some only stay for a few days, some even longer, and then disappear. But then more show up. It's like a constant cycle.
Brief medical history
I don't have any allergies. And I don't get sick easily. I've been fever-free for about a year.
Family Back Ground
My father is 49 and does not show any signs of the eruptions I have. My mother is 41 and she is perfectly fine as well. My 6 year old brother, on the other hand, woke up this morning (April 16, 2011) and had 2 eruptions on his cheek. They look like how mine did when I first got my eruptions on my neck area. They're red, too. His don't itch. Keep in mind; mine didn't itch when I first started either.
Education and Nature of Profession of Patient
I'm in 9th grade.
Desires and aversion of food
I've been eating a lot of chicken lately. Especially with hot sauce. I eat it 5 times a week and look forward to eating it. Over spring break, I didn't eat it for an entire week. I still got the eruptions so I highly doubt the chicken is the cause. But other than that, I've had no other particular desires for food.
Mind-behavior, anger, irritability, hurries, impatientÂ…etc... How you are peculiar from other person, public speaking or not.. You can describe all the detail about behavior, love and affection. For a good prescription mental detail is must be.
I've been stressed because of schoolwork and personal relationships with friends. I've also been a little irritable. I've been quiet lately too. I'm not as loud and cheerful as before these eruptions. I've been feeling very emotional these days, as well.
What makes it worse and what makes it better
The Permethrin 5% cream was given to me by my doctor in hopes that it would rid my body of the mite she believes is in there causing, what she thinks, is Scabies. But the cream does not help. Nothing makes it worse and nothing makes it better. The eruptions come and go constantly.
Thirst/Tongue/diabetic
I'm not diabetic. And I don't drink enough water. I only drink about a liter a day.Age/Sex/Country/Climate

Hello again,
This is the response my niece sent in her own words. I also want to send the pictures of eruptions she sent me earlier. Can you suggest me how can I do it?
Thanks again for your help, if there are anymore questions please let us know.
