Sun Spots, Hair Loss,

I was reading on your site about breast enhancement. I gave birth to 4 kids. I am 35 years old. My youngest is 5, I breast fed all 4 of my children for over a year. My breast would go from a B to a D when full of milk/pregnant. Now they are small B and not full at all. I also have a permanent piece of skin from hemorrhoids from being pregnat/birth that won't go away.
Another issue I would like to resolve is hair loss. Oily scalp and hair doesn't fall out in clumps but sheds. I think breakage is faster than growth. Which leads to sun spots or white spots on chest shoulders and back. I think sun spots and hair are connected. Usualy happens during summer months. Applying distilled vinegar helps when consistent will go away completley. Also, when I stop taking probiotics is when the sun spots come back.
Please help with these issues.
Thank you in advance!!!

HOW TO DESCRIBE YOUR COMPLAINTS (Physical Components)

In homoeopathy, prescription is based on precise details of various symptoms from which you suffer. To tell or write to a homoeopathic physician 'I have a headache ', ' an eruption ' or “a cough” would not be enough. If you inform him 'I have headache with sharp shooting pains in the left side of the head and temple, these pains always come on when the slightest cold air strikes the head. I feel better by pressing the head very hard.” Then only you have given all the information required for making a good homoeopathic prescription. The success of the prescription depends; largely on how detailed your description of the symptoms is.
We require the following details about your symptoms.

LOCATION: Please give the exact location of sensation, pain or eruption. Also describe where the pain or sensation spreads.

SENSATION: Express the type of sensation or the pain that you get in your own words however simple or funny it may seem. You may have a sensation that a mouse is crawling or the heart was grasped by an iron hand or you may have a pain that is cutting, burning jerking, pressing. Express the sensation or pain as it feels to you. Try to explain the whole sensation in the exact way it is happening and not just the word. We need to understand the whole process of the sensation as it is happening to you.

WHAT MAKES YOU WORSE OR BETTER:

Many factors are likely to influence your complaint. Some factors may intensify it and some factors may relieve the trouble. A detailed list of the factors is given at the end. Please refer it while describing each of your troubles and indicate which factors make the complaint better or worse.

DISCHARGES: You may have a discharge from nose, ears, mouth, eyes, ulcers, fistula, eruptions on skin, private parts, etc. Please describe your discharge in detail including colour, consistency, appearance, odour etc.

1] Your Complaint:

(Use your own words as far as possible, but if you have recognized or diagnosed the condition, give this information also.) By answering as many of these questions as fully as possible, you are helping me to understand what your body and unconscious mind is conveying. This can help me find a remedy for you.)
• What is your complaint?
• When did the complaint begin?
• Where is it located?
• What sort of sensations (and emotions) do you associate with it?
When does it tend to occur (time/day)
• Does anything make it better or worse?
• How does it bother you? How is it coming in way of your day-to-day life?
• How does it feel like to have this/these problem/s?
• What is the effect of this/these problem/s on you?
• Did any event happen which caused the complaint? Describe the emotion associated with it.
• What are the other symptoms started with it, esp. mental and physical symptoms, which are not directly related to the main complaint.
• What are your reactions with it?

PLEASE ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS FOR EACH SYMPTOM/COMPLAINT SEPARATELY. DO NOT INCLUDE ALL OF YOUR COMPLAINTS TOGETHER IN EACH QUESTION eg. all questions answered for Leg Pain, then same questions answered for Migraines, then same questions answered for Panic attacks etc.

After posting on the forum I did some research about the sun spots which actually is called 'tinea versicolor' I have always struggled with getting this skin problem mostly during the hotter months of the year. I have been able to control it in the past by taking probiotics regularly. I haven't been that consistent this past year with probiotics which is why I believe it's gotten really bad this summer. I also believe that this skin condition contributes to my hair being split ended, breakage and possibly the cause of fall out. The tinea versicolor is on my chest, shoulders and back to mid back. It's wanting to travel down the center of my chest and down my back more than mid way.
Those are two issues. Don't really know how better to explain.
My other issues are separate. I believe it's a circulation issue and losing collagen. I got hemorrhoids while pregnant with my first child and a really bad one while carrying twins. After is had the twins the inflamed hemorrhoid went away but I've always had what looks like a skin tag that has never gone away. I've had consultations for surgery but feel this should be able to be healed naturally and I've heard the pain is excruciating for months afterwords.
I am also trying to plump up my breast as they have no fat or plump left after giving birth to 4 children. My breast got so large while pregnant and breastfeeding that after losing baby weight I had the skin for the larger breasts but no fat to keep them full.
I get spider veins also, leg cramps like growing pains. Here lately I've experienced some edema in one leg. Not sure if any of this is connected.
Hope this is more clear.
Thank you!

In homoeopathy, all complaints are ultimately connected. Homoeopathy is a holistic form of medicine, so we look at all complaints, and the whole person, when treating even specific diseases.

Once you have answered the questions I posted, I will get to work on making a prescription for you.
