Skin Rosecea - Help!

Hello Doctor,
We would greatly appreciate some professional advice with my partners rosacea. There are very predominant bright red spider veins across her cheeks(interspersed with some black and red moles). There is also some brown staining around the cheeks. The skin is neither hot nor cold and does not itch. She has had this for a number of years but it recently became worse after the birth of our second child (5 months ago). We used to think the sun made it worse, but now it just seems to be permanent. The skin around her chin, arms and belly is flabby though she eats a well balanced diet, low in sugar, and drinks plenty of herbal teas throughout the day. Her lower body is thin. She suffers from white dandruff and itchy scalp. In the six years we have been together she never has been ill (with the exception of migraines).. really! She is taciturn and generally very easy going. However, if you push her into an unwanted conversation she can become quite irritated and angry. After an altercation she can be sulky and obstinately unwilling to appease or reconcile for hours or days. She finds it exceeding difficult to apologize (very rare) and feels much indignation and anger should her apology not immediately be accepted. She is not ambitious in the slightest and is most happy leaving a simple sedentary life at home with the children. Her feet have a lot of hard skin on the soles, and her large toe often suffers with a black fungus under the nail. The soles of her feet sometimes become hot and sweaty in the night and she has to uncover them. Her hands and her back also sweat very easily. She does not get chilly. She has never liked too much heat/sun. A while back she took nat mur for her frequent migraines (particularly after being over exposed to the sun) and an addiction to salt. She has never had a migraine since and no longer consumes much salt. We would very much appreciate any advice regarding the rosacea since her cheeks are intensely coloured.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
The vascular prominence on the cheeks is generally due to genetic traits worsened by sedentary lifestyle it is difficult to say how much this can be relieved.

However, if you want to take a chance I can try my best. But I want to make few points clear. I can make out that you have studied Homeopathy but do not know how you use medicines. I generally prescribe very few doses often, a single. You will have to follow my instructions properly and wait patiently. More importantly, at this stage I don't know if her migraine was cured or suppressed. So, there are chances that the migraine might return (actually for good) during the course of treatment. But generally it will subside but before which you need to keep patience.

Well, if all that appears fine to you you may confirm the same after which I will prescribe. I may need some more details also.

Thank you kindly for your response. (Yes, I do love to study homeopathy but am a novice and do not have experience in prescribing!). It is very interesting to hear that her migraine may have been suppressed. We would be greatly appreciative of your efforts. Please let us know what further information you require. Many thanks.

Well in that case, please answer following questions.

How is her general inclination for house chores? Does she do it willingly or she prefers to avoid?
Was her migraine one sided? If so, which side?

Does she tolerate cold well?

Generally most of her health problems are on right side or left side of her body?

How is her thirst for water?

Any other unique features of her health, nature?

1.How is her general inclination for house chores? She is not naturally tidy, and prefers to procrastinate on chores.
2.Does she tolerate cold well? Yes, she does not get cold easily and is not adversely effected by the cold.
3. Generally most of her health problems are on right side or left side of her body? Her migraines would always begin on the right side.
4. How is her thirst for water? She is often thirsty and desires cold water or cold beer.
5. Any other unique features of her health, nature? She is taciturn. She does not hold interest in thinking about or discussing things on an intellectual or academic level. She prefers simplicity. If offended she remains quiet. If pushed she will loose her temper then revert to not speaking and will be tearful. Once offended she will feel indignation and sulkiness for days and is unable to reconcile (she easily feels that she is a victim). Her comfort zone is the home where she is very calm, happy and leisurely paced. Her ankles and wrist make snapping noises. Never suffers from a cold/flu. Does not like milk. Already mentioned: dandruff (white itchy), black fungi under toe nail, sweats easily on hands, feet, nose. Doesn't like the heat.

Ok...good, wait for prescription.
 
DrKulkarni 7 years ago
Please start with following prescription:

1. NATRUM MURIATICUM 200C , pills (buy minimum qty dispensable at the shop), take 5 pills (for one dose) give 2 doses 3hours apart in the evening after 5pm for only one day, (NO EXCESS DOSES PLEASE).
Nothing else to eat or drink 1 hour before and 1 hour after the doses.
(This dose works for several days. So, keep patience).

Do’s & don’ts:
1. Stay away from Strong odors.
2. Do not touch medicines or spill them. Use the cap of container (of same medicine) to transfer the medicines.
3. Place the prescribed dose under the tongue and let it dissolve. Keep the dose for at least 2 minutes in mouth.
4. Keep medicine containers airtight, away from direct sunlight, heat, any smell and children.
5. Avoid strong smells and odors AFAP.
6. Do not take any other medicines for any health problems. Most symptoms go as they come within 24-72 hours. Do not apply any cream etc for skin itching / eruption, if any.
7. Report any problems & seek appropriate advice.
8. Otherwise report progress after 1week.

I only know peptides can be helpful in skincare so maybe Creative Peptides can be used as a reference.

Well, that was good reporting but finally it's not very clear where she stands now as compared to position before taking medicines.

One thing I feel now is that her migraine is on the way to cure.

Now, only wait and watch.
