Sebaceous scalp cyst +hairline hairloss
The cysts (2) began so tiny about 30 yrs. ago at age 33. They are on each side of the head near the top. I used to insert hair combs on the very spots. They are now the size of a smallish grape. No redness or pain, just a bother. Haven't read good things about surgical removal. In the last 2 years I have also lost about 1/2 inch of my hairline in the top front. Generally: I sleep very well, get exercise, fresh air, mostly organic fruits & vegetables, little meat,herb & black tea (1-2 cups a day),dairy as yogurt. 5'3' tall, 115 lbs.Smooth skin,shoulder length hair is good condition,air dry,no products, shampoo about 2 times a week.Tend to nervousness,long ago bladder & kidney problems (cystitis,1 time kidney stone).Allergic reaction to sulfa drug for those problems yrs. ago.

Thank you so much for the fast response, Kadwa. Today I have ordered the Thuja 30C. Will take as instructed and will reply after the recommended 15 day course.
texastee last decade
Oh, my. Now that I read the instruction more carefully I see that. At this posting I have taken a total of 8 doses (2-1/2 days). I will stop immediately. Last night before bed I noticed flashing light in the left eye when I blink. Today I have grey floaters in the left eye. Have I done harm or just overdosed & this will go away? Thank you.
texastee last decade
Kadwa, I realize my 15 days has not concluded, however, I have been doing more research & wish to report the following: I still have a few 'floaters' in the left eye but the flashes are gone. I see no change in the scalp cysts. I am wondering: research on your site for Calcarea fluorata addresses several other symptoms that I have. These are subcutaneous palpebral cysts, limbs-arthritic nodules, scar tissue, and whitlows. All are somewhat mild but noticeable. Do you think this remedy is indicated? Thank you for your consideration.
texastee last decade
Kadwa, I forgot to mention that my fingernail cuticles, with which I have had hardness,cracking, hangnails,etc. for many years, have healed & are normal! This happened in just a few days from beginning the thuja.I am thinking that perhaps stopping dring coffee (even though it was only 2 cups a day) may have contributed. That is amazing & welcomed. Thank you.Also, I am still having a bit of pressure in the head (like a mild headache) on the left top of my head-the side of the oldest cyst. Could the thuja be working to bring it out? Thanks.

We will give thuja more time to act. It is a remedy that acts for a long duration. It is good that you are doing research. Please submit the following information after a week, so that we can select the indicated remedy.

Kadwa, I still do not see my second try at posting the answers to all the questions. I used Wordpad & copied & pasted to the reply section. I don't understand why they are not being received. Can you help?
texastee last decade
i think that word pad should not be used as it formats the letters with special characters behind the scene. You should copy your matter from word pad to note pad. You should do the necessary formatting and then put it on the reply box and send.
♡ kadwa last decade
Kadwa, Thnak you for letting me know about Wordpad. I don't have Notepad on this computer so I'll do this online.
I am female, age 63.
1. My main suffering has changed somewhat as I learn more about homeopathy. I began with the sebaceous scalp cysts (2) that I would like to be rid of. They are not inflammed.
2. But now I see I also have a touch of arthritis (mostly left thumb joint) & upper left arm. These may be from golf.
3. Mentally I am sometimes slightly depressed, but generally keep a positive attitude. Am prone to nervousness. I've now quit all coffee, but I do drink 1-2 cups of black (weak) tea a day. Also herb teas & water. No sodas. 3-6 oz. of red wine about 6 PM.
4. At my worst I am nervous, even a faster heartbeat, and apprehensive of immediate future. Also, I will have no hunger, & possibly loose bowels.
5. The cysts, 30 yrs. ago; the arthritis about 10 yrs. ago. Can't connect to event or disease.
6. Worst time of day is late afternoon.
7. Arthritis (or perhaps it is rhumatism?) aggravated by damp weather, approaching storm. Cysts not noticeable.
8. I think all my sufferings are related to external changes, such as travel, noise, traffic,loud music.
9. Feel better in hot, dry weather.
10. General mental: mild, agreeable (many times too much),nervous,introspective, personally religious, an achiever (school grades, golf tournaments).a)apprehensive before a storm, sometimes depressed. b)Don't like being consoled.c)Sensitive to loud music,flashing lights d.) used to pick my cuticles but I think thuja has corrected that.e)I don't have a lot of friends but I enjoy them & help them when I can.I don't have much family left & I regret not having more & closer family relationships.My husband of 42 years is an achiever but even more than I am. He & I have been married for 42 yrs. & it is always interesting & never boring. He keeps me on my toes & is very intelligent.
11. Fears as earlier. No recurrent dreams.
12. Crave sweets & sometimes salty. Like hot food in cold weather,cold in hot. Chicken, avocado,swiss cheese,alfalfa sprouts on whole wheat bread is a favorite sandwich.
11.Fears? roller coasters, lightening, ocean-deep,dark water.
12. Food cravings vary between sweet,as in hard candy,& chocolate to salty like tortilla chips.
13. Thirst is normal.
14. Hunger is normal.
15. My body absolutely & violently rejects clams & probably any shellfish. I eat a 'Leviticus diet' now with no pork, shellfish, etc. I have had severe food poisoning 3 times from clams. The last time it was clam juice used in stuffed mushrooms which I thought were vegetarian.
16.Sweat normal, mostly on trunk.
17. Bowels mostly normal. Occasional constipation or the reverse with upsets.
18. Sleep well. 8 hrs. Mostly fetal on right side.
19.Sexual desires satisfactory. Well suited to my husband.
20.I think I am different from others in that I am more serious & have to be learning something all the time. Example: not much pure pleasure reading.
21.Took a sulfa drug in my 20s for urinary problem. Big rash on chest after a few doses. Have not taken again. A shot of adrenalin for allergies in my 30s caused excessive heart beating.
22. Major diseases in family have been heart, depression,allergies.
23.I am 5'3' tall,120 lbs. Slim,delicate looking. Brownish-hazel eyes,Light gold brown hair with some grey. Energetic & basically healthy.
24. I went through menopause with not too many hot flashes, etc. about 10 years ago. Younger my periods were regular, heavy,little pain. I have no children.
I hope this is enough information. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you.

Kadwa, I have completed the 10 days of natrum sulph and calc phos. To my amazement, 2 days ago I noticed a fluid filled, non-irritated cyst that I have had below the right thumb on the inside of the wrist is gone! I have had this (with no problems, for about 5 years. I was told it was a ganglia.
Concerning the 2 cysts on my scalp: The one on the left feels 'heavy' & sometimes there is a slight sensation of a headache radiating from the cyst to my left forehead. This cyst has a bit of awareness sensation. I notice nothing like that on the right scalp cyst. Both are still present with only the changes noted above.
By the way, all floaters & flashes in the left eye are gone. (A result of the thuja).
Any further advice is appreciated.
Thank you.

I apologize for taking so long to reply. I had to order the silicea. When received I took as instructed & noted result after 10 days. Sorry to say that I saw no changes in anything. No change in the cysts, or the hairline hair loss. Actually no changes in anything - bad or good. I'm not sure what is next. There are so many remedies and I can't buy all of them. I will keep reading & will be pleased to receive any further suggestions.
