This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Yes it can cause problems, if it is not needed. Dosage is tailored to each individual patient - some people need 1 dose, some people need many doses. It depends on many factors - degree of tissue change, level of sensitivity, how accurate the prescription is.

Stop the remedy. This is a very inappropriate dosage. You are being asked to take 90 doses of Lycopodium 30c. It is highly unlikely that you need so much.
Typically, I would give no more than 3 doses IN TOTAL of this potency at one time. While some patients may need more or less of any remedy, 90 doses is excessive.
Has this doctor even given you guidelines on what to look for, when to stop, what an aggravation is, what to do if new symptoms develop?
