I was studying my postgraduate M.C.A degree at that time.My relationship with some of college class mates was not good.They were Jealous of me and tried something to interrupt me from scoring good marks.My financial condition was good.I struggled to overcome such problems and scored with good marks,but I had enemity with them.I am unmarried and I don't think it as a problem for me and never worried for it.
I answered you something related to my emotions in question no.6 and I need not say that I am emotionally upset.
Is Lichen Planus caused by only Emotional Factors or by Fungus,Bacteria and other Microbes.
The last medicine which I took for my skin problem is Sulphur 1M as told by a pharmacist.I took 5 doses of it,like one dose in a week for 5 weeks.But got no response.
I think I answered to your question.If you need any further information on this I'll answer you.

1.What makes the itching better e.g. applying cold water, hot water etc.
I apply Steroid on my affected skin part which is Clobetasol Propionate Cream which reduces itching greater.
If I take Allercet 10 Mg,then itching stops and problem gets better.
2.What makes it worse
If cold water is splashed on the affected skin part,sometimes I get itching.I say this because I have noted it.But it won't get worse.
Lastly, I took some doses of Sulphur 1M as told by a pharmacist here in chennai.
I told you these as I have noted it.

So cold water worsens the itching?
What improves it without using medicines? Think & reply
Which date did you take the Sulfur 1M, last dose and did you notice any changes in anything
fitness last decade
1.So cold water worsens the itching?
If there is no itching,the cold water does'nt increases it.Cold water which I meant is the water at room temperature.Lastly, the dermatologist prescribed me Fluconazole 150 Mg tablet as it is an anti-fungal medicine.I take 2 tablets once in a week.
2.What improves it without using medicines?
I think emotions takes a part here though I have no proof.If I feel happy i.e if I don't think about the problems I faced I never get itching.I am not sure about this.But I suspect that itching may happen if I am going to get new problems.
3.Which date did you take the Sulfur 1M, last dose and did you notice any changes in anything
I think Sulfur 1M & Sulphur 1M are same. Totally, I have taken 5 doses of Sulphur 1M like one dose in a week.So far, I have taken it for 5 weeks and then I stopped it.I took the last dose on 03/04/2015.
Initially,I got some reduction in itching on the skin part.But after the last dose I got 3 new papules on my leg in the last week.So I stopped it.But it increased blood circulation in my legs and thus increased my penis erection.I took Allercet 10 Mg along with Dapsone 100Mg in the last week to stop itching.
