1. Name - I prefer to keep my identity discreet so I have emailed you my name.
2. Age - 27 years old.
3). Sex - Male
4). Height and Weight - 5ft 8" and 59kg.
5). Main problem - have been consistently getting very small yellow tiny pus filled spots on my face. The areas that are mostly affected are chin and sides of nose. However I do sometimes get them on my cheeks but not as much. Regardless, all spots can easily burst with a piece of tissue and a small yellow residue leaks onto the tissue. The ones on the side of the nose bleed when they popped.
6 Any other problem - when I was 11 years old, I was diagnosed with a kidney problem called Nephrotic Syndrome. This basically means I was losing protein from my body as it was being passed in my urine. I would then suffer from severe swelling on my legs, eyes and head (edema). I was consequently prescribed steroids to treat the condition. I would be on steroids for about a year and near towards the end of my treatment, I would suffer another relapse and then the doctor would have to put me back on the high dose of steroids (60mg of prednisolone). This was happening to me quite often so I subscribed to www.askdrhshah.com who treated my Nephrotic Syndrome. He prescribed me Kali Carb 200c and I took this for almost 4 years and never suffered a relapse during those 4 years. I have stopped his treatment. Last time I had a relapse was almost 2 years ago but I bought this on myself by accidentally putting too much salt in my food. However, at the moment I feel like my kidney problem has come back again because my legs are currently swelled up. This started to happen when I started taking the new homeopathic remedy and my urine is quite frothy so I believe I am leaking protein. But this time, I feel the swelling is quite different and is not genuine cause of my kidney problem but more to do with the effects of this new homeopathic remedy I am currently taking because the swelling is not getting worse but some days it gets better. I had eczema when I was little on my arms and behind my knees but this was cured through homeopathy. I am currently suffering from very severe dry hands because I was my hands maybe too much than a normal person. My hands are so dry that they look like a 80 year old's hand despite being only 27. They have small tiny cuts and bleed.
7 The problem is better or worse from (heat/cold/movement/rest/pressure) - Spots get worse the following morning after gym and after masturbation. Also, washing my face too much (2 times or more) will make it worse. Problem can get worse if I keep thinking about the spots, keep getting up and looking in the mirror. Spots are worse when I wake up in the morning. Spots are disappear after having a shower in the morning but 2 hours later, spots come back.
8.Appetite and thirst (excessive/ normal/less) with likes and dislikes for different tastes and food.
Thirst is normal. I drink at least 1.25 litres of water per day.
Appetite is ok. I like warm food. Do not like cold food. I eat chicken every day either through lunch or dinner. I do not eat sweets, I do not eat chocolate and I do not eat cheese. I do not drink fizzy drinks (although I would like to) because of my kidney problem so I have to avoid carbonated drinks. I do not drink alcohol either. I avoid spicy food and greasy food because I consciously think it can make my spots worse
10 quantity and quality of sleep with preffered position. - I get enough sleep, minimum 8 hrs. Quality of sleep is good. I like to sleep on my stomach with my hands underneath the pillow. Sometimes I like to sleep on my right side. I cannot sleep on my back, don't like this.
11 dreams if any - they vary. Sometimes dream about my old school friends.
12 Perspiration (how much and where) - I do not perspire, even when I go to the gym I do not sweat unless I push myself to the extreme. Even in crowded places (i.e the tube) i do not sweat. My armpits are very clean.
13 Stool (hard/soft/normal) and frequency - stools are soft. I go to the toilet once a day. However, when I excluded milk from my diet, I suffered from constipation. When I started milk again, constipation disappeared. Apparently, I am allergic to milk as I did a food test and so I stopped milk. But then I got constipated and started to develop spots on my forehead. I then decided to start milk again and I no longer feel constipated and my forehead has cleared up.
14 Urine (quantity/colour/frequency) difficulty if any.
First 2 urine of the day is quite smelly and dark yellow but as I drink water throughout the day, the urine becomes light yellow and doesn't smell. However, at the moment I noticed my urine has been consistently yellow despite drinking plenty of water. I believe it is the current homeopathic remedy that is doing this to me because before, when I drink plenty of water, my urine comes out like water but this is not been happening since starting this new remedy.
15 Describe yourself as a person - I am a very clean hygienic person. I am intelligent and smart. Have a good job, a degree and a masters degree. I do not have a social life and I don't have hardly any friends. I spend most of my weekends just with immediate family. I feel that I am a good looking person but could be even more better looking if I had not spots on my face. I am not pursuing the things I want to do in life (i.e. that is an effort to make friends, get a girlfriend or talk to girls etc) because I am conscious about my spots. I do not like it when my brother goes out with his friends on the weekend because I then get bored and lonely without him. I do not like it when people criticise me or have a go at me. I get easily offended.
16 Opinion of other people close to you about yourself (extremely helpful to the doctor if provided) - some people say I have a split personality. I talk very fast. Open up to people too easily, trust people too quickly. People say I think about my skin and spots too much.
17 Family medical history (parents/ grand parents/brothers/sisters) - dad has suffered few strokes, a heart attack and has high blood pressure. He is boarder line diabetic. Mum suffers from menopause. She had her appendix taken out with one of her ovaries long time ago.
18 Treatment taken in the past. Steroids for kidney problem. kali carb prescribed by a homeopath for my Nephrotic syndrome. arsenicum album, baptisia, silicea, psorinum, sulphur, hepar sulphur, calcarea sulphurica and echinacea purpurea.
19 present medication if any - currently taking a homeopathic medicine which my current homeopath has prescribed to me. I do not know what it is called.
20. any other information you would like to provide - I am only taking one homeopathic remedy at the moment. I put three drops of this in a quarter of water. I have only been on this remedy for nearly 2 weeks though I only take it every other day and not every day at night before I go asleep. So far this medicine seems to be working ok. There are less spots appearing now and the skin looks more healthy, calm and glowing. But the only problem is that it is having an adverse effects on my legs as it is causing my knees and thighs to swell up really badly and also my back. These are the exact symptoms of my kidney problem so I am wondering if this medicine is actually having adverse effect on my kidney? Also, another problem with this medicine is that I need to rub my face 3 hours after having a shower (so it would be around 11am - 12pm) because it feels a little oily and I may need to break one or two small yellow spots but after that it is fine for the rest of the day but I may need to keep rub my cheeks and forehead couple of times but it's not like before where I was scared to touch my face because of the fear of getting spots.
I like to sit in a stationary car that is nice and warm (not hot but warm) because it feels peaceful and quiet and listen to music inside. I could sit in there for 2 hrs and just relax.

have you stopped taking medicines? buy graphites 200 but don't take now.
♡ telescope 9 years ago
First of all, thank you very much.
No, I haven't stopped my current homeopathic remedy. I will need to discuss this with my current homeopath.
How confident do you feel that graphite is the correct remedy for me? I have taken so many remedies and none of them seemed to work permanently so this is why I am asking you this question. I hope you do not mind.
Thank you.

yes, you should consult your doctor first. people who consulted many doctors or had taken much medicine without any benefit tend to lose faith in doctors or even in the system. when somebody prescribes a homeopathic medicine it is a piece of subjective judgement. the prescriber may think that he is right but in reality the prescribed medicine may not be related to the case at all. so how confident I am does not matter at all. you cannot know the correctness of any prescription without trying it.

Hello Telescope,
I have bought graphites 200c but I have not taken it yet because since I last spoke to you, my kidney problem has got worse. I am leaking +++ protein and my legs are swollen as result of this.
As you already know, I suffer from Nephrotic Syndrome. I mentioned in my previous posts that my current homeopath had given me a new remedy for my acne. He told me I need to put 3 drops in water and take it every other day. This had initially cleared my skin but straight away I felt my legs swell. I told my doctor that this medicine is affecting my kidney I think but he said no it is not true. However, we have stopped this medicine since the leakage of protein. I asked my doctor what was this medicine called and he told me it is homeopathic echnicea.
Is echnicea safe for people with kidney problems? I strongly feel it was this remedy that caused me to have another setback in my kidney problem.
Thank you

I do not know. I have never used it. the medicine has very few symptoms . it has fine eruption on face. it also has some action on the kidneys. it may have caused your problem but you cannot be sure unless you stop the medicine and see if that helps.

Hi Telescope,
Thank you very much for your response.
Anyways, I have stopped all treatment for my skin.
I am now taking Kali Carb 210c 4pills 3 times a day.
I noticed the tiny yellow pus filled spots on my face have calm down and improved.
Before, I was getting a lot on the sides of my nose and on my chin. Now I do not get them here.
Currently, only my right cheek near towards the centre has 4-5 small tiny yellow pus filled spots.
Do you advise me to take anything for this or leave alone?
Kind Regards
