Severe Plantar Atopic Dermatitis
Hello,I am a 43 year old female who has been suffering from Plantar Atopic Dermatitis for just over one year. I have tried topical steroid creams and ointments with little to no improvement and with serious side effects. I currently am undergoing bi-weekly phototherapy sessions (relatively safe narrowband UVB (NB-UVB) light treatment) I have seen a very small amount of improvement. My doctor would like me to use tar ointment but I have decided against it as I wish to avoid more side effects.
Approximately 2 years ago I saw a team of homeopaths as part of a homeopathy school training program. The remedy that was prescribed to me then was the constitutional remedy Sepia. The program is no longer operating and in the last few years I have taken the odd dose of Sepia 30c as well as a one time dose of Sepia 500c. I took the 500c dose more than a year ago. I have seen a homeopath for my skin in the past 6 months, but the sessions were abrupt and the remedies prescribed (sulfur and silicea) were of little benefit.
I suffer from allergies, one of which is to milk/dairy. Recently, in the middle of the night, I reacted to one pellet of Sulphur 30c with intense itching of my feet. Out of desperation I took one pellet of Sepia 30c and the itching stopped for a short time and I was able to then sleep peacefully. In the 1.5 days that followed, I took one pellet of Sepia 30c 3 times per day. For the 3 days since I have been taking 8 drops of Sepia water (1 pellet of 30c dissolved in water). During this time I have noticed greater ease and more frequent bowel movements (a change from pellet-like/constipated bowel movements) I have noticed a reduction in the mucous/catarrh and spastic cough that was the result of a recent illness that involved an extreme sore throat, a loss of my voice and a relentless tickling cough that kept me awake at night. I also experienced a deeper general sense of peace from anxiousness as well as a relief from depressive thoughts that come from the fatigue and loss of quality of life as a result of the dermatitis. I believe that I have also experienced a slight improvement from the itching and redness, and a lessening of the copious liquid puss. This is difficult to gauge as the inflammation comes and goes. I have also been mostly sleeping through the night aside from having to wake periodically to re-moisturize my feet to resolve the itch. I have also noticed a lessening of allergy symptoms, I am allergic to dust, and some foods. I have also experienced a lessening of general weepiness which I attribute to being able to sleep through the night.
I think the Sepia is the remedy that I need at this time. I would appreciate any thoughts or help in any way as to whether I am on the right track with Sepia. I am particularly concerned with dosage as I do not want to over dose Sepia.
Any help that could be offered I would whole heartedly appreciate!

Thank you very much.
I have ordered the remedies you prescribe and await their arrival.
I wanted to mention I have since developed a series of boils that have become infected. They originated as small pimples, about a week ago. I now have swelling in my right lower leg and ankle as the boils fail to fully heal (one continuously suppurates, one does not suppurate at all) I have one on the back of my hand that has caused it to become swollen. I found relief from the extreme pain I experienced the night previous with a 1m dose of Arnica. I have repeated that dose 3 times out of concern for the swelling as nothing else seemed to work (4 pellets dissolved in water, used all three times) Before this recent outbreak in boils, I realize that, in general, I have been experiencing swollen ankles, minus the boils. I have extremely dry skin mostly on the lower parts of my body.
Shall I still go ahead with the Kali phos and mag phos?
And, is it ok to use silicea in pellet form?
Thank you again

Is it also possible to dilute the Kali Phos and Mag Phos pellets to make a liquid remedy? I ask because, where I live, the pellets are more quickly accessible.
Thanks
Thanks
