     Dr.G. Suresh leading practitioner and academician answers.

     After going through the details given about your patient with eczema and warts, I feel that you have prescribed logically on the basis of his entire symptomatology. Still there seems to be some obstacle preventing him from getting the optimum relief.

     Studying the case with the information given I found two other medicines would be more suitable for the given totality – Calc carb and Sulphur. Both these scroe quite high during repertorization – both with the generals and including the particulars of the case.

     Keeping in mind the patient’s past history of jaundice and scalp eczema as well as the fact that it would definitely help overcome the miasmatic obstacle, I would suggest you to give him a dose of Sulphur first. After the effect of Sulphur has been completed, you may get a clearer picture leading you either to Calc carb itself or some other more suitable remedy, which should take him further.
