Hi TC,

Just curious, was the sulphur prescribed on the skin factor only, or
after taking the whole person into account?

If you know the child and seen her condition, do you have the feeling
after reading the MM that sulphur fits her?

Was the diagnose of eczema giving by a doctor? many other
skin conditions match eczema.

Do one of the parents have also eczema?
Hope that you do not mind these questions, i can not offer you advice,
i was just wondering about it.

I found this a very good info site on eczema with a whole list of
things that can cause flair-ups.

its a good info page, i just would not follow their treatment advice,
instead keep believing that homeopathy can do much more then allopathic.

Hi Marleen

I will try to answer those portions that I know.

First, the homeopath usually take a full case; and as far as I know,
do a constitution prescription in this case.
Yes, I know the child personally and I do believe that Sulphur is
at least a good match, even if not perfect. She is messy, laid-back
and quite a collector of items.

I am not sure if the eczema was diagnosed by a doctor, but I am incline to
think so.
Most Singaporeans, especially parents,
fly to the doctors at the first sign of illness.
I don't know about her parent's skin history, but it is a good question to
ask.
Will let u know later.
