eczema and temperature modalities

[J.VENKATASUBRAMANIAN]

Dear Merrilee and Group,

Merrille wrote:
"A common symptom to eczema is hot water amel. Persons with eczema of
the hands will often scald them to get relief from the itching. The
scalding bursts the minute vesicles and itching for the moment is
relieved. However the eczema is then worse as the skin itself has
been "burned" and will dry and crack.."

Your reply made me further search and the results are as follows. A book by
Douglass 'Skin Diseases' (pub 1898) contains a section on eczema and
its hom treatment. I compiled a repertory of sorts.
dry warm agg: apis,bov,con,lyc,sars
dry warm amel: ars,helleb,hep,kali c,petr,sep,sil
warm bed agg: caust, clematis, ledum,merc s,psor,sulph
wet warm amel: ars,bov,sep,sil,thu
hot room agg: hyd
wet warm agg: calc a,carbv,clem
change of temp agg: ran b
dry cold: amel: lyc,thu
uncovering amel: lyc
wet cold amel: apis,graph,lyc
wet cold agg: ant c,dulc,graph,hep,sep,sulph,thu
dry cold agg: dulc,hep,kalic, rhus t( on head),thu
open (cool?) air agg: calcc,helleb,hep,petr,sep
open (cool ?) air amel: aur,barc,dulc, staph

Hope it is useful.
