psoriasis in child

Rochelle · Post by **Rochelle** » Wed Mar 14, 2007 11:22 pm

I really don't know where to go with this case. Please ask any questions, make suggestions for remedies I can research or any thing else helpful. I have not prescribed as yet and Mum has given permission for me to post this.
Rochelle
------------------
I first saw this child, then age 5 in October 02 as her Mum wanted her on my books after her previous homeopath (my good friend and supervisor) died. From that consultation:-

Pregnancy fine, birth overdue. She was induced because there was merconium appearing in the show. Delivered by Caesarean. Breast fed until 17months. Health was good other than colic between 6-8pm for a few months. Was taken to the homeopath for teething

Teething - average to slow

Walking- over 1 year

Talking -average

She was prescribed Puls 200 at 1 year, Bell for fever and when she had Rubella she had Calc 30 and stayed on that virtually ever since. She was given Calc Sulph at age 3 for jealousy after she had a rash when her brother was born and the same for Chicken pox. She was then given Calc 200 when she had a white tongue with a red tip and Ars when ulcers near her lips. This was all from her previous homeopath. I did not prescribe at that time. She appeared laid back then and still is.
I next saw her age 8 because she was "run down". She has had a cough and then red blotches appeared. Mum gave her Calc 30 which got rid of the cough. The eruption went away when Mum cut out dairy. I prescribed Calc 200. After the Calc she went droopy like a recent bug then felt better. 2 weeks later she had a tickly cough, headaches - the modalities were Sulphur which I gave in a 30 C - she got better. I saw her next June 06 - now age 9 because she has had headaches and a sore throat, can't get to sleep because thinking of too many things. Calc 200.
I last saw this child in September 06 when Mum brought her to me because she has odd spots on her body with silvery flakes which her dad thinks maybe the start of the psoriasis that he has. It started when she went back to school after the holidays. Other than that she appeared more confident than when I saw her in June and has stopped going into her mum's bed when she couldn't sleep when she was excited about what was happening the next day. She was sleeping well. I prescribed a Calc 1M.
14th March 2007

She fell down the stairs a month ago and hurt her coccyx. Mum gave Arnica. It got better but thinks it maybe getting slightly worse again.
The Calc 1M she had 6 months ago changed the psoriasis into bigger circular eruptions on her left arm (not the joints). The eruptions are circular, red with silvery dry scales about the size of a very large coin and on some of the scales look yellowy but this may be because of ointment dad put on once. They itch sometimes, no discharge and can be sore. We don't know at the moment if it is winter /summer. Sometimes when then are sore she will put cold water on them to soothe it. No modalities I could get out of her.
She feels fit and well in herself .
Her lips look dry and red.
She arrived with a mild headache inside the vertex. She couldn't describe it. (I EFT'd it away!!)
She is still not eating dairy.
I decided to retake the case.
She is tall for her age, average build, with a pale freckly skin. She has a couple of birthmarks which look like naevi .
She is artistic, creative, kind, generous and patient and still very laid back.
She is obsessed with dogs at the moment - drawing them.
She likes company but will also go to her bedroom on her own.
Not sensitive to music and not into dancing.
Fears - none that we could find- not bothered being in the house on her own.
Food - no real likes- desires bananas, or dislikes except Brussels sprouts.
Gets car sick sometimes- can't read in a car.
She is chilly
Knows her own mind. Consolation amel.
The strange thing is that when I ask this child a question she can't give me an answer. She just says nothing and if I push her too much she will dissolve into tears. (she has done on previous occasions) It is as if she doesn't know the answer. Mum says she is very clever at school and there are no problems there. Mum phoned me back when she got home to try to explain to me that she thinks she doesn't answer straight away because she can't think , and feels put on the spot and her mind goes blank. Mum says that she herself can get like this. Mum also says that she is not such a cuddly affectionate child as she was.

MIND; CONFUSION of mind; concentrate the mind, on attempting to (K14, SI-167, G12) (Concentration; difficult) (13) : ambr., androc., asar., calad., gels., hydrog., mez., nat-c., nat-m., nit-ac., olnd., ran-b., staph.
Interesting that several skin remedies in this rubric.
I aggravated once with sulphur in early days and Sulphur iod 6c helped resolve case but she was a hot sulphur child.
?? a bowel nosode in 6c to help . Will keep thinking about it. Jean

Thanks I will look into that lot. I perfectly agree with the Hypericum for
the coccyx but think I need to sort the psoriasis out first or do you think
differently?

Puls did cross my mind I will look into it again. I dismissed Petro when I
looked into it because of the mentals. I don't know Cup acet but will
research it today.

Hi Rochelle,
Personally I'd think to address a recent trauma (the coccyx)
first--unless you want to go for a "the right remedy will deal with
every issue" approach.

Other than that, here's a hesitant thought that I'd be interested in
others' feelings about... She sounds in very good shape other than the
difficulty in answering your questions and her unusual response (which
strikes me as a very "the world is so big" psoric one), and the skin,
and the chilliness. What about psorinum? (I'm not able to rep right
now, so this is top-of-the-head...)

Psorinum in a low dose came to mind as well. What do others think about addressing the coccyx issue first with one dose Hypericum 200 ? 200 because it was over a month ago?

Dear all,

Seeing how the case is psora-oriented with the Sulph-Calc link.

Can I suggest you consider Psora?

After that perhaps try again your Calc or sulph or something "halfway" like Graph.

Rochelle, the psoriasis is her reasonably healthy body kicking serious problems up to the surface, IMO. Our daughter suffers from psoriasis and I have done a good deal of thinking and reading about it from H standpoint and from conventional one. I am pretty sure psoriasis is not something you can “sort out” with any ease but a deep inner problem manifesting on the largest organ, the skin. Teresa (Northern VA)
