I really don't know why I had forgotten about Manuka honey!! However have a feeling she will be following the HH idea of Hypercal cream with tea tree although I personally don't think this will help when the tinctures haven't!!
I do have some in potency but wouldn't want to give it to her until the Staph had been confirmed.

Ulcers which refuse to heal
Re: Ulcers which refuse to heal
Dear Rochelle,
Below a few rubrics ideas in case helpful. Please try to resist
the temptation to use an acronym if possible because the UK ones are often different than elsewhere (eg what is PCO?). Thuja (sil complement); Sulph as an intercurrent? Calc? calc-f? calc-s? Any suppressed grudges or forgiveness issues (nit-ac). Is there any snake in the case? puls- better with limb up, worse with it hanging down--vipera the opposite. Carb-an---may have a peculiar hearing keynote whereby they cannot localize the source of the sound; in case that helpful.
Best always, Andy

Re: Ulcers which refuse to heal
Retake the case - how can this one person be all of these remedies.
Hepar was probably not the simillimum.

Another complicated case as per usual with mine but basically this girl has
done well on Hepar 200 as far as her M & E's are concerned and possibly with
the presenting complaint of PCO since the symptoms she was getting have
decreased and her menses is returning at 1 every 2 months.
One of her symptoms was suppurating sores - every time she cut herself this
would happen and after the first dose of Hepar she got cuts which did not
suppurate. However 2 months down the line she got a sore on the back of her
leg - she thinks after being waxed and this for the last 8 weeks has been a
suppurating sore which won't heal. We have tried Hepar 200 again once,
Gunpowder 9x (the only potency I had, Silica 30 which we thought was working
as a scab formed but then didn't hold and now she has a cut on her foot and
a papercut on her finger (this has cleared). The Ulcer as I call it has not
got any deeper or extended the diameter. She now says that it keeps forming
a blister underneath which pressure builds up and there is pus underneath so
the blister bursts and pus which can now be bloody emerges. She said the
centre where the pus is, is green in the middle. It feels swollen and when
I saw it last looks swollen around the circumference.
The Homeopathic Helpline now suggests Gunpowder 30 bd together with Pyrogen
30 bd for 5 days . I have sent for the 30 in the Gunpowder as I don't have
it and meanwhile have sent her some Merc 30 to try. M and E are fine
(other than quite rightly she is fed up with this) but she says, on me
asking if there is anything else going on, she has diarrhoea which is
unusual for her and I think could be from the Silica she has taken.
I am not that keen to do the HH suggestion and was thinking of Carbo An low
as I remember a lecturer at college who said she used it for fistulas and
leg ulcers that wouldn't heal.
Other than commenting on all the rx I have tried does anyone have any
suggestions how to heal this leg and foot sores. We have also tried
Calendula/Echinacea/hypericum MT topically to keep it clean and i think
that's why it hasn't got any deeper. I then decided to cut the Calendula in
case it was trying to heal with the pus still underneath. The HH has told
her to put an inch of Hypercal cream on with 2 drops of Tea Tree oil and I
have just thought why haven't I suggested Manuka Honey!!!

Re: Ulcers which refuse to heal
I would agree with Joy, that the whole case needs to be retaken --
physical generals particularly, along with the modalities and
concomitants of the sores. By analyzing these, you'll get an idea of
what remedy is required now, regardless of what was given in the past.
It often happens that apparent "acutes" like this are really beautiful
windows on to the required chronic remedy -- good opportunities to
really "nail" the simillimum. Good luck! Rosemary
