huge orange blister
Posted: Thu Sep 24, 2009 7:44 am
Hi,
This is the case I asked about before. I saw the px - she has a huge orange blister on her leg. Around 2.5 inches in diameter, 1.5 inches in height. It's a reaction to bites, but she's had clusters of bites (apparently from the same mosquito) and only has the reaction sometimes. However, over time when she has the reaction it's getting worse. The blister is transparent and orange coloured. She says it becomes more opaque over time. When she has lanced these blisters in the past, she's left with a mark on the skin, roughly .5 inch in diameter, of a mottled brown colour. Not so much coppery as previously reported.
She really wants a solution through homeopathy as she sees that the reaction is getting worse, and that when she intervenes (lancing) the area does not heal properly. This case just seems so totally one-sided - no M/E unusual to the period, no history apart from the smallpox vaccination treatment for warts, no hot or cold sensation on the site of the blister, no bathing agg or amel modalities, not even the location modality as she has had these blisters elsewhere on her body over the last 3 months. Someone asked: the smallpox vaccination treatment was given in the US and was considered standard at the time. I live in Israel, and the px lives near Tel Aviv, an area where there are a lot of mosquitos. She has checked for bedbugs and other bugs, but very often the reaction happens on the site of several ordinary mosquito bites, the others go the usual route, but the blister can contain two or three bite sites.
She has had a tendency to encapsulate bites in the past, but not in this way. The problem started around 3 months after a trip to India - she did not get vaccinated before the trip.
She has received Nit-Ac in the past which has been helpful to her, it seemed to be indicated in this case on the basis of the phone call I received, but it didn't help, and having seen the px I don't feel it's the appropriate remedy.
Any ideas?
