Update : Case of darkened smelly crotch

[Rana Ranjit Singh Riat]

Dear List members....
Thank you all for your suggestions. I prescribed SEPIA 1M in two split doses.....and the case was cured...

The details of the case were as follows:-

I have been treating a patient for the last three months, the chief symptoms of whom are as follows :-

1. The area of the skin in the fold of the thigh and the scrotum has darkened and is dark brown/purplish/reddish in colour. Initially the darkening took place only in the front but has now progressed all around the fold of the thigh ....right up to the anal region.

2. The smell of the skin in this area is very very offensive....something like decaying flesh/ something dead. In fact a finger rubbed in the area just cannot be smelt......it is that offensive.

3. After a bath/ shower the skin gets tender and can be rubbed with a finger and .....it peels off easily uncovering a shining inelastic skin underneath.

4. Perspiration seems to aggravate.....and the patient gets a slimy feeling in the area between the thighs and the scrotum.

The treatment was PSORINUM 200 ..given as four split doses in water over two days.
The area seemed to dry up and the smell slightly less. After waiting for a period of nearly one and a half .....the patient was given PSORINUM 1M ....given as two split doses in water over two days. There was no reaction..It has been nearly a month and a half since the last dose.

The problem remains nearly the same and there has been no improvement.
Thanking in advance ....

Good one Dave,
I would look at sep or sulph as the two closest to the physicals.
