ecchymosis

Hello All,

Is this ecchymosis ?- occurring on the tibia on and
off changing places, reddish brown, painful to touch .

Sorry if it looks a bit dumb. Is ecchymosis a
phenomenon of skin or of the circulation ? Especially
if it occurs during treatment of recurrent cough with
the tubercular miasm predominating, does this mean
outward manifestation or suppression ?

Thanks in advance.
Venkat

Ecchymosis are vascular
SKIN; ECCHYMOSE (K1308, G1079) (Discoloration; red; spots) (Purpura;
haemorrhagica) (70) : Arn., Led., Ph-ac., Phos., Sec., Sul-ac., ars.,
bry., carb-v., con., crot-h., ferr., ham., hep., hyper., kreos., lach.,
nux-v., petr., puls., pyrog., sulph., tarent., ter., thlaspi, aeth.,

Can not understand why they keep changing location as they would take
time to resolve. Could they be
SKIN; ERYTHEMA; nodosum (Eruptions; urticaria; nodular) (Indurations,
nodules, etc.) (18) : apis, arn., chin-s., rhus-t., rhus-v., thal.,
acon., ant-c., ars., chin., chin-ar., ferr., led., morg., nat-c., ptel.,
saroth., tub.
I feel unable to comment on the cause, Jean

YEs I would think Erythema Nodosum as a greater possiblity - not
echymosis.

Echymosis is an extravasation of blood from the blood vessels - for
which Arnica is th remedy.

PAinful and tender blue patches is a skin expression, and is some
sort of Chronic infalmmatory process manifesting acutely. I haven't
referred to any MEdical text book, so this is offhand.

I could get more medically accurate if you need the exact possible
diagnosis.

Thanks Jean and Leela,
I also am left to wonder whether this is actually a
proving left over by Silicea and previously by phos
200. Now the acute attacks are countered by puls and
the follow up is an occasional tub.
I was also a little incorrect in stating changing of
places. The correct expression would be" bruised like
spots without actual contusion on the tibial region
successively on nearby places one after the other".
the medical dictionaries describe this condition as
self resolving especially in children. I would also
wecome the diagnosis if possible.

Thanks again
Venkat

***Hi Venkat

I agree with Leela and Jean that it sounds like Erythema nodosum

and to add that if it is, then Ant-crud 6c twice a day has successfully
treated this condition.
Ant-crud also reps up high in this instance in Radar. Check to see if the
tongue is thickly coated white as if so, this will confirm Ant-crud but if
not Ant-crud should still be of assistance.
here is a link with some photos

http://www.dermis.net/doia/diagnose.asp ... 00&topic=t

here is a list of causes of this condition

Underlying condition causes of Erythema nodosum: The list of possible
underlying conditions (see also Misdiagnosis of underlying causes of
Erythema nodosum) mentioned in various sources as possible causes of
Erythema nodosum includes:

Pregnancy
Bacterial infection
Viral infection
Fungal infection
Protozoal infection
Rickettsial infection
Streptococcus
Tuberculosis
Sarcoidosis
Behcet's disease
Toxoplasmosis
Chlamydial infection

hi venkat,
When you apply ;ressure on these 'bruised spots', do they blanche and
retrun to colour, or do they remain discoloured?
What is the exact size of these spots?
