A female patient of 65 years of age had multiple comorbidities. She was diabetic, hypertensive, and had hypothyroidism. She developed bullous eruptions all over her body which were filled with fluid with severe itching. She was put on wysolone, and was on medication for some time, which neither gave any relief of symptoms nor caused regression of disease. There was no trigger that could be found. However, she had amelioration of symptoms during wet weather. In a detailed case taking she was found to have a liking for cold things and slept in knee-chest position. A dose of medorrhinum 200 was given. In the follow up a month later she said she was much relieved, but was feeling slightly itchy again. Her wysolone was tapered and another dose of medorrhinum 200 was repeated. Her eruptions resolved completely at the end of 2nd month. A follow-up (no medication) after a year showed no recurrence.
Explanation
When the patient is already on so many crude medications, it becomes very difficult to treat (as it masks all the indications of medicines and causes iatrogenic disease). This patient despite having taken so many medicines showed some marked modalities and peculiarities as a person, which helped in the selection of suitable remedy on homeopathic principles.
