Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Till four days ago, I used to get beautiful skin whenever I applied random facewashes or moisturizer or any other nourishing cream on my face for a few days due to the placebo effect. After a few days, my skin used to become dull again. This effect on my face skin took years to develop. Now, four years back, I stopped applying anything on the face. So, the face skin stopped reacting to any cream from then.

Now the skin is like when I feel attractive or I get compliments about my face, only then I get glowing skin for a few days, otherwise, it is dull. According to dermatologists, my skin is normal and I think this is related to mental thinking. Please note that I had a history of schizophrenia and OCD starting, but am nearly normal now, just my face skin is troubling now.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand that you have been concerned for your facial skin. In order to prescribe the right remedy, I will need to understand the detailed history of your health which includes mental, emotional and physical health issues. Can you please tell me whether you feel the skin is dull when you are mentally stressed out or is this dullness all the time? Do you have any pimples or dark marks or scars on your face skin? Is your skin very dry or oily? Also, what do you exactly feel about your facial skin and how do you react to that emotion? If possible, kindly answer these questions.

Just based on your history, I can prescribe you the following remedies.

1. Berberis Aquafolium mother tincture 10 drops mixed with half cup of tap water can be applied over the face for 30 minutes twice a day. Then wash it off with plain water.

2. Sulfur 200 C only one dose four pills or two drops in a spoon of water. No repetition of dose. Only one dose to be taken, then wait and watch for the effect of the remedy. If you have already used Berberis Aquafolium mother tincture, then kindly just use one dose of Sulfur 200 C. Kindly get back in a week.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

No, I do not think dullness is related to mental stress. It is all the time. Yes, I think pimples behave weirdly on my face skin. I get 10 to 15 % height of pimples compared to pimples on other parts of the body and that too very rarely. In fact, a few days back, I noticed that I once used the same blade to remove my face beard, hairs on the neck and on upper parts of the chest and my whole skin area where I shaved was covered with many-many pimples (neck and chest) but my face area was unaffected. I do not have dark marks or scars on the face but a few very small pimple like structures which I am not able to see unless I watch very closely.

My nose and forehead skin is oily and the rest part is dry skin, I have a mixture. What I feel about my face skin is I feel I am invisible in public when I am dull. Sometimes, I like it because when no one watches me I do not have anxiety but most of the time, I feel sad about it. I feel my skin is the same when it is dull or glowing but the reaction people give who watched me yesterday when it was dull and the very next day makes me think about it that something is wrong. Yes, I feel it is the dullest and un-normal part of my body. How I react, I cannot do anything. So just feel sad about it. One more thing I feel is that only the skin which is visible to people right in front of my eyes is affected (because four years back, I used to see extreme reactions on people's face when my skin used to change). If someone watched from the left or right side or when I am looking down, it is near to normal. Then especially my nose area looks normal. Berberis is very good medicine but I think I get addicted to it. I took it for four months before and presently I am not using it. I took Sulfur 200 CH one dose, there was a slight improvement but now it is back to normal.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

At this point in time, kindly stop using Berberis tincture. You can use Sulfur 200 C once a week single dose. Also, add Kali Brom 30 C one dose daily for five days. Then stop for a week, see if you have noticed any changes. If the improvement is seen in a week then continue taking it once a day for 15 days. Then stop it completely. Kindly report back in 15 days.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

I took Sulfur 200 one dose only (not once a week as I forgot) and Kali Brom as told above. A slight improvement is seen. I usually keep a beard but when I shave, the skin which comes out looks slightly better. Thank you for your medicines.

Answered by Dr. Sheetal Kamble

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

That sounds really good. You can continue taking Kali Brom as indicated once a day for a week. If possible kindly report back in a week. No need to repeat any more doses of Sulfur at this point in time. Also just a gentle note. Kindly send or upload the pictures next time so that I can compare the pictures for before and after the treatment. Let me know if you have any questions.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

Please tell me how much is one dose of Kali Brom? I am taking four drops of it every day. I am taking Kali Brom once a day as told. Pictures are attached. Kindly inform me if more pictures are needed.

Answered by Dr. Sheetal Kamble

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Thanks for sending the pictures (attachment removed to protect patient identity). I can definitely see some improvement here. Continue taking Kali Brom for five more days. One dose is two drops of Kali Brom once a day. If significant improvement is seen, then you can stop the remedy after five days. If possible, kindly report back in 5 to 7 days.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thank you for your answer. I have continued using Kali Brom. There is a significant improvement but I am not sure if it is seen in these five days. I am still invisible. Either this medicine works slowly or has stopped working after a certain point. Please help me with it. Pictures are attached.

Answered by Dr. Sheetal Kamble

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I have looked at your pictures. You can stop taking Kali Brom at this time and start Sulfur 200 C single dose once a week only. Please do not repeat the dose more than once a week. After one week start taking Kali Brom 200 C four pills once a day for three days only. Report back after completing three days of Kali Brom 200 C.

Patient's Query

slight improvements seen ,i think it is the maximum glow i got in last 4 years thats why less improvements are seen now and before that i used to shift from two extremes from extreme dull to extreme glow. Pictures attached. Mam Dr Sandeep Mishra has prescribed me medicine for my OCD Kailiphos 30 one drop directly on tongue.(my OCD is not that much troubling at present ). Can i take this medicine along with what you prescribed or should i wait for some time before starting treatment?Thank You
Answered by Dr. Sheetal Kamble
Hi Welcome back. Actually you cannot take two medicines at a time... I think you have shown good amount of improvement at this point of time. You don't need further remedy on regular basis. You can take Sulphur one dose only once in a month. For now continue taking Kali phos as prescribed. If you feel pimples are bothering you then take one dose of Sulphur. Also mention this to your doctor as well so he has an idea what's going on.. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Patient's Query

mam, till 8 months i back i was taking kali brom 200 c as prescribed by you because i had dull on face skin due to depression, and improvement was shown . then i stopped taking it since i also have ocd and it was effecting me a lot, and you told me to not to take 2 medicines togeher. I am taking kali Phosphoricum 200x 4 pills daily and its shoewing positive results. kindly tell me what should i do to continue taking kali brom as the other homeo doctor(for ocd) also told not to take other medicines. Please ask me for more details if you forgot my my condition or needed more information. Thanks
Answered by Dr. Sheetal Kamble
Hi Welcome back, glad to know that kali phos is showing positive results for you.. If you feel mentally and emotionally better with kali phos remedy then dullness of your face should also go away... Hence you won't need any doses of kali brom further...two remedies at a time might interfere with your treatment.. If you really feel that dullness of your face is not gone at all then let me know..

Patient's Query

mam , 10-15 % improvement is only shown, if you would guide me i can ask my other homeopathy doctor for permission to take it, or you guide me to continue kali Phosphoricum 200x 4 pills daily ( as its showing positive for my ocd i dont wanna stop it) and add medicines for dullness. Thank You
Answered by Dr. Sheetal Kamble
Ok..you can take either kali brom 30c or sulphur 200c only one dose once a week.. but kindly talk to your homeopath before doing this..

Patient's Query

hi, mam, as told i am using kali brom 30 c every thursday , once a week, along with my homeo medicine for ocd(kali phos), I have got 15-20% improvement , but i am getting skin glow now a days only after washing my face with savoln soap(from last 3-4 months),otherwise if i dont use this specific soap for a week, i again become invisible and dull slowly such condition i noticed 4-5 years back when i used to get glowing skin on face after applying any random facewashes/moisturisers . soap composion if needed is attached https://www.bigbasket.com/pd/40164405/savlon-fresh-protect-soap-75-g/ Thank you
Answered by Dr. Sheetal Kamble
Hi Usually such soaps show temporary improvement hence if possible try to avoid using this specific soap. Instead you can try Berberis Aquafolium soap . You can use this soap all over body and can be used as you use any other soap.. You can continue taking kali brom as usual.. I hope this help let me know if you have any other wieris..

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
