More Information about Phytolacca:

It is a little difficult to give a clear picture of Phytolacca patients, but in most cases they are very depressed, gloomy and rather indifferent. In addition to their local symptom they always feel very tired and often complain of generalized bruised pains, a sort of aching pain all over. They are also very liable to severe bone pains which are particularly troublesome in bed at night.

With rectal carcinomas, they are particularly liable to get a most troublesome backache, a throbbing type of pain in the lumbar or sacral region. This also tends to be much worse at night and is particularly bad in a warm bed.
The patients are sensitive to cold, they feel chilly, are very sensitive to damp and to cold rooms.

The appearance of the tongue is a little suggestive. As a rule it has a much coated base-a yellowish, dry base-and with a very red tip. Usually the patients have been liable to attacks of sore throat, they have rather large tonsils, and there is often a bluish appearance of the back of the throat and of the pillars of the fauces. They complain of a raw, rough sensation in the throat and of severe stiffness in the neck as if the muscles at the sides of the neck were rigid.

In their gastric disturbances, the main complaint is of pain in the pyloric region. After food they get a feeling as if the whole stomach were contracting-they express it as feeling as if the stomach were being pinched together-and they tell you that soon after a meal they feel a sinking, hungry sensation and then begin to get the pyloric pain, become sick and vomit. The vomit may be variable but-certainly with carcinoma-it usually consists of a quantity of blood-stained slimy mucus.



In carcinoma cases, there is usually a good deal of pain in the region of the liver. The liver is sensitive to pressure, and the pain is very much worse when the patient is turned over on to the right side.

"Dose: Use Phytolacca 200c pills weekly once."
Use Bryonia 200 in case of pain the breast

HOMOEOPATHY FOR HYPO PIGMENTATION


A skin condition that occurs when the body has too little melanin, or pigment.
The partial loss of skin color. Hypopigmented skin is abnormally light when compared to the surrounding skin. Hypopigmentation occurs when the skin produces too little melanin.
Hypopigmentation can develop after an injury to the skin. It is also caused by some medications.

This overview will cover the following areas:

  1. Hypopigmented skin lesions without any surface changes
  2. Hypopigmented skin lesions with additional surface changes
  3. Hypopigmented skin lesions associated with malignancies or with malignant implications
  4. Hypopigmented skin lesions associated with other organ involvement
 Hypopigmented skin lesions without any surface changes

Vitiligo: Vitiligo causes smooth, white patches on the skin. In some people, these patches can appear all over the body. It is an autoimmune disorder in which the pigment-producing cells are damaged. There is no cure for vitiligo, but there are several treatments, including cosmetic cover-ups, corticosteroid creams, or ultraviolet light treatments.


Causes of Vitiligo

Vitiligo appears to occur when immune cells destroy the cells that produce brown pigment (melanocytes). This destruction is thought to be due to an autoimmune problem, but the cause is unknown.
Vitiligo may appear at any age. There is an increased rate of the condition in some families. The condition affects about 1 out of every 100 people in the United States.
Vitiligo is associated with three other autoimmune diseases:
  1. Addison's disease
  2. Hyperthyroidism
  3. Pernicious anemia
Symptoms of Vitiligo

Flat areas of normal-feeling skin without any pigment appear suddenly or gradually. These areas have a darker border. The edges are well defined but irregular.
Vitiligo most often affects the face, elbows and knees, hands and feet, and genits. It affects both sides of the body equally.
Vitiligo is more noticeable in darker-skinned people because of the contrast of white patches against dark skin.
No other skin changes occur.

Homoeopathy Treatment for Vitiligo

Homoeopathy Treatment

The homeopathic treatment focuses on the patient as a person, as well as his pathological condition. The homeopathic medicines are selected after a full individualizing examination and case-analysis, which includes the medical history of the patient, physical and mental constitution etc. There is no single specific remedy for all the cases of Vitiligo. The exact treatment is determined only on in-depth evaluation of individual case.

Some Homoeopathic medicine give good results in Vitiligo 

Arsenic Sulph Falvus,Arsenic Album ,Baryta Mur, Baryta Carb, Ars.alb., Bacillinum, Graphites, Merc sol, Nat.mur, Nit.acid, Nux vom, Phos, Sep, Sil, Sulph, Thuja.

HOMOEOPATHY MEDICINE
Albinism

Albinism is a rare inherited disorder caused by the absence of an enzyme that produces melanin. This results in a complete lack of pigmentation in skin, hair, or eyes. Albinos have an abnormal gene that restricts the body from producing melanin. There is no cure for albinism. People with albinism should use a sunscreen at all times because they are much more likely to get sun damage and skin cancer. This disorder can occur in any race, but is most common among whites.
Pigmentation loss as a result of skin damage: If you've had a skin infection, blisters, burns, or other trauma to your skin, you may have a loss of pigmentation in the affected area. The good news with this type of pigment loss is that it's frequently not permanent, but it may take a long time to repigment. Cosmetics can be used to cover the area, while the body regenerates the pigment.

Albinism is a genetic condition and it is glandular
But whilst it is not impossible to treat I know of no cured case


Tuberculenum or Carcinocin may help in secondary causes and effects.

Malignant Melanoma

Malignant melanoma. Less than 2 percent of all melanomas occur during childhood. Nonetheless, attention must be paid to signs and symptoms suggestive of this potentially fatal disease. Variegations of color are of particular concern. Irregular or notched borders, bleeding, and ulceration are other signs of malignant change. The patient may give a history of itching, and the parents may have noted rapid growth of the lesion. Because the prognosis of a melanoma is most closely related to the thickness of the lesion at the time of treatment, emphasis should be on early diagnosis.

Nevus Depigmentosus

Nevus depigmentosus (achromicus). These are localized areas of hypopigmentation that are usually present at birth. The lesions may be irregular in size and shape and occasionally follow a linear or segmental pattern. Electron microscopic study of these areas suggests that melanosomes are not being transferred from melanocytes into surrounding keratinocytes. There are no associated abnormalities.

Tinea Versicolor

Tinea versicolor is a fungal infection of the skin. It's also called pityriasis versicolor and is caused by a type of yeast that naturally lives on your skin. When the yeast grows out of control, the skin disease, which appears as a rash, is the result.

Causes of Tinea Versicolor
  1. You have oily skin
  2. You live in a hot climate
  3. You sweat a lot
  4. You have a weak immune system
  5. yeast grows naturally on your skin
  6. Symptoms of Tinea Versicolor
Acidic bleach from the growing yeast causes areas of skin to be a different color than the skin around them. These can be individual spots or patches. 

Specific signs and symptoms of the infection include:
  • Patches that may be white, pink, red, or brown and can be lighter or darker than the skin around them.
  • Spots that do not tan the way the rest of your skin does.
  • Spots that may occur anywhere on your body but are most commonly seen on your neck, chest, back, and arms.
  • The spots may disappear during cool weather and get worse during warm and humid weather. They may be dry and scaly and may itch or hurt, although this is not common.
Tinea  Versicolor
Self Care Measures

Avoid applying oily products to your skin.
Avoid wearing tight, restrictive clothing.
Avoid excessive heat and sweating.
Always wear sun block lotion when exposed to sun.
Eat a balanced healthy diet.
Adhere to good hygiene.
Garlic is a very good antifungal agent.

Homoeopathy Treatment for Tinea  Versicolor

Sulphur 30, Sepia, Natrum Mur,  CalcareaBacillinum, Thuja, Tellurium, Phosphorus.

HOMOEOPATHY TREATMENT
Please follow homoeo restrictions like no coffee, no raw onion/garlic, no strong perfumes, don't eat or drink anything within 30 minutes before or after taking medicine.

The homoeopathic medicines are selected after a full individualizing examination and case-analysis, which includes the medical history of the patient, physical and mental constitution etc. There is no single specific remedy for all the cases of Vitiligo. The exact treatment is determined only on in-depth evaluation of individual case.

Pityriasis alba

This benign inflammatory dermatosis presents as hypopigmented lesions also with a scaly surface but its edges blend imperceptibly into the normal skin. It is most often seen in children 8 to 12 years of age and is often precipitated by sun exposure. It is not itchy and is considered to be a form of mild inflammatory dermatosis as histology shows just superficial dermatitis. Two variants, the “pigmenting pityriasis alba” and “extensive pityriasis alba” have been described. The latter may persist into adult life.

Halo nevus

Halo nevus, also known as Sutton’s nevus or leukoderma acquisatum centrifugum, is composed of a central pigmented benign nevus with a recent onset of depigmentation around the pigmented nevus. It is said to occur in 1% of population. It is asymptomatic and totally benign. Diagnosis is clinical and excision of nevus often leads to repigmentation.

Hypopigmented skin lesions associated with malignancies or with malignant implications

Mycosis fungoides

Hypopigmented mycosis fungoides affect primarily young adults (M=F); presenting with hypopigmented patches with ill defined borders on the trunk and buttocks (shown Fig below). This variant of mycosis fungoides is increasingly being described and recognized in our Asian population and a high index of suspicion is needed to clinch the diagnosis early by performing a skin biopsy. Without treatment, a prolonged indolent course is expected although rapid clearance can be achieved by PUVA therapy.
Mycosis fungoides

Melanoma associated leukoderma

Hypomelanosis may occasionally be associated with melanoma. The presentation includes:

  1. White halo around a primary or metastatic melanoma,
  2. Remote leukoderma distant from the melanoma, and
  3. Vitiligo-like depigmentation. Depigmentation often appears several months to years after the appearance of the melanoma or its metastasis, and rarely precedes the tumour.
Melanoma associated leukoderma
Poikiloderma vasculare atrophicans

Poikiloderma vasculare atrophicans consists of mottled hypopigmentation, hyperpigmentation, telangiectasia and progressive skin atrophy. This may be a sign of early cutaneous lymphoma or may be associated with dermatomyositis. Repeated skin biopsies are often needed to exclude the development of cutaneous lymphoma. Dermatomyositis needs to be excluded as well.
Poikiloderma vasculare atrophicans
Chronic arsenic poisoning

Chronic arsenic poisoning (most commonly from ingesting contaminated well water or taking arsenic-containing traditional medication) causes bronze discoloration of skin 10 to 20 years later. It is characterized by raindrop-like hypomelanotic macules 2-10 mm in size distributed over the background of diffuse bronze pigmentation. Punctate keratosis on the palms and soles, Bowen’s disease and squamous cell carcinomas are the other associated features.

Xeroderma pigmentosa

Xeroderma pigmentosa is characterized by photosensitivity and persistent erythema followed by hypo and hyperpigmentatiion. The hypopigmented lesions are 1-5 mm in size. It is an autosomal recessive disorder of defective excision repair of UV-induced DNA damage. The cutaneous damage by UV radiation predisposes to the development of cutaneous malignancies e.g. squamous cell carcinoma.

"Hypopigmented skin lesions associated with other organ involvement"

Hypomelanosis of Ito

This naevoid pigmentary condition presents as an acquired, streaky hypomelanosis (Fig. 4) and may be associated with seizures, mental retardation and multiple skeletal abnormalities.

Tuberous sclerosis

Tuberous sclerosis presents with hypopigmented macules in the newborn with seizures and mental retardation. Shagreen patches and periungual fibroma may be present as well.
