Paronychia illecebroides

Remedy code: 3-663.47.12
A 61-year-old man, the type 'rough husk (exterior), soft interior,' has skin complaints. The hands are covered with thick flakes, in large patches. To a lesser extent, the forearms and lower legs are also affected. He experiences outbreaks of itching attacks, and with rubbing the lymphatic fluid starts to come out. It started last year, first on the forearms, after scratching it turned red. It causes him terrible itching, then it turns fiery red, it has also been opened. At first, he thought it was an allergy to disinfectant at work; using different gloves made it slightly better. Blood tests are negative. He reports no other complaints, he is never sick. Although five years ago, he had kidney surgery; during a check-up, they found a small tumor, since then the follow-up checks have been fine. He has a lot of stomach acid, due to a diaphragm hernia. He also hiccups a lot. Work is hectic, but he enjoys it. It’s hectic; in recent years, and it has gotten worse. He is a manager. He is always busy, at work, gardening, exercising, and doing DIY. His parents' complaints are unknown for he is adopted. Since puberty, he has had phobias; when he cannot leave a room or situation, he gets anxious. He can live with it, but he used to drink a lot because of it. He was on medication for years. This makes him restless in his head, and he becomes anxious. After Juglans regia, he had no itching for a week. AnalysisSome characteristics are prominent: Phase 7: adoption, alcohol use, theme of ending, finished, it is over (when leaving, he also asks for an aphrodisiac).
Gold series: allergy component, former own business, addiction.
Silicon series: family (as a theme and in this Phase 7). Silicium Serie, Serie 3: subcutaneous.
Stage 15: over the top (the skin), wanting to leave, wanting to go outside. With these characteristics, namely Phase 7, Gold series3, and Stage 15, possibilities were explored: Drosera fits it all. Prescription 1: Drosera rotundifolia (with the ‘translation’ or code 3-663.73.15). After this, it went well for four days, but with work, it started again, but less severe, there is now not much itching anymore, the palms of the hands are no longer rough, not scaly, occasionally it feels like they are being pricked with a needle. A bit just below the wrist, on the inside. Legs and arms are okay. It heals better now. After showering, no more flakes. Recently, he has been hungrier. Not bad, but the restlessness in his head remains unchanged: periods that he doesn't feel comfortable anymore and wants to leave the room, especially with unexpected things. He prefers to know everything in advance. The need for stability points to Phase 4. So we make a new analysis. Reassessing the case, Phase and subphase are reversed, which brings you to the Paronichiae.
The basis of Phase 4 becomes clearer now; he wants certainty and stability. The reaction to this is the ‘no control’ feeling, wanting to leave, or fleeing into alcohol of Phase 7. The basis or underlying layer refers to the Phase. Above that, but towards the ‘outside’, often a reaction, more visible, is the Subphase.
Stage 12: the cancer, skin is ‘going on’ (compare Zincum metallicum). With this, we arrive at Paronychia.
Prescription: Paronychia illecebrum C200. Follow up,The rash is now quickly less severe, there are fewer attacks, something every few days. The palms of the hands are now good, the back of the hand is occasionally a bit red, and the arm sometimes has bumps. Sometimes the foot on the instep. After two months, the skin is clear. The restlessness in his head is now also less, no more panics and he sleeps better. For a while, the hands throbbed when he put them down, but that was over after a few weeks. After three months, the rash returned slightly after he quit smoking, and because of that, he felt some restlessness again; now it’s not panic but a slight trembling and then it goes away again. Paronychia is successfully repeated.
