A nine-year-old boy with eczema. He describes it as having been very severe and progressively worsening. Two months ago, it started with small spots and now covers his entire back. There are a few spots on his abdomen and a few on his neck. The rash is bumpy and red. Initially, it was all dry. Three weeks ago, he developed mumps, with pain when pressing on his cheek, and his eye became swollen. Despite this, he kept playing outside and remained restless, walking around a lot, even with a fever of 40°C. Afterward, the pain increased, and the rash subsided briefly but is now flaring up again. In the evenings, it feels warm. At the onset, he had to urinate frequently. Last year, he grew rapidly and has always had growing pains. His behavior has been problematic. He struggles with the loss of his grandfather. Since then, he has seen danger everywhere, either for himself or his class, and reacts by throwing things or running away from school. He becomes angry when asked to do something and resists at school. However, if he enjoys the schoolwork, he finishes it quickly. He exhibits very controlling behavior, what he wants must happen. He struggles to manage his anger. The feelings of the parents during his pregnancy will have influence, before his mother realized she was pregnant, the parents were temporarily separated. They held in anger. It was a disappointment, accompanied by doubt.

Malvidae).
Phase 2: His rapid grow took energy and brought him in a new, unknown era.
Further confirmation lies in the circumstances during the pregnancy of his parents:
Phase 2: insecurity, doubt.
Phase 3: adaptation.
Stage 12: his struggle, anger, and restlessness.
Crocanthenum canadense (named Cistus canadensis previously): fear, restlessness (the child), jealousy, disappointment (the parents).
Prescription: Crocanthenum canadense C30.
Follow-upAfter two weeks, things improved. The eczema and mumps symptoms diminished. There is still some pain upon touch, though he can even "hit" the affected area himself. The swelling remained for a long time and was entirely blue. After taking the remedy, he became emotionally very sensitive and occasionally coughed. In terms of behavior, when he gets angry now, he calms down more quickly and no longer lingers in his anger. In the years that followed, he remained healthy, and his behavior improved significantly.
