tell me please, how long the girl had a rash and whether other treatment previously?
this is real beauty and simplicity of homoeopathy…
sir, would you please tell me why did you select Lyc-30..??? and never tried Lyc-200..???
Thank you for sharing your experience!
If you allow me I would like to ask a few questions.
1. Did you give Sulphur and Lycopodium in pellets or in solution?
2. I do not know this word – TDS. Does it mean Every day?
3. As a result of treatment, did the skin become completely cleared? Or does Psoriasis patches in the skin still remain (1-2 platches) but it does not bother the patient? In Russia, this tipe of Psoriasis patches called “duty” patches.
4. Now more time passed after the treatment. Did the patient ask help again or not ?
