This is not a symptom of lung disease, but is reflex from the uterus.

When itch has been suppressed, Psorinum is an excellent remedy to redevelop it; usually, too, it will cure the disease after its redevelopment. Psorinum is also useful when pustules or boils remain after itch has been cured by some other remedy.
Cinnabaris
Cinnabaris is an excellent remedy when there is a combination of syphilis and sycosis. The figwarts are apt to be fan-shaped. There is a great deal of itching, especially about the joints.
Pulsatilla
Pulsatilla is also an excellent remedy in small central corneal ulcers,with no vascular supply, especially when occurring in scrofulous subjects.
