N126: Skin Issues - Rashes and Psora Part 2

Skin issues are difficult to navigate.  When a remedy sends a rash away instantly the patient is thrilled, but the homeopath is not; while when the Similimum brings out a rash and the breathing improves the patient is horrified and the homeopath is thrilled!  This is one of the biggest challenges a homeopath has to face: how to explain to a patient that the elimination of something through the skin is not a disease, but the progress of healing.  Coming to us with a child with a rash shows the child’s healthy reaction to an injected substance or any other substance they may have come into contact.  When an adult comes with a rash it can be an acute exacerbation of the chronic disease or a substance they came into contact with, other way they want to get rid of this itchy scratch pesty experience. We can use the skin symptoms in the totality of symptoms, but if we give a remedy because they want one then it will be superficial and not long lasting.
