chronic infection on hair follicles on lower legs
Hi,I have a chronic infection on the hair follicles on my lower legs and (less dramatically) on my inner thighs. Other parts of the body are not affected at all.
I am a female, 24 y/o, and it started 7 years ago, when I was 17 y/o.
Each hair will do of of the following:
- grow normally
- grow with a red area surrounding it
- be ingrown, generating a white matter surrounding the hair follicle.
5 or 8 days before my period some of the "white matter" follicles will become purulent, but not to the point of showing a "yellow head" without the help of a topical antibiotic.
Only in the purulent stage they are painful.
An interesting feature is that both the "white matter" and the purulent hairs will appear in a symmetrical pattern on the legs - a couple days after it appeas in one leg, it can be expected to appear in a symmetrical posotion on the other leg. There is a certain dominance of the left side for the first appearance. Also, some of them, when pressured, produce a pain like a cord pulling the skin from inside on the shoulder blades or upper arms.
This problem started when I was visiting some relatives for a week. I caught a very acute infection, with about 30 boils on my lower legs, it was very painful. This stage lasted for about 5 months; I used erythromycin and it relieved the infection temporarily.
After some time, the disease became less aggressive. It had a dramatic, permanent improvement, when I went on a 2-week backpacking trip in the summer, caught a lot of sun, walked 9 hours a day and went to the sea for the last week.
BABBLING ABOUT MYSELF
Other people think of me as having very good health and a strong physical and intellectual build, (I guess they are right), but I get really weak when I'm sad - even for quite small - sometimes imperceptible - reasons - feel like lying down, lifeless and internally cold ("cold", in the sense of not being able to move myself without recurring to anger, unless someone I love comes for consolation - which makes me immediately better). Only people I love can make me be sad like that though - I am quite well "defended" to whatever comes from people I do not love extremely much - though I act kind/ethical/decent/compassionate/caring toward them, and sometimes I have a lot of empathy for them as well - I just try not to get too exposed myself, for whatever foolish reason inside my personality.
I am extremely unsensitive to environmental changes, and I am always the last one to complain about cold, heat, sleeping on hard rocks, etc - but I have a hard time standing up without moving - that makes me feel like fainting - mostly if I am upset, but also sometimes when I am "perfectly happy".
I had a bunch of self-image issues from age 11-17, and was a fat teenager who denied beauty anywhere except on intellectual things or love for nature. That self-image problem is now almost completely resolved.
Back to the little "hair follicle" subject - It astonishes me that my body can't get rid of this infection by itself!!! - Well - when the hairs are in the "white matter" stage, I do make a hole on top of them with a needle and pop them out. People suggest that this is a bad habit, but it seems to me that, if I don't pop them like this, they will become purulent-without-yellow-head-and-painful, or otherwise that they will never get out of the skin. The little unpainful blood stains seem to me to be better than the purulent-with-no-yellow-head-and-painful thing. I must admit that it gives me some somewhat perverted pleasure to take them out like that. But I really want this thing to go away; I've been using triclosan 3x a day and exfoliating and it brings some relief. Even better than all that is a powder mixture of calendula+echinacea+antimonium metallicum+silicea+arnica - for fixing the blood stains ;-) - I don't know if it makes the hair follicle problem any better though... ok I'm being silly uh...
Anyway - I really feel like getting rid of these pimple-things!...

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Ooops, there is more about this case... I pressed without meaning it... uh.... freudian slip? ;-)
ok from the suggestions they give for posts seeking medical suggestions I guess I should say things about my dreams and about food preferences...
love: vegetables - spices, spices, spices - "cold" fruit - non-fat yogurt - sour food - bitter food - granola
can't stand: milk - meat - refined flours - eggs - they make me get bloated, constipated, toxic, etc...
Dreams: very vivid. sometimes lucid. often dream of being outdoors, at night, in somewhat threatening situations (not scary, just threatening. they never make me wake up). being chased. being killed. being dead. seeing people kill people, methodically (the actual murder scene is never present)
. outdoors, knights, horses, sea, carnival with threatening people, visiting hospices, visiting the "living" when I am dead. also, very nice, poetic dreams about beautiful lessons, these always pass in "third-person", ie, I do not belong to the dreams, and they are encenations or stories told to me. their nature is very exciting and a bit above my creative capacities when awake.
Well - thanks for reading! - All comments welcome, I seem to have gone well beyond the initial scope of the post! ;-)

Well...
Either I'm a bad mix of many homeopathic characters or I'm a very bad homeopath (well... I'm sure I'm a bad homeopath!! - haven't studied much of the subject...)
I treated myself with:
sepia 1M: I had moved into a family with 3 kids and was having trouble adapting... Psychologically, the picture was very speia-ish. Had some of the physical symptoms like (barely) yellowish complexion, fluid retention, better from exercise, love of thunderstomrs. That hit VERY well, but I don't need it anymore, after ~3doses. Yeah, I DID self-medicated with 1M potency. Mmmmm. It was sooo typical!!!
After that, I had terrible vertigo, things spinning, crying, needy, very sensitive to anything my husband said/did; very needy of attention; I was very very sweet but sometimes angry, screaming, breaking things. I treated that with Pulsatilla 200C. I was somewhat tarentula-ish when ~18 - though I'd never think of eating sand nor raw meat!! - I loved to dance, but maybe that was just a case of "physical exercise". I was very restless though and had the "always moving one part". I did not try Tarentula though... It just doesn't get the full picture... I guess...
Now I'm very inclined to take Mercurius solubilis. A high potency, since the symptoms, even when their description under "Mercurius solubilis" is very physical, manifests in me as psychological most often - mostly the tendency to be uncomfortable, change, be uncomfortable change, still be uncomfortable. That, in me, does not show up as physical, but it is a very good description of my psychology. I just need change, though some few values are fixed. Like... love for people/values/beings I love, intelligence is equivalent to love of truth, try not to be self-deceptive (I am not particularly self-deceptive, but I think that THAT is one of the major human flaws, and, even the least self-deceptive people are still self-deceptive) - maybe that's where my negativist-sounding discourse comes from, but my ATTITUTE toward the world is not negativist at all, even though my VIEW of it tends to be....
Ah, my discourse sounds so different from some parts of me!!! - I know that, but if I am myself, to the outside, many people get completely horrified. Oh THEY!!! - I am completely open to SOME people though. And to MYSELF. Or at least I try... And to the outside... I let them see that there is more to it than they are seeing, and invite them to get to know it... If someone is interested, and not afraid, I am always very happy to have a very open interaction....
Well well well...

Hi John,
Thanks for the reply! --
I was visiting my grandma, who was living in bed; she had been run over by a car something like 2 years before and, being diabetic, did not recover very well. And she had some incontinence problems... I remember sleeping in sheets that, though they smelled like they had been just washed, still smelled somewhat fowl. I do not remember if I woke up with the boils from the first night or if they took some days to appear. It probably is the case that I shaved my legs when I was there.
Each boil was about 0.5 inches in diameter, hard, and painful. If too much impact happened, for example, if I ran or jumped, I would feel each of them "shaking" and some "halo of pain" expanding from each one. All the boils where below the knee - which makes me think that it's more likely that I had shaved my legs there, since sometimes I shave only below the knees - and they were distributed uniformly on that region. I definitely did not use other people's razor.
Thanks! ;-)

SILICEA was the answer.
Yeah - the guidelines suggest that we give a brief psychological portrait, but I am just too twisted to write anything about myself that makes any literal sense ;)

You are a very interesting person! Not meant to be an insulting question, but do you talk rapidly and a lot??
Sound a lot like LACHESIS. Look it up, what do you think?
You must have picked something up at grandma's. Let's see if we can get rid of it. Any other hair problems except on legs?
Blessings, Sabra

Hey Sabra - you know - whether a question is insulting or not is just a matter of the intention of who's asking! :))
Ok - let me write a bit about what you asked me - and thanks!
--- TALKING RAPIDLY
I do talk rapidly, but it generally takes me a moment of internal silence and reflection until I start emitting words - unless it is an "old" discussion and in my mind it's already clear what are my thoughts and the listener's thoughts about the subject.
I'll talk a lot in two situations:
- if I am exposing a well-formed idea to someone who shows an interest in listening to me
- [blushing] if I am annoyed at my boyfriend for some insane reason
in fact, I've heard many times that I'm "a good listener", or "so quiet", but only two people have ever complained that I talk "too much" - both were my boyfriends ;P
--- LACHESIS?
Now, about lachesis. It took me a while to reply because that one turned out to be a complicated question for me...
1. I feel great, fuzzy, dreamy, silly and happy after sleeping. It also relieves minor physical annoyances. Also, I am quite happy in that stage just prior to sleep. I wonder if that is a strong enough sign against Lachesis.
2. I wonder if I am religious. On the one hand, I do not follow any prescribed path for salvation/enlightenment and often criticise the existing ones. On the other hand, I do follow "religion" as "preached" by Nietzche: "vade mecum, vade tecum", ie, "if you want to follow me, follow yourself" - pretty fanatically - to the point of creating my own one-person religious sect - that is ever changing... and encouraging others to find their own path to do so. Generally, I find in myself a lot of lachesis mental symptoms, but with a funny twist.
But - hey - isn't that twist and *contradiction of will* exactly a feature of Lachesis?
For example, I am jealous, but I value freedom. Then - magic! - I myself am naturally very monogamous and one of my partners was almost assexual (I am quite sexual, but we got along so well otherwise, I was willing to forget about that), while the other one is a "natural monogamous". Is everything solved? Of course not yet! I manage to feel jealous about work, abstract passions, etc. But the more maddening sexual jealousy is somewhat solved.
I do have the sense that time does not exist, or that past, future, and present mix together, since I was a teenager. This is listed under lachesis.
My extremities are cold, and sweat easily under emotion or physical exertion.
I have a worse left side on my legs, and a worse right side on the rest of my body. I've found the mirrored version of this described under Lachesis.(Ouch! - I swear, I am not making this weird stuff up!) Sore throat comes first on right right, the right side of my abdomen is more bloated than the left one (the left side sometimes sounds empty on knocking, the right one never does; I have a dumb-cord feeling deeply inside my abdomen - on the right side, the left side feels fine), my right shoulder is lower, my right eye opens wider; now -- my left leg is much less flexible than the right one, and tends to accumulate slightly more fat (visible only in the a specific spot of the thigh, where there is a curve that defines itself better on the right leg) - as well as a little fat spot over the left side of my pelvic bone - which does not exist on the right side. My hips are much less flexible on the left side as well. And the hair follicle problem, of course, appears first on the left.
I do have a bunch of impulsive insanity... I do hate thight clothes... I'd guess my heart is ok, I know blood pressure is ~11/6, sometimes lower, I do well on aerobic exercise, but when it's too hot I feel pulsations all over my body - these pulsations are almost painful on the head.
My face is not purple at all!! - It's more like yellow, though not quite. Only under heat+intense exercise it becomes reddish. In the cold, though, scars become completely purple.
--- HAIR CONSTITUTION
Ahn... And my hair is ok everywhere except on my legs. Mmmmm. I'm mostly latin/jewish, and latin and jewish women are famous for being hairy! - So the hair on my legs is quite thick and dark, while my skin is quite white for someone with dark hair.
Blessings! :) ;)

As I understand, we're investigating whether Lachesis is my best constitutional remedy, ot the best long-term solution for the hair follicle problem and problems I'm not aware of but that might share characteristics with the hair follicle one.
But... Don't forget! - Silicea worked wonders wonders wonders on that problem, after that initial violent reaction.

I was right, you are truly interesting. I have been laughing a lot. That perfectly wonderful jewish woman's sense of auto-speak-humor. One is just born with it!
I too was thinking Silicea and wanted to examine another route to compare. Silicea must not be taken more than once per week. If you have taken several doses, it is time to stop.
I now suggest if the condition exists on a more mild level, it may be time to take a dose of Lachesis.
If the condition is near gone, please wait and watch for a couple more weeks.
If you haven't already done it, try shaving a hand size area and see what happens. If you have already shaved and no problem, ok.
One more thought, you may be one of the few women that must shave downward or "with" the growth direction. After, one might try a depilitory on what is left. Try small spot first.
If only I could get the women I counsel to think better of themselves as you do and enjoy the unique ability to laugh at the ridiculous problems they take so seriously. You would do well here. Women need to laugh more to get past all the silly seriousness around them.
Blessings, Sabra

yeah, I like your plan!
- stop silicea (I have stopped it a week ago, according to to advice)
- try lachesis (I have ordered it, should arrive in 1 or 2 days)
- all I have been using for the last 8 months or so are those depilatories, with a frequency of every two weeks or every (argh!...) two months
Mmmmm... Yeah, I like talking to people with a sense of humor. It seems to come from they having their own particular view of the world... Sometimes we can predict which jokes will make some specific person we know laugh. It means that the joke goes well with their view of the world. Hehe, as of me writing on this forum, the funny thing is... I don't know exactly what made you laugh - really, I don't quite plan to be funny - but it's just so good that you thought that the overall style was worth a smile, even better a laugh! ;)

Mmmm. On the first few days of taking Silicea, a circle with 1/2 inch diameter of skin in the internal side of my left thigh became very rough. Then after some days (all of them taking Silicea) the circle disappeared. Now, a week after stopping the Silicea, the funny little circle came back. Mmmm.
Also, the leg-hair-pimple condition got worse in this week, but it might be because I'll have my period in 5 days or so - that always makes a lot of things - including of course the leg-hair-pimples - worse.
And I have a *weird* cough - something dry and crystal-like comes out of my nose in the morning. I guess I have never had this kind of discharge before. I do not feel tired, it's just my nose.
Just keeping a record of changes... I guess none of these is surprise and they do seem to be symptoms of excess of Silicea...

Take one dose of Silicea every two weeks for 3 times. (6 weeks)
Take Lachesis now for other symptoms and good for female stuff. 1M or lower. Two doses should be good. One each morning.
Let us know how the symptoms proceed. Blessings, Sabra

OK, don't know why I didn't think of this before. Get some ECHINACEA 1M. (homeopathic only)
Take one dose now and wait a week and take one more. Wait and see. You can take the Lachesis also near period, but 6 hours apart. You have probably taken one dose of Silica by now, hold off on the others.

Ops Sabra - I took 1 dose of Lachesis 12x yesterday morning and 1 dose today morning - but no Silica. I am not sure if I noticed any change - this means at least that nothing very dramatic happened in this time frame.
Is this expected? What does it mean?
thanks! :)

Ah - I am just curious - why isn't non-homeopathic echinacea indicated? Can it trigger auto-immune stuff?
Notice that I mentioned in this thread that "Even better than all that is a powder mixture of calendula+echinacea+antimonium metallicum+silicea+arnica - for fixing the blood stains ;-) - I don't know if it makes the hair follicle problem any better though..." - unfortunately I cannot find that mix here in the US. :( - It's a great and very general skin-healer.
Thanks!!

Homeopathic ECHINACEA works well on infections that are difficult to resolve. Works on blood disorders. Good even for blood poisoning.
After treating boils/cysts of any sort, finish with Echinacea. I even use this after treating spider bites. They are really hard to resolve. Keep reoccuring.
Non Homepathic is a tonic type of herbal meds. Will not correct blood disorder or the depth of homeopathy. Also may aggrivate the body if too much is taken.
The brown liquid prepared herbs "over the counter" are not as safe as homeopathy. A child could be poisoned by drinking a small bottle, while a child can eat a whole bottle of homeopathy of any name and not suffer damage.
I am NOT saying they are no good!!! Just not preferred in some cases. Know what you are doing and use caution.
You could make this skin healer yourself by acquiring these remedies in around 15X in dry form and crush a fourth (of each bottle) with a rolling pin (in plastic bag) and add to a "null" cream from a regular pharmacy. Never ointment or oil, cream without fragrance.
If you just cannot find the cream, purchase liquid remedies and place a dropper full of each in water bottle, shake and carefully apply it like you would a liquid rub.
homeopathy is very versatile.
I cannot explain the Lachesis quiet lack of response. Give it a few days. Echinacea also very good for female conditions.

After treating boils/cysts of any sort, finish with Echinacea. I even use this after treating spider bites. They are really hard to resolve. Keep reoccuring.
Non Homepathic is a tonic type of herbal meds. Will not correct blood disorder or the depth of homeopathy. Also may aggrivate the body if too much is taken.
The brown liquid prepared herbs "over the counter" are not as safe as homeopathy. A child could be poisoned by drinking a small bottle, while a child can eat a whole bottle of homeopathy of any name and not suffer damage.
I am NOT saying they are no good!!! Just not preferred in some cases. Know what you are doing and use caution.
You could make this skin healer yourself by acquiring these remedies in around 15X in dry form and crush a fourth (of each bottle) with a rolling pin (in plastic bag) and add to a "null" cream from a regular pharmacy. Never ointment or oil, cream without fragrance.
If you just cannot find the cream, purchase liquid remedies and place a dropper full of each in water bottle, shake and carefully apply it like you would a liquid rub.
homeopathy is very versatile.

Sabra, thanks for the post. I'll get Echinacea. What frequency, potency?...
Ah, 15x potency of the remedies to go in the ointment. Great! ;)

Echinacea in 200X or most any potency near will do well.
Had a further thought this am. You can purchase Calendula cream in a "pot" not a tube. You may be able to add the others to this and have the cream you wish??
We must all speak to our creative natures when we want something really bad.

Hi, It's been a while since I don't post! - I have not been noticing any big changes in the condition, while taking echinacea and lachesis and washing with calendula - plus the old triclosan soap - plus silicea now and then - plus exfoliating now and then - plus not shaving more than once every three weeks. Well - at least it did not get worse, meaning that it kept being better than it had ever been in the last 5 years or so - after it got better with the initial freak-usage of silicea 6X many times a day, which gave me that strong reaction with redness, itching and blood blisters which I had never had. Maybe it got a little better, it's hard to say. I know it did not get worse.
Well - just posted to keep a record of what's going on - it's been long since I disappeared. But thanks *very very much* for all the help, companionship & new ideas, Sabra.

Itching and blood blisters??? Did the skin do it of itself or did scratching? Far too much Silicea. It is a wonder you didn't come up with a good case of diarrhea.
Please tell us more about this. I am studying some remedies. It seems that you may have gone through what we call a layer. Or back in time to another symptom and now need to examine another picture for another remedy.

Yeah, it's described in
http://www.abchomeopathy.com/forum2.php/12688/
The skin did it itself, I'd scratch only after it had itched and itched!! - About the blood blisters, I have never had them except in that occasion. It was not many of them, only three or four.
Mmmmm... I do not remember having had any diarrhea from the Silicea.
Thanks,
Emilian
