Thank you.
I have been looking into where I can buy Sulphur 200 in London and can't find anywhere. It only seems to be available in 6 or 30c.
Do you have any recommendations?

I took the recommended Sulphur 200c doses yesterday and this morning.
The itchiness has reduced but the sore areas are now weeping which concerns me.

Let the discharge happen. It may be a curative discharge. Please don't take more Sulphur now. The process has already started. Please report after 15 days.
