Guernsey gave the skin indications as “in any skin disease which itches very much, but the patient cannot bear
to scratch very ha rd as it hurts, a very slight scratch, a mere rub suffices to allay the itching.
Erysipelas that
itches exceedingly.” He also gives “otorrheaDischarge of fluid from the earAny drainage or discharge of fluid, pus, or blood exiting the ear canal. when there is much itching.”
Teste, who was among the first to use Croto-t homeopathically, gave a very inter esting account of it.
He
quoted Trousseau and Pidoux as saying that it often happens that eruptions are developed on parts not
touched by the remedy in those who have been engaged in making Croto-t ointments on patients.
The face and the scrotum especially have been thus attacked.
The itching which it causes, according to Teste,
is at first more tingling than burning (the contrary taking place with Rhus-t.).
The itching changes to burning
(like Rhus-t.).
Teste recorded the case of a delicate, cachectic, psoric girl of four who had suf fered for two years without
interruption from a fetid discharge from the nose, less in winter, more in summer.
Before this, she had a
vesicular eruption on chest and neck, which disappeared by itself, followed in three or fo ur days by the
discharge.
After the failure of Sulph., Merc., Calc., on the indication of the previous eruption.
Teste gave Croto-t., and in
less than a fortnight the disease lost three-fourths of its intensity, although it was in mid-summer.
Six months
completed the cure, the only other remedies given during the time were Lob and Kreos.
A second case from Teste records a man of forty, very fleshy, who for fifteen years had been subject to attacks
of goutArthritis with severe joint pain and swellingA disease in which defective metabolism of uric acid causes arthritis, especially in the smaller joints of the feet. returning every spring, except on two occasions w hen a most fatiguing and obstinate rash appeared
instead.
This consisted of an intense redness of the whole body, accompanied with a burning itching, especially in the
hollow of the hands, at the chest, and behind the ears.
These parts were the seat of a y ellowish, plastic exudationDischarge of fluid or pus from tissueThe process of fluid, cells, or other cellular substances slowly discharging from blood vessels or inflamed tissues., emanating from a multitude of small vesicles in
close contact with each other.
They were only distinctly •perceived in places where they were less numerous
and where a greater degree of resistance on the part of the epidermis imparted to them a certain persistence.
Each time this eruption broke out, it lasted three months in spite of purgatives and the baths of Bareges and
Aix les Bains.
When Teste saw the patient, he had neither gout nor eczema, butadry, racking, almost
convulsive and unceasing cough.
Skin was rather hot, there was thirst, a little headache, heat in the chest, no dyspneaDifficulty or shortness of breathLaborious or painful breathing, often associated with respiratory or cardiac conditions..
Sometimes, especially
in the evening, but only for a few days, he showed a tendency to syncopeTemporary fainting or loss of consciousnessA sudden, temporary loss of consciousness and muscle strength, caused by a temporary drop in blood flow to the brain..
At the end of three weeks, having received no benefit from Teste's treatment, the patient took of his own accord
three tablespoonfuls of the “Syrup of White Poppy,” at bedtime.
The cough ceased entirely for some hours and
then returned in its old intensity.
But during the intermission the malady had come out on the skin, and at daybreak the patient found himself
covered from head to foot with his old horrible eczema.
He was almost unrecognizable and in a state of the
deepest anxiety and despair.
He expected three or four months of it.
Teste then gave Croto-t.
The itching disappeared the same day.
Within five or six days there remained not a
trace of either cough or eruption.
As the patient left Paris, Teste was not able to follow the case in subsequent
years.
