Hello Homeo Helper,
Firstly, words are not enough to thank you for helping me in this LP journey, will always be greatful to you.
I am back to report progress after taking Sulphur 30c 6pills/twice daily for past 10days.
Improvements and observations:
1) 25% reduction in itching.
2) Existing bumps started to flatten on my legs, but i have 500+ bumps all over so it might take time to see results everywhere.
3) New bumps in small clusters are still developing on my hands and stomach area in slow pace.
Please advise on next steps when you have time.
Thanks in advance.
