A patient, Mrs S.B.(L-11208) aged 52 , consulted Dr Rajesh Shah for her complaints of non healing ulcer. She was suffering from a rare disorder called "Lipodermatosclerosis" She was suffering from this illness since the last 20 years. She had non healing ulcers on both lower legs, the lesions were raw, red, with deep ulcerations. They were very painful to touch and there was marked swelling.

She would get ulcers in the summer season, there was unbearable burning pain almost intolerable. Color doppler studies dose on 31-7-08 were suggestive of mild dilatation of superficial venous system bilaterally with subcutaneous oedema bileterally. Subcutaneous perforation of the left side. Her case details further revealed a craving for sweets and a sensitivity to heat.

She was a calm, stout person. Dr Rajesh Shah studied her case in detail and prescribed Tarentula Cubensis 30 and then later on 200 C in repeated doses. She was prescribed Sulphur 1M in powder dose, infrequently, as the case demanded. In 6 months there was substantial improvement and most of the ulcers healed with Homeopathic treatment.
