Mrs. S. K. S., 66 years old house wife (Patient Identification Number - 18698) visited our clinic on 27th March 2012 accompanied with her husband. She had lesions on lower legs which were spreading since 10 days. She had severe itching all over her body. She had swelling on the legs. The lesions were partially healed with antibiotics. She had been investigated for all the possible disease. The biopsy confirmed it as Reactive Perforating Collangenosis. She had been applying cortisone ointments and creams with mild relief.
She was suffering from Diabetes since 20 years and was taking conventional treatment. She was also suffering from high blood pressure since 20 years and it was under control with conventional medicines. Her diet was mixed. She had an average appetite. She disliked sweets. She was obese. She was sensitive to warm climate. There were no complaints in bowel, urine, thirst or perspiration. Her sleep was sound. She was a home maker. Her husband was a retired executive.
