My son who is 7 months old has excema. It is very itchy and is concentrated at the knees, elbows, outer palm and inner neck areas.

A local homeopath suggested me to use Carcinosin 30c (2 pills Monday morning and evening and 2 pills Friday morning and evening). I also use moisturizing creams.

I would really like to know from an expert whether this treatment will be effective or not.

Thanks.

Dear Rajasree,

It is difficult for me to comment whether this treatment would prove effective or not. The reason for this is that I do not have the full case of your son and I am not aware of the reason for this prescription. Ideally, a medicine which is similar to the state of your son, should be able to cure the eczema. If your homeopath is qualified enough, you should rely on his advice. Seek help elsewhere if the treatment does not bring some improvement withing a few months.

Best wishes,
Dr. B
