Miliaria Pustulosa healed through Homeopathy:

15 yrs old male presented with rashes over his face, neck, shoulder, and thighs for
3 days. It is started in the face and gradually spreads to other areas mentioned.
Rashes look like pustules and have itching mostly in the afternoon and night.
The patient also complained of Headache on & off for the last 3 days with
extreme body tiredness.
In both thighs, there is itching with swelling+
While asking about the causation, he informed me that 3 days before, he had
gone to the beach and played skating there. Though it is his regular schedule, he
feels that the rashes started after he came back from the beach and added that
day by day the rashes spreading throughout the body and symptoms getting
worse. He had applied moisturizers but had no relief.

Physical generals,

Sweat – only on chest and back
Thirst – Good increased for cold water.
Appetite – Decreased. Dislikes sweets, and like to have spicy food in
general.
Sleep – Disturbed for the past 2 weeks.
Normal Bowel & Bladder activity.

Mind:

Sleep disturbances are because of getting low marks in academics & parents
scolded for this. He gets irritated, constantly thinks about it, and wants to cry but
doesn’t show it off. Sometimes, cried at night.
