By nature she is calm, kind and helpful. Takes on trifles calmly, rarely becomes angry. For her freedom matters a lot in life. Childhood was the most enjoyable time when there was a free life, no stress.
She has told that 12th std. was life turning for her. She got less percentages in examination and she was very much disappointed from it. She has guilt that she has not fulfilled the expectations of her parents.
By that time she felt weakness. Life was stressful. She lacks interest in studies. She said that comparing to as my school time, nowadays work & study is so much difficult for her. 
In school time, she was a bright student, standing in 1-5 ranks. Competitive sense was full at that time. She also has interest in extra curriculum activities. She liked to take parts in different-different competitions.

She loves to help other, esp. poor and orphan people. Because there is no one to support them.
She has fear to go alone at night, feels horror [2]

Analysis:

Prognosis

Eruption on skin is reversible condition mostly occurs in teen age due to hormonal imbalance.

Pathology of this case is mostly on physical plane. That is to on a skin. When making prognosis we can conclude by the case that complain is reversible and curable by looking in case history, case is on Group A.

She had ovarian cyst in past, was resolved by itself and patient has recurrent cold and cough in childhood. So, it confirms that patient is on a Group A.

Hereditary predisposition is on deeper level but still patient is not getting affected by those predisposition conditions.

From the case & personal as well as family medical history, we can conclude that Patient is in Level 3 of Group A.

   Differentiation of Remedies

“Lyco.” – weeping disposition is not as marked in Lycopodium as comparing to patient’s intensity.

“Puls.” – yielding disposition, weeping tendency, dreams and other physicals with the essence of drug is matching with Patient’s complain. So, it would be drug of Choice.

“Phos.” – There is no such desire aversion markedly present and yielding disposition is not present as compare to Puls.




 Prescription

Pulsatilla and 1M would be choice of potency because the case belongs to upper group with marked symptomatology.
