Lichen- SYCOSIS AND PSEUDO-PSORA.
Tine barbae; Tinea tonsurans.
Tinea Vesicular.
Warts and warty growths.
Condylomata will reveal the presence of both SYPHILIS and SYCOSIS, also verruca accuminata, pointed papillary growths, coxcomb and warts.
Skin lesion in tertiary stage, warty eruptions or growths- verruca filiformis, verruca vulgaris, verruca plana.
Verruca vulgaris found in children suffer from hereditary SYPHILIS.
Verruca filiformis comes as a tertiary lesion in an acquired form of Syphilis.
Verruca plana is another hereditary form, found more or less upon the backs of hands and faces of children and young people.
The filiformis appears in adults with acquired Sycosis who have had it suppressed. Usually appear on sexual organs, trunk of body-small in diameter, one-eight of an inch long, often shorter, brownish or greyish, pointed with spindle-like attachments.
A form of acne-large red, angry, blunt pointed looking papules at about menstrual period, they do not suppurate, but are sore to touch and sensitive- quite isolated and separate from each other.
Lupus-whether of erythematous or of the common form, belongs without doubt to the tubercular family of skin diseases with a sycotic element present.
The malignancies develop at any age. Malignancies of the skin are more violent and intractable in proportion as the Sycotic taint is increased. (R)
All forms of facial skin diseases that are contracted in Barber’s shops except Tinea favosa.
In scalp and beard Tinea circumscripta which cause a form of alopecia.
All form of ringworm.
The suppression of ringworm brings rheumatism, chronic headaches, stomach, troubles, chronic bronchitis, chronic coughs, melancholia, mania, hysteria in women and malignancies Variola and varicella in all their different forms have very marked characteristics of the sycotic element present, or of SYPHILIS and SYCOSIS combined.
The serum of vaccination has, without a doubt, both of these elements present.
Erythematous eczema; erysipelas, especially in the phlegmonous variety; herpes zoster and impetigo contagiosa.
Psoriasis has the gouty element so characteristic of Sycosis.
The spider dot (tertiary) upper portion of face usually about half an inch below the lower eyelid or over centre of malar bone consists of little sprangle of dilated capillaries, resembling somewhat the meshes of the spider’s web. In children-pale of bleached or quite red and prominent. Red mole-a tertiary symptom, pinhead to pea- smooth round shiny often red as blood, appearance of polka dot on skin.
If sycotic element is present, in abdominal operations, the possibility of a stitch abscess is increased.
Condylomata.
In Ichthyosis (fish skin) we find all the chronic miasms and were we find them all present, we usually find an incurable skin disease- especially if hereditary. often the moles and warty eruptions of SYCOSIS. All miasms are present in erysipelas carcinoma epithelioma – lupus.
In nevus or congenital markings of the skin we have all the miasm as in elephantiasis.
ADDITIONAL NOTES
The Sycotic patient is barometer. When it rains he has pain; when the atmosphere is filled with moisture he suffers; when the elements clash, his organism is at war with itself; the rain, the snow, the cold, the barometer’s rise and fall are his enemies.
Sycosis, if present in any form, or in any stage, usually takes the precedence of three miasms.
Sycosis. While there is much amelioration by eliminative processes, natural eliminations such as diarrhoea, free urination or even perspiration does not ameliorate. (R)
Sycotic manifestations are characterised by slowness of recovery.
Psora develops the itch or itching papule. Syphilis the virulent open ulcer, Sycosis the catarrhal discharge. The genus epidemicus.
Suppressions.
Syphilis files to the meanings of the brain and to the brain itself to the larynx, throat in general, eyes bones and periosteum.
Psora spends it force when suppressed upon the nervous system largely, or upon nerve centres, often producing nervous and mental phenomena of a serious character, all ameliorated when an eruption is thrown up on the skin.
Sycosis attacks the internal organs, especially the pelvic and sexual organs in the worst specific form of inflammation producing hypertrophic, abscesses, cystic degeneration, mucous cysts, etc., and when thrown upon the brain its produces headaches, severe acute mania, central insanity, moral degeneracy, dishonesty, etc.
