SKIN. [46] [Psor.]

Skin has a dirty, dingy look, as if patient never washed ; in some places looks coarse as if bathed in oil ; sebaceous glands secrete in excess.
Eczema behind ears, on scalp and in bends of elbows and armpits, accompanied by abscesses affecting bones ; nothing relieved, but the eruption disappeared, to reappear again, years after, on wrists ; there was then a patch on each wrist as large as a half dollar, with intense itching, preventing sleep, with constant desire to scratch.
Itch : dry on arms and chest, most severe on finger joints ; followed by boils ; inveterate cases with symptoms of tuberculosis ; in recent cases, with eruption in bends of elbows and around wrists, repeated outbreak of single pustules after main eruption seems all gone.
