► A child, twenty months old, had
what appeared to be a simple case of herpes labiales, which had broken
out six weeks before; it consisted of two small irregular shaped patches
half an inch or more in diameter, commencing beneath the labial
commissure, and extending towards the mesial line of the chin; the
crusts were thick, of a dirty yellowish-brown color, surrounded by an inflamed areola
and suppurating border; I prescribed for my patient; when she
returned at the expiration of two weeks, the patches had united in the
centre, and extending downwards covered the entire chin, while
surrounding its borders was an occasional pustule, denoting the invasion
of the cheeks; the mother now informed me that the left hip was
involved, and an examination of the part disclosed several patches and
pustules extending from the anterior superior spine in an oblique
direction, upwards and backwards towards the lumbar region; the
characteristic crusts had become detached by contact with the clothing,
and in consequence it presented an angry and inflamed appearance, not at
all unlike a well-defined case of herpes zoster; the new crop which was
being developed, began by small pustules on an inflamed base, some of
the size of a pin-head, others as large as a common pea, single and
discrete at first, but as they approached each other, or where they were
more numerous, inclining to become confluent; the least abrasion of the
cuticle was transformed into a suppurating pustule. I prescribed
Graphites, Hepar, Arsenicum, Merc. sol., and Mezereum, in various
dilutions, from the 3d to 30th, and 200th potencies, for about two
months, without the least apparent benefit; the eruption had now covered
both cheeks, and several pustules on the nose, forehead, and neck
foreshadowed its onward march, while the patch on the hip had extended
to the spinal column; the itching was very troublesome and persistent,
and the child’s sleep much disturbed in consequence. The eldest boy
(about twelve) had a well-defined case of herpes phlyctenoides, as large
as the palm of the hand, on the left side of the neck, from the ear in
front to the spine behind, and extending from the hairy scalp down the
neck about three inches. The other two children had small irregular
patches on the face and left arm; and wherever the skin was abraded on
the hands suppurating pustules were to be seen. I gave the three
youngest a few doses of Camphor, and in a week the whole trouble had
disappeared. I allowed the oldest boy to recover by the natural process
of the drug, and the neck is not yet clear of the crusts, but there has
been no increase of the symptoms since discontinuing the Sarsaparilla, [13]. ►
