A 16 yr old girl had visited in 2019 for very chronic taenia infection and associated dermatitis on back, hip area, eye brows etc off & On. Lot of allopathy has been taken as this issue is present since she was a toddler . The infection was very chronic and had been there for 14-15 yrs now, the parents were worried if its even curable or not or if homeopathy can cure such a chronic fungal infection.
After initial case taking PHOSPHORUS was given as constitutional and a dose of sulphur 1 m to start with. Relief was instant , but complaints recurred every 6 months or so.
Again in Dec 20 I gave Sulph 10 m and then Sul LM which even caused a bit aggravation in itching but tenia didn’t go away even now.
Dandruff was also a prominent symptom.
Here are case details-

REMEDY that finally helped was RING WORM 1 m ( nosode )given daily for a month in close supervision which finally cured the case .
