What is molluscum contagiosum? Molluscum contagiosum is a viral skin infection that causes small, painless, round, flesh coloured bumps on the skin. Molluscum contagiosum is very common among children aged 1 to 10 years, but can affect adults as well. Molluscum contagiosum is caused by pox virus called the molluscum contagiosum virus. It remains contagious until eruptions are gone. How does molluscum contagiosum spread? Molluscum contagiosum spreads via direct skin-to-skin contact, touching a surface or object contaminated with pox virus such as toys, towels, clothes. Molluscum contagiosum also spreads through sexual contact with a person infected with molluscum contagiosum virus. People with a weak immune system are at a higher risk of acquiring molluscum contagiosum infection. Symptoms of molluscum contagiosum The eruptions in molluscum contagiosum are small, round, painless, pearly, flesh coloured papules. The papules have a dimple in the centre. The eruption could be between 1mm and 5mm in diameter. The most common site for molluscum contagiosum eruptions are the face, armpit, neck, arms and hands. In adults, the genitals, lower abdomen and inner thighs are involved if the infection is sexually transmitted. Itching and irritation in eruptions may be present. Scratching the eruptions leads to spread of virus to the nearby skin. Secondary bacterial infection may arise in the eruptions. The eruption usually disappears within 6 to 18 months. However, in immuno suppressed persons, the lesions may last as long as 4 to 5 years.

What are Moles? Moles are a common type of skin growth which develops from the pigment producing cells called melanocytes. Moles are clusters of melanocytes that appear as brown or black spots on the skin. They may even be flesh colored, reddish or bluish in appearance. They may be flat or raised, oval or round. They can appear in any part of the body and are medically known as melanocytic nevus. Moles may be present at birth and in such cases, are known as birthmarks or congenital moles. Congenital moles have a higher risk of being a melanoma. Sometimes moles appear during childhood or adolescence and are known as common acquired moles. These common acquired moles tend to increase in number with age. Moles with an asymmetrical appearance, uneven colour and a tendency to evolve and change are more likely to be a melanoma.

The brain is an enigma for scientists, and its dynamics are not so simple to be easily deconstructed and understood. As the modern medical world inches towards a more profound unraveling and a better understanding of the complexities of this 10 trillion-celled mass called brain, the last century has seen considerable progress being made in realizing (pardon me for not using the word ‘understanding’!) the connection of the mind with the physical body. This quest has also contributed to the discovery of an entirely new set of afflictions that can be described as psychosomatic disorders.     The term psychosomatic disorder defies a clear-cut definition. But broadly, the term mostly refers to physical disorders whose causation lies in psychological or emotional factors. For example, a particularly stressful event, like grief or bereavement arising from the loss of a loved one, may in one individual trigger high blood pressure shortly thereafter or even a heart attack. In another person, the same sense of grief might result in a peptic ulcer or a series of asthmatic attacks. A third individual, equally grief-stricken, might not show such symptoms of sickness at all. Mental and Emotional Triggers Social and psychological stress can trigger or aggravate a wide variety of diseases, such as diabetes mellitus, systemic lupus erythematosus (lupus), leukemia, and multiple sclerosis (MS). Even ailments like colitis, spasm, Basedow’s disease, and dysmenorrhea mostly manifest psychosomatic causality. Certain cancers like lung cancers are also believed to be triggered or aggravated by emotional and psychological stress. Various lifestyle diseases like anorexia nervosa or enuresis, which have an unusually high incidence among adolescents and women, are popular examples of …

Migraine is a disorder characterized by headache, specifically affecting one side of the head (i.e. unilateral side). Migraine headaches are mostly throbbing or pulsating in nature. Common accompanying symptoms are nausea, vomiting and sensitivity to light, and noise. Homeopathy carries an excellent scope for treating migraine.  Homeopathic treatment is required in two phases to bring relief, especially in migraine. First, during acute migraine episodes, homeopathic medicines help to relieve pain in the head and its attending symptoms like nausea and vomiting. Once acute pain subsides, the treatment should not be stopped. Relief from acute pain is the first phase of treatment. The treatment is required further, which becomes the second phase of treatment, where homeopathy works in treating the chronic tendency of migraine. These medicines help to prevent the recurrence of migraine and also reduce one’s dependency on medicines. Homeopathic medicines do not work superficially but go to the core of the problem and focus on rooting it out in the second phase of treatment. Safe option with zero side effects Homeopathy treats migraine with zero side effects as the medicines used for treatment are of natural origin. Homeopathic medicines work in a very natural and safe way. The basic approach of these medicines is to stimulate or boost the body’s self-healing mechanism to a level where the body can heal itself naturally. Homeopathic medicines are safe to use among people of all age groups. The time it will take to cure any case of migraine depends on several factors. These include the duration of the …
