This may be considered as a variety of the Itch, although it was formerly looked upon as identical with Crusta Lactea. Like, that, it is confined to children, but differs from it, in appearing first on the ear, breaking out in small pustules, filled with some kind of fluid, and attended with violent itching, particularly at night, while the Crusta Lactea appears first on the forehead in irregular large pustules, and is attended with but slight itching.

Treatment

This form of eruption is much more obstinate than the other variety, and should generally be treated by a skilful physician. Sepia, Calc., Sulph., Merc, Staph., Graph.are among the prominent remedies.

Dose

One drop, or eight globules, in a tumbler of water, a table-spoonful morning and night; or a powder, or three globules, dry on the tongue.
