Dear sir/mam, I am here with a question for my sister. It's been 3 years, she is having issue with her left hand fore finger. She is having pain and dizziness in her finger every time it comes in contact with water. In winter problem is more. We have visited to so many doctors like dermatologist, rheumatologist, orthopedic but still not able to find a solution. Also tried so many medications and tests but still not able to find the root cause of this. Once a doctor operated and cut out a small area below the nails saying that it's a tumor. But it didn't help. Instead, after the operation it feels like the finger is getting thinner than before. Sometimes she gets relief after taking some allergic medicine. So now we don't know, to which specialist we should go and what treatment should take. Please guide and suggest on the treatment. Thanks.

Based on the symptoms and seeing the hand and finger, it can be treated by homeopathy. Homeopathic treatment is painless and safe. No side effects. In fact, many times, the patient will have side benefits while taking treatment for the main issue. Your sister needs comprehensive treatment and it takes some time. Please let her start taking homeopathic medicine, preliminary dose arsenicum album 200-once daily in the morning for 5 days. Book online appointment/consultation with me -(commencing from text consult rs 149, audio-rs 300 and video- rs 400) for further more comprehensive prescription and treatment.
