Epidermal Hyperplasia Henry Stevenson, Australia
Tycoon was treated by our vet surgery in October 2017. He had been diagnosed initially with Greasy Heel, and several times large areas of granulation tissue had been cut away from the skin on his lower limbs. He is now 15 years old and has battled this most of his life.
Eventually the vets at the University at Gatton did histopathology of some tissue samples and made a diagnosis of Epidermal Hyperplasia with Hyperkeratinosis. What this means, is that from any injury on his skin he makes an excessive amount of reactive granulation tissue, which then gets weeping, smelly, infected and painful. The whole leg may swell when it starts, then he will get stiff in the joints. His owners have found that using bandages and pain killers help him a little as it gets quite itchy. He has a lovely nature and is otherwise quite healthy.
At the start of our treatment the sores on the legs were making it difficult for him to walk.

He was treated with a single
homeopathic medicine called
Malandrinum. This homeopath
was able to put right in 5 months what conventional veterinary medicine and surgery couldn’t do in many years!
Burnett's indications of this remedy are: "Lower half of body; greasy skin and greasy eruption. Slow pustulation, never ending, as one heals another appears." Impetigo, ecthyma, fat, greasy-looking pustular eruptions are particularly acted on by this remedy.
Malandrinum is made from this same greasy tissue.
