A Case of ‘Nasal Papilloma’—Cured by Individualised Medicine

Case Presentation

A 45 years old male patient presented with rapid, moderately painful, ‘pea-shaped’ warty growth in left nostril for the last 3 months ([Fig. 1]) with occasionally severe bleeding from touch and sometimes pain in right ear. He was stout and dark in complexion, hypertensive and non-diabetic. Past history: he had suffered from ‘chickenpox’ and ‘bilateral hydrocele (operated)’; sister had ‘epilepsy’; he was a medical practitioner by profession and was non-vegetarian and non-smoker. He had good appetite, thirst and was ambithermic in atmospheric thermal relation. The patient was very much fond of ‘butter (++ + )’, ‘sweet (++)’ and ‘fish (+)’. He had no complaint about perspiration and bowel habit but occasional burning sensation along urethra during micturition. He was mentally very much ‘vindictive’ by nature. On physical examination (general and systemic), no significant abnormality had been found. Through local clinical examination, it was provisionally diagnosed ‘pea shaped’ warty growth.
