Sri Aurobindo — Nirodbaran Talukdar

August 16, 1937

J’s eczema is still spreading... She can’t resist scratching it.

How is it to cure if she scratches?

She asks whether it is any good prolonging the treatment with this ointment – Acecholex. So will it be better now to take sun-treatment with oil?

Very difficult to say. This is a thing in its nature obstinate and needing a long treatment. Constant changing of medicaments more often encourages the obstinacy than curing it.
