2. Discharge & colour: Dry skin; discharges offensive, acrid, excoriating (1,3). (Sulphur)| Moist, clear sticky exudate; white-centred wheals with red areola (2,4). (Urtica Urens)
3. Modalities: open air, dry weather, motion (1,3). (Sulphur)| rubbing, warmth (2,4). (Urtica Urens)
4. Causation: Suppressed eruptions, vaccinations, alcohol, drugs, psora (1,3). (Sulphur)| Shellfish, stings, overheating→sudden cooling, suppression of milk/eruptions (2,4). (Urtica Urens)
5. Sensation: Voluptuous itching (“good to scratch”), burning (1,3). (Sulphur)| Stinging-burning, formication, prickling (2,4). (Urtica Urens)
6. Thermal relation: Hot patient; worse heat/warmth (1,3). (Sulphur)| Hot skin but chilly patient; worse cold (2,4). (Urtica Urens)
7. Appearance: Dry, rough, scaly, unhealthy; red orifices; injuries suppurate (1,3). (Sulphur)| Raised white-centred wheals, erythema, vesicles, oedema (2,4). (Urtica Urens)
8. Food desire: Desires sweets, spicy, fats, alcohol; aversion to milk, eggs, meat, bathing (1,3). (Sulphur)| Aversion to shellfish, rich foods; no strong desires (2,4). (Urtica Urens)

Quick differentiator: Sulphur = chronic, dry, hot, philosophical. Urtica urens = acute, stinging, cold-aggravated, from shellfish/suppression.
