This is general information about a homeopathic remedy, not a prescription or dosing advice. In homeopathy the correct remedy and potency are chosen for the whole individual symptom picture by a qualified homeopath — the same remedy is not right for everyone. Do not self-medicate, and consult a qualified homeopathic doctor (and your physician for serious or persistent conditions) before taking any remedy.

- Anal fissures and cracks with sharp, splinter-like pain
- Warts, especially large, jagged, or bleeding ones
- Mouth ulcers and cracks at the corners of the mouth
- Ulcers with a stinging, splinter-like sensation
- Offensive discharges and a general irritability
Characteristic symptom picture
Homeopaths look for these guiding features when considering Nitricum Acidum.

- Warts that may bleed on washing or contact
- Strong-smelling urine and offensive discharges

Potency
Nitricum Acidum is available in several potencies such as 6C, 30C and 200C, as well as lower and mother-tincture forms in some cases. The right potency and repetition depend entirely on the individual case and are decided by a qualified homeopath - this page gives no dosing instructions.
The Nitric Acid picture and modalities
Nitricum Acidum is defined by sharp, splinter-like pains and by trouble at the junctions of skin and mucous membrane - fissures at the anus, cracks at the corners of the mouth, and warty growths that may bleed. Discharges tend to be offensive and the urine strong-smelling. The temperament is often anxious about health, irritable, and slow to forgive. A homeopath weighs these keynotes together with the whole constitution rather than singling one out.
Before you consider Nitric Acid
This is background information, not a recommendation to self-treat. Persistent fissures, bleeding warts, or non-healing ulcers should be examined by a doctor, since they can have causes that need proper diagnosis and, sometimes, surgical care. In homeopathy the right remedy and potency are chosen for the whole individual by a qualified practitioner, and the same remedy does not suit everyone. Homeopathy should complement, not replace, conventional care.
