Parents of 6-years-old Master D (PIN 28025) from Karnataka approached Life Force Homeopathy in February 2016 for the treatment of vitiligo.
His mother noticed a hypopigmented spot near his left upper corner of the eye in 2015 when he was 3 years old. Gradually, the hypopigmented spots appeared on the left lower eyelid and right upper eyelid as well. The parents consulted a dermatologist and diagnosis was made as vitiligo. The dermatologist prescribed tacrolimus ointment (immunosuppressive) to apply locally. The hypopigmented spots disappeared after using tacrolimus, but, on stopping tacrolimus ointment, the spots appeared again.
Parents took him to a local homeopath and started treatment but the improvement was not significant.
Master D also had associated complaints of constipation, with which he suffered since his birth. He suffered from allergic rhinitis, which was treated with the conventional medicines. He had a family history of allergic rhinitis and asthma.
As mentioned by his parents, he would love to eat sour and spicy food. He has craving for lemons and oranges. He would perspire excessively, particularly on the neck and scalp. He could not tolerate heat in any form.
Both of his parents were doctors working in a medical college in Karnataka. His mother stated about his emotional state that he gets angry easily. He would bite, throw things, or cry in anger. It would be difficult for the parents to control his anger. He had a fear of the dark.
