A 3-year-old baby, Master V.S. (PIN: 32107) was suffering from Eczema with xerosis (extremely dry skin). The patient had visited Life Force Chembur clinic in May 2017 for getting his eczema complaint treated.

The baby was suffering from Eczema since 4-5 months. The condition was also observed mildly affecting him after 1 year after his birth. It had relapsed in the past 4-5 months before coming to Life Force.

The patient had taken conventional treatment in the same period of 4-5 months, such as topical applications like Fusigen ointment and Dosetil cream.

The patient had complaints such as extremely rough skin with dryness. There were reddish rashes with severe itching in the affected areas. The patient’s condition used to turn worse at night. The areas affected were cheeks, back, forearms and the left side of the neck. The condition was spreading and increasing as soon as the conventional ointments were stopped.

The entire detailed case history was given by the patient's mother. The case was analyzed and studied by Dr. Shah. The child was given homeopathic medications based on his condition.
