A lady from Chhattisgarh overcame stubborn facial pigmentation through homeopathy

A 45-year-old housewife [Patient ID: 31816] came with a complaint of persistent black discoloration around the eyes, which had gradually spread to her face and anterior neck over the past year. The discoloration had become a significant concern for her, affecting her confidence and overall sense of well-being. Despite trying various conventional medicines and topical treatments, the roughness of the skin only worsened, while the pigmentation remained unresponsive. There was no associated itching or burning present. When she first came for treatment, she was already under a long list of conventional medications, including oral immunosuppressants, antihistamines, vitamin supplements, and topical formulations. Local applications like Melano-TX cream, Avene emulsion, Azelac RU serum, face wash, and cleansing gel

Physical Generals:

She had average veg meals, with a strong craving for spicy, sour foods and fruits, but an aversion to sweets. Her thirst was average, and she had profuse perspiration, especially on her face and forehead. The patient was thermally chilly, and her menstrual cycles were regular, though often accompanied by minor complaints like headaches, vomiting, vulval itching, or leg pain.

Mental Generals:

The patient is gentle, composed, confident, and precise. However, she was also irritable at times, mostly when her skin condition flared or when she felt helpless about the lack of visible progress. 

Personal History:

She lived in Chhattisgarh with her husband, who worked as a steel trader, and had two sons—one studying chartered accountancy and the other in 10th grade in school.

Past Medical History:

She had previously suffered from typhoid, fungal skin infections, and hair loss.

Surgical History: She had undergone surgical intervention for a slipped disc more than two decades ago. 

Family History: There was a strong family history of chronic and lifestyle-related diseases:

Mother: Diabetes

Brother and Sister: Both have hypothyroidism

Father: Hepatitis C

Maternal Grandfather: Diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease

Maternal Grandmother: Asthma

Paternal Grandfather: Tuberculosis

Homoeopathic intervention was initiated with a homoeopathic remedy based on her physical, mental, and constitutional profile, by Dr.Rajesh Shah. 

Follow-Ups:

After starting homeopathic treatment, the patient was advised to undergo regular follow-ups to monitor changes. Improvement was slow but steady, and the patient remained consistent with her medicines.

August 2017: Within 3–4 months of starting treatment, she noticed that the dark patches were becoming lighter. Skin roughness had slightly reduced, and no new spots had appeared. She felt hopeful as this was the first sign of improvement after months of disappointment with other treatments.

May 2018: About a year later, the patient showed around 50% improvement. The black discoloration on the face and neck had faded further. She mentioned that her skin looked cleaner, and she had started going out without makeup. She felt more confident.

October 2019: After more than 2 years of regular treatment, the patient showed about 70% improvement. Old spots had faded, and no new patches appeared. Her skin felt smoother, and even her relatives had started noticing the change.

August 2021: The patient shared that her skin was now almost normal, with no new eruptions, and the old pigmentation had become very light. There was a small episode of dryness and roughness around Diwali (due to cracker smoke), but it settled quickly.

April 2022: She was 80–85% better. The dark areas were now faint, and her skin tone looked much more even. She was extremely satisfied and regular with her medicine.

February 2023: The patient reported being 90% better. There were no complaints in the last few months, and she said, “I just want to continue the same medicine because it’s working.”

July 2024: In her most recent follow-up, she said she was happy and comfortable, with no new pigmentation. Her skin was stable, and there had been no recurrence.

Conclusion:

With homeopathic care at Lifeforce, the patient achieved over 90% improvement in stubborn facial pigmentation, restoring both her skin and confidence, where conventional therapies had failed.
