Young Girl Cured of Psoriasis with Homeopathy

A female patient aged 19 years named S.U. (Patient ID: 12982) visited Life Force on 28th September 2019, accompanied by her family. She had been suffering from palmoplantar psoriasis for 2 years. The lesions were present on the soles, her palms & legs. Scaling was mostly present on the soles only. On all lesions, itching & dryness were present. Hyperpigmentation was present on the palms. She was applying a steroid-based local application named mometasone furoate once a day for 15 days.

Associated complaints:

Her family noted her bed-wetting issue for 2-3 months.

Family history:

There was no positive family history present.

Mental generals:

She used to get nervous easily. Family members observed her irritation, especially before exams or any stage performance. They also mentioned her tantrums. Additionally, she would often shout at her parents or friends.

After a thorough case evaluation, Dr. Rajesh Shah advised on necessary dietary modifications and gave supplements to support her health. She was also advised to undergo a few blood tests to assess the status of her overall health. After analysis, she was prescribed two months of homeopathic medicines initially.

Follow-ups:

The 1st follow-up was taken on April 14, 2020. Her mother explained that all the lesions were stable & no new eruptions were noted. But mild itching was present on the lesions. After analyzing the case in detail, Dr. Rajesh Shah prescribed medicines for the next two months.

The second follow-up was conducted on August 7, 2020, and the patient’s mother reported that the lesions had improved significantly, with no new lesions appearing. Also, the itching reduced considerably.

Based on the above feedback, Dr. Shah prescribed medicines for the next two months.

In the next follow-up, which was taken on 30th November, 20 patients'' fathers mentioned that there was improvement by 90 percent, no new lesions were noted, and there was no itching experienced by the patient. Based on this follow-up, Dr. Shah prescribed medicines for another two months.

On 10th Jan, 21 patients'' mothers mentioned that there were no new lesions present. Her itching and scaling have reduced considerably. Based on this follow-up, Dr. Shah prescribed medicines for another two months.

On 19th Feb, 21 patients'' parents mentioned that her condition is improving more. Itching & scaling also improved. Based on these details, Dr. Shah prescribed medicines for the next two months.

In the next follow-up, which was taken on 08th May 21, her mother informed us that her lesions are getting further better. And no episodes of itching were noted. Scaling was completely better. After analyzing this, Dr. Shah prescribed medicines for another two months.

In the last follow-up on 20th June 2021, her parents informed us that her psoriasis is completely better, with itching & scaling not noticed for many months.

Conclusion:

The case demonstrates a significant and sustained improvement in chronic psoriasis through individualized homeopathic treatment. The patient experienced a marked reduction in scaling, itching, and lesion thickness without the use of steroid medicine. This highlights the potential of homeopathy as a safe, effective & holistic approach in managing chronic autoimmune skin conditions like psoriasis.
