Young Man Finds Hope in Homeopathy for Psoriasis

A 24-year-old male patient from Maharashtra, Mr. A.R.S. (Patient ID: 43868), started homeopathic treatment through the online protocol of Life Force, in October 2020, for his complaint of psoriasis.

He was suffering from a skin condition for more than a year. The eruptions of psoriasis were present on his back, neck, forehead, scalp, and face. Multiple eruptions were present on the scalp and back of the ears. The skin condition had started with a small pimple, and, later, the disease was spreading gradually. The patient was experiencing excessive itching over the skin. Dry skin caused cracks and bleeding sometimes. He approached nearby physicians who prescribed him local steroids and got temporary relief for the symptoms only. 

His appetite was average. He had no specific cravings for food items. The thirst for water was average. The patient had no issues related to the urine or stool. His sleep was sound, with no disturbances and no issues.

The patient was doing the studies. He was staying with his parents and younger sister. His mood was usually normal. He had no issues with mingling with others. No major stress was present in his life. He had a very cordial relationship with his parents and family.

He did not suffer from any other major illnesses in the past. No other major illness was noticed in his family.

After studying the case in detail, Dr. Shah prescribed some research-based homeopathic medicines along with constitutional medicines. As per his disease, the diet was advised to follow.

Follow-Ups:

By November 12, 2020. In addition to the previous eruptions, the patient was experiencing new ones on the cheeks, chin, back, shoulder, neck, and dorsum of the hands.

The patient stated on December 18, 2020, that the medications had made a slight improvement in his condition. There was a modest decrease in itching. The disease''s rate of spread had decreased. The scaling and dryness continued. Overall, there was a slight variation in the symptoms observed with the medications.

The patient was still using local steroidal creams as of March 28, 2021, and every time he intended to stop using them, his symptoms would worsen and spread. Given thorough advice on how to minimize the resurfacing effects by weaning off and ceasing steroidal cream use.

By May 18, 2021, no additional advancements were observed. Thus, the situation was thoroughly examined, and Dr. Shah recommended the updated medications.

On November 26, 2021, following three to four months of treatment, the disease''s spread stabilized and the scalp patches significantly improved. The patient was instructed to moisturize the areas and adhere to a diet because the dryness and flakiness continued.

On 22nd Jan 2022, the patient was overall better with the eruptions, and the condition was stable. Only a slight spread on the scalp was seen. The itching and dryness had reduced.

On the 1st of April 2022, there was a mild spread on the scalp near the forehead from the last 2 months. The probable cause could be the patient shifted to the hostel from the home atmosphere.

On 16th Dec 2022, the condition was much more stable. The itching and dryness were also reduced.

On 24th August 2020, he updated, being almost 50% to 60% better in his complaints. The spread had completely stopped. The itching on the skin was minimal. The hyperpigmentation was still present, but it was reducing gradually. She was overall better with the medicines.
