Palmar psoriasis managed by individualised homoeopathic treatment: A case report

Abstract

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disorder with cutaneous and extracutaneous manifestations characterized by circumscribed, erythematous, dry, scaling plaques of various sizes, usually covered by silvery white lamellar scales. It is associated with arthropathy as well as disorders such as diabetes mellitus and coronary artery disease. Therapeutic guidelines offer a wide range of topical and systemic treatments, yet a number of patients are often dissatisfied with the treatment of their disease and, in consequence, seek other alternatives. Clinical experience and studies identify a positive role of Homoeopathy in skin conditions including Palmar psoriasis. This case treated with individualized Homoeopathic medicine over a period of 2 month, shows significant improvement which is evident from the photographs. This case shows the usefulness of Homoeopathy in treating the Palmar psoriasis.
