ABSTRACT:
The inflammatory skin illness known as psoriasis is a common and long-lasting one that is characterized by elevated, distinct, erythematous skin lesions of varying sizes, covered in silvery-white scales. Psoriasis has become more common in recent times. A variety of psoriasis varieties exist, Plaque psoriasis being one of them. It is rather common and affects the face, ears, scalp, trunk, and extremities. This case study highlights the effectiveness of homoeopathic medications in treating plaque psoriasis and highlights their importance in treating the condition. It poses significant challenges in management due to its complex etiology and varied clinical presentations. There is hyperproliferation of keratinocytes (which play a crucial role in protecting the skin and the underlying tissues from various external factors), meaning they multiply faster than normal. The patients exhibited symptoms such as dry, itchy, scaly, silvery-white patches, inflammation, redness, excessive itching, bleeding, and seasonal variations. Through a holistic approach, individualized homeopathic prescriptions, and regular follow- ups, significant improvements were observed in both cases. For the first case Nux Vomica 200 and Sulfur 200 were prescribed, while for the second case, Natrium Muriaticum 200 and Sulfur 200 were administered. Over subsequent visits, symptoms gradually diminished, leading to the eventual resolution of psoriatic lesions and associated health issues. The incorporation of dietary recommendations and lifestyle modifications further contributed to the overall well-being of the patients. These cases underscore the potential of homeopathy as a valuable therapeutic option for chronic plaque psoriasis, emphasizing personalized care and addressing underlying factors—further research is to validate these findings and explore the broader application of homeopathic medicine in dermatological care.
