"Individualized Homoeopathic Approach in the Treatment of Plaque Psoriasis: An Evidence-Based Case Report"

Abstract

Psoriasis is a prevalent multisystem autoimmune condition characterized by round, red plaques covered with thick white scales that may appear across the back, chest scalp. In addition to its physical manifestations, the disorder has significant emotional and psychological effects, often contributing to diminished self-esteem, social stigma, and heightened stress. These psychosocial challenges can further interfere with daily interactions and personal relationships. To assess treatment progress, before-and-after photographs were used to document visible changes. This evidence-based case illustrates the potential role of individualized homeopathic management in plaque psoriasis and may provide a basis for future research in this field.
Case Summary
A 61-year-old male presented to the OPD of Dr D Y Patil Homoeopathic Medical College and Research Centre, Pune, Maharashtra with complaints of persistent, thick, coppery-red eruptions on the ear pinnae, scalp, back, and chest, lasting for two years. Following 1 year and 8 months of continuous treatment with individualized homeopathic medicine, the condition was completely resolved, with no reported side effects. Photographic documentation before and after treatment was used to evaluate the improvement. This evidence-based case may serve as a foundation for further research into the use of individualized homeopathy in the management of plaque psoriasis.
