HOLISTIC HOMEOPATHIC APPROACH IN GUATTATE PSORIASIS

Abstract

Guttate psoriasis is an autoimmune dermatological condition characterized by small, red, scaly, drop-like lesions predominantly affecting the trunk and extremities. It often follows streptococcal throat infections and is more commonly seen in children and young adults. Worldwide, psoriasis affects about 2–3% of the population, and guttate psoriasis constitutes a significant proportion, especially in younger age groups. While conventional treatment offers symptomatic relief, relapses are common. Homeopathy provides a holistic and individualized approach aimed at treating not only the skin manifestations but also the underlying susceptibility and general constitution of the patient. This paper presents a case of guttate psoriasis managed successfully through homeopathic treatment, highlighting the importance of detailed case taking, miasmatic analysis, and individualized remedy selection. It emphasizes the improvement in skin lesions, reduction in recurrence, and enhancement in general well-being, underscoring the role of homeopathy in managing chronic autoimmune skin disorders.
