EFFECTIVENESS OF INDIVIDUALISED HOMOEOPATHY TREATMENT IN PALMOPLANTAR PSORIASIS: AN EVIDENCE BASED CASE STUDY

Abstract

Psoriasis is a chronic immune-mediated inflammatory skin disease with multiple phenotypically distinct subtypes e.g. plaque, flexural, guttate, pustular or erythrodermic. Psoriasis has a major genetic component, with heritability estimated to be 60–90%. High-impact and difficult-to-treat psoriasis sites include scalp, face, nails, genitalia, palms and soles.

Case Summary: We present a case of 46 years female suffering with severe marked symptoms of palmo-plantar Psoriasis which was treated and improved by individualised homoeopathy remedies. Evidence-based illustrations were done before and after treatment with Palmo-plantar Psoriasis area and severity index (PPASI) score and photographs to ascertain the prognosis. Marked improvement was seen in lesions which is evidenced photographically and with PPASI score. This case shows the effectiveness of Homoeopathy in treating the Palmo-plantar Psoriasis.
