SUCCESSFUL HOMEOPATHIC MANAGEMENT OF PEDIATRIC TRICHOTILLOMANIA REFRACTORY TO CONVENTIONAL THERAPY: A CASE TREATED AT DR BATRA’S HOMEOPATHY CLINIC

Abstract

Background: Trichotillomania is a psychosomatic impulse-control disorder commonly seen in children and adolescents, often resistant to conventional dermatological and pharmacological interventions. Case Profile: A 12-year-old female presented with an uncontrollable habit of hair plucking from bilateral temporal regions and later from the legs, associated with intense itching and emotional triggers. Intervention: Individualized classical homeopathic treatment based on totality of symptoms, constitutional assessment, and miasmatic understanding was administered over nine months. Outcome: Complete remission of hair-pulling behavior, resolution of itching, emotional stabilization, and visible hair regrowth were achieved. Conclusion: This case demonstrates that individualized homeopathic intervention can bring sustained transformation in pediatric trichotillomania, even after failure of conventional treatment, as observed at Dr Batra’s Homeopathy Clinic
