SUCCESSFUL HOMEOPATHIC MANAGEMENT OF STEROID-INDUCED FOOT DISCOLORATION AT DR BATRA’S

Abstract

A 23-year-old male presented with bilateral foot discoloration for eight months following use of low-quality shoes and subsequent prolonged application of topical steroid (Mometasone). The condition progressed to hypopigmentation, wrinkling and offensive foot perspiration. Based on a detailed homeopathic assessment including mental, physical generals and characteristic PQRS symptoms, Lycopodium 200C was prescribed as the constitutional remedy. Marked improvement in pigmentation, sweating and mental stress was observed over 3 months. This case highlights the effectiveness of individualized homeopathic prescribing in steroid-damaged skin presentations.
