Cases of Psoriasis

This is the case of Mr. M. S (Patient Ref. No. L5560), a male patient, aged 40 years, who reported at the clinic with complaints of psoriasis since 20 years. The patient had these skin eruptions all over the body and there was much itching and scaling. His complaints would get worse every winter. He had taken allopathic treatment for the same for a long time but that would give him only temporary relief for a short while and then the lesions would resurface again.

He also had complaints of premature ejaculation since the last 3-4 months. The patient had a stout constitution and other general features such as appetite, stools, urination, etc were normal.

There was history of stress a few years back when he was starting his factory but that gradually settled down over a period of time. There was a lot of anxiety about the illness since it had lasted so many years and there was no significant relief

There was a history of his sister having psoriasis and his father had bronchial asthma.

Based on the above history, he was prescribed a homoeopathic medicine called Sepia and there was significant relief in his complaints within 9-10 months of homoeopathic treatment. He was more than 75% better in this span, as much as he had never been in the last 20 years. The itching had almost disappeared. He kept on getting a few sporadic new lesions during the course of the treatment but then would get controlled effectively with homoeopathic medicines.

This is the case of Mr. S. T (Patient Ref. No. L-6731), a 27 years old male patient who reported to the clinic with complaints of Psoriasis since 4 years. The complaints had increased since 1 month. He had extensive scaling lesions all over the body. There was intense itching which would be worse during winters and during the night time. He had taken allopathic as well as Homoeopathic treatment in the past for a long time but did not benefit much from these.

The patient was of an average built with an average appetite. He liked sweets and milk. He would sweat profusely especially on the back and on the chest. Sleep was sound with dreams of daily events that were mostly unremembered.

The patient had a friendly nature but he had become withdrawn off late. He would like to have the company of his friends but since few months he had begun to feel uncomfortable in the company of others due to his skin problems. He would not express his feelings and would not share his grief with anyone. He had the tendency to suppress his grief and would divert his mind to something else. He would frequently brood about his problems. Previously he had been very irritable and would shout at the opposite person and vent his anger but now he would suppress his anger also. The major stress in his life at that time was going through a break-off with his loved one and he had been very depressed recently on account of the same. He was very fastidious by nature and was very particular about the way he would keep his things.

He had suffered from jaundice in the past and apart from this there was no history of any other illness in the past. His father had bronchial asthma and ischemic heart disease.
Based on the above history the patient was prescribed a remedy called Sepia which was supported by another remedy called Carcinosin. Within 4 months of treatment his complaints were better by more than 90%. The rashes which were present all over his body had almost disappeared and there was no itching anymore. He did get a few new spots on the arms during the course of the treatment but these disappeared with the medicines within a short time. Overall he did very well with the treatment and that too within such a short span of time.

This case illustrates that even obstinate conditions like Psoriasis can also be effectively tackled with Homoeopathy.
