Skin diseases must be treated from inside, not from outside

Skin is the largest body organ and the diseases of the skin are actually a reflection of what goes wrong within the body at the level of the immune system, hormones, metabolism, and genetics. This basic wisdom is missed out by the conventional medicine. As a result, the treatment modalities for the most of skin diseases are centered around the use of external, immunosuppressive medicines such as cortisone, Tacrolimus, and the like.

Since the auto-immune skin diseases such as Eczema, Atopic dermatitis, Psoriasis, Alopecia Areata, Lichen Planus, Vitiligo, Scleroderma, Urticaria, etc. arise due to immunological conflicts; they essentially need to be treated by correcting the inner, internal, immunological dysfunctions. Such internal rectifications cannot be achieved by external use of immune-suppressive measures.

When we use any immunosuppressive medicines topically on the skin, the experience suggests following complications:

a. The disease returns of stopping the use of external lotions, either at the same place or other locations
b. The disease returns with more severity
c. The disease goes deeper, affecting deeper organs. For example, Psoriasis may lead to Psoriatic Arthritis and Eczema may lead to Asthma.
d. The resurfaced disease is more resistant to other medicines.
e. The adverse effects of immunosuppressive medicines.

Those who have used immunosuppressive creams for a long time would share the experience. After treating many thousands of cases of skin diseases, we at Life Force have understood above challenges very well.

In some cases, integration of homeopathy with the conventional medicine may be called for. For example, cases of severe Atopic Dermatitis, one may need to use antihistamines to get relief from intense itching.

At any given point, homeopathy must be strongly thought for skin diseases at all stages.
