Palmo plantar psoriasis responded very well to the homeopathic treatment at Life Force.
A 45 yrs female Mrs. A.K, a housewife, (Patient Identification Number 17434) visited Life Force Center on 7th November 2011 for the treatment of palmoplantar psoriasis.
She had psoriasis for 6 years which started on soles and slowly developed over the palms. Initially, for 2 years it would aggravate in winters only but gradually the frequency and severity of complaints increased and it was constantly there all over the year. There was much dryness and cracks with tremendous itching and redness. The peeling of skin and scaling was also present. Interestingly itching would increase at night.
She has taken a lot of steroidal medicines in the past with little improvement so finally, she stopped oral steroids for 6 months but she continued to apply steroids locally. Ironically with so much medication, the disease got suppressed and new lesions started to appear on back and knees. This is when she got scared and started looking for alternative treatment.
Her case was noted in detail. Emotionally she had undergone a lot of stress as she was living in a joint family and could not adjust to the environment. Over a period of time with suppressed emotions, she became reserved.
She had a strong family history of diabetes. Dr Shah advised her to check her blood sugar level and prescribed her our researched-based medicines along with her constitutional medicine. She was advised to reduce the frequency of steroidal ointment and slowly stop it.
At 2 months follow up (Jan 12) She could notice the changes in her skin in terms of redness and cracks. She was happy to report that her itching was reduced by 50% which was a constant feature at night. She could sleep better as the itching was reduced.
At 4 months follow up (Mar 12) The lesions over the palms, back and knees were 60% better and soles were better by 30%. She was happy to see the comparative photos as this was the first time in the last 2 years that the lesions were better. By this time she had stopped using steroidal local application and started to use non medicated moisturizer as suggested by us.
At 6 months follow up (May 12) Psoriasis over the palms, back and knees were 100% better and lesions over the soles were 70% better.
She was advised to continue the treatment for 100% improvement and to avoid relapses.
