Psoriasis 11632...India
A 55-year-old man had been suffering from a skin condition for 15 years since 2007, initially presenting as itching and whitish scaling on his scalp. A doctor diagnosed it as psoriasis and gave him anti‑dandruff treatment; this did not help. His condition became worse and spread across the entire scalp and then to both knees. After two months, he discontinued allopathy and managed without treatment.
In Oct 2010, he took ayurvedic treatment for six months, which provided 2/3rds relief. Then, the symptoms relapsed after six months, spreading further to the abdomen and back, and scratching caused wounds. A second course of ayurvedic treatment, lasting one year, resulted in complete recovery, but once again the symptoms recurred after six months.
In June 2013, he underwent homoeopathic treatment for six months with no improvement. Thereafter he managed with OTC (over the counter) ointment which provided 25% relief from itching. In Jan 2021 he tried homoeopathic treatment from a different doctor. However, by Oct 2021, the condition had spread throughout his body accompanied by mild itching prompting him to discontinue the treatment.
On 14 Oct 2022 he consulted the practitioner, who gave:
#1. CC10.1 Emergencies + CC12.4 Autoimmune diseases + CC21.2 Skin infections + CC21.3 Skin allergies + CC21.10 Psoriasis + CC21.11 Wounds & Abrasions...OD for 3 days, BD for 3 days, then TDS
(OTC ointment was continued)
Treatment progress:
- 19 Oct 2022: Scaling decreased by 10%.
- 15 Nov 2022: Itching subsided completely.
- 12 Dec 2`022: 50% improvement in scaling and skin colour.
- 25 Dec 2022: Accidental intake of food containing mustard powder three days prior increased thickening of scales; mentioned that he is allergic to mustard, brinjal, sorrel leaves and fish; new remedy could not be given as patient out of station.
- 4 Jan 2023: Gave enhanced remedy #2. CC4.10 Indigestion + #1…TDS.
- 9 Jan 2023: 50% improvement in scaling and skin colour; no allergic reaction even after consuming fish.
- 30 May 2023: 80% improvement in scaling, skin colour and wounds; OTC ointment no longer needed.
Patient remained in regular contact.
- 21 Nov 2023: No further progress; consulted dermatologist, took prescribed oral steroids and applied ointments; within two days, developed nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea; discontinued oral medication but not the ointment; digestive symptoms resolved in two days.
- 5 Dec 2023: Remedy revised to #3. CC17.2 Cleansing + CC21.2 Skin infections + CC21.3 Skin allergies + CC21.10 Psoriasis + CC21.11 Wounds & Abrasions...BD in coconut oil for external application and #4. CC4.10 Indigestion + CC12.4 Autoimmune diseases + CC15.1 Mental & Emotional tonic + #3...TDS orally.
- 9 Jan 2024: Complete resolution of symptoms; ointment discontinued.
As of Apr 2026, there has been no recurrence. Patient is continuing #3 & #4 without reducing dosage for comfort.
Editor’s comment: Experience shows that external application is just as important as oral ingestion and should therefore be initiated at the very start of treatment. In this case, the delay in starting it likely contributed to the slow progress; in fact, after 30 May 2023 there was no improvement for six months. Only when it was finally introduced, did the symptoms resolve within four weeks.
