Abstract:
Eczema, a chronic dermatological condition characterized by intense itching and dry, scaly skin, poses significant challenges. The study highlights the case of eczema subjected to individualized case study and repertorial analysis, and remedy selection, culminating in the prescription of Sulphur based on the totality of symptoms and has pictorial evidence for showing improvement. The methodology of homeopathy focuses on individualized treatment, stressing the importance of matching the remedy's profile with the patient's specific symptoms. Sulphur was justified due to its correspondence with the patient’s intense itching, aggravation from heat, skin dryness with discoloration, and general constitutional traits such as a desire for sweets and aversion to covering. Follow-ups and photographic documentation provided evidence of the remedy’s effectiveness, showcasing the potential of homeopathy as a viable alternative for eczema management.
