Abstract:

Seborrheic Keratosis (SK) is a common benign skin condition that manifests as skin growths or lesions. These growths are often round or oval, light brown to black in color, and have a noticeable, somewhat "stuck-on" appearance. Seborrheic keratoses are usually benign and non-cancerous, however they can occasionally create irritation or cosmetic issues, especially if they become itchy or inflamed. For the past ten months, a 70-year-old man has had an elevated hyperpigmented eruption on his head in the frontal region. The lesion's characteristics include a spherical, raised, hyperpigmented lesion with a crack in the center. Because it was most similar to the instance with the highest score (6/8), Bacillinum 200 was prescribed based on repertorial totality. Bacillinum was chosen because the patient exhibited a high thermal reaction, a family history of tuberculosis, and sleep disturbances. This instance suggests that homeopathy could be a safe and useful alternative for treating seborrheic keratosis, particularly for patients seeking non-surgical remedies. More study and clinical studies are suggested in order to validate these findings and establish homeopathy as a standard treatment for associated dermatological conditions.
