Palmoplantar psoriasis is a chronic, immune-mediated skin condition predominantly affecting the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. Characterized by erythematous, scaly plaques, fissuring, and often debilitating pain, it significantly impacts patients' quality of life and daily functioning. Unlike classic plaque psoriasis, this localized variant poses unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to its resistance to conventional treatments and frequent overlap with other dermatoses such as eczema and fungal infections.
Case Summary: A female aged 40 years old presented with dry scaly patches in both palms and soles of foot for 6 months. She had itching in palms and soles which led her to scratch, often caused bloody discharge and burning after scratching. Based on presenting symptoms, treatment was started prospectively following homoeopathic principles & follow-ups done in suitable intervals of about 1 month.
Results: Marked improvement was seen in 3 months.
