Milia and molluscum contagiosum are common dermatological manifestations in children, often causing cosmetic concerns and parental anxiety. Conventional treatments involve surgical removal, cauterization, or topical applications, which may be painful, invasive, and prone to recurrence. Homeopathy, based on individualized prescriptions, provides a non-invasive and child-friendly therapeutic option.
This observational study was conducted at Advanced Homoeo Health Center& Homeopathic Medical Research Pvt. Ltd., Indore on 64 children (ages 4-16 years) suffering from milia and molluscum contagiosum. Out of these, 51 patients completed regular homeopathic treatment and showed complete resolution without any local applications. Thirteen patients who were irregular in follow-up were excluded from final analysis. The results highlight that homeopathic medicines are safe, effective, and well-accepted by children for viral skin manifestations.
