Warts are common skin growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), with over 90 subtypes leading to varied clinical presentations. In homoeopathy, warts are classified as one-sided diseases or external local maladies, often resulting from miasmatic suppression or disease stasis. Homoeopathy offers a non-invasive and individualized therapeutic approach, emphasizing totality of symptoms and repertorial analysis. This case study reports the treatment of a 4-year-old child presenting with multiple hard, itchy, and bleeding warts on the fingers. A detailed case-taking followed by repertorial analysis using Douglass’s Skin Repertory indicated Nitric Acid 0/3 as the simillimum. Complete resolution of warts was observed within 7 days of treatment initiation. This case highlights the effectiveness of individualized homoeopathic prescribing in treating warts without invasive methods. The rapid and complete recovery demonstrates the curative potential of LM potencies, especially in pediatric cases where gentle treatment is essential. Homoeopathy, when applied with precision and based on detailed symptomatology, provides a safe and effective alternative for managing cutaneous conditions such as warts, reinforcing its value in clinical practice.
