Vitiligo and psoriasis are common dermatological conditions, but their co-occurrence in a single patient is rare. This is a report of a conjoint case in a 25-year-old female who developed depigmented patches on her right hand six years ago following a hot oil burn. The depigmented areas gradually spread across her body. Years later, she experienced itching and silvery scaly lesions on areas of skin not affected by vitiligo. Clinically, the case was diagnosed as coexisting vitiligo and psoriasis. The pathogenesis of such conjoint cases remains unclear, as the mechanisms behind their coexistence are not fully understood. The condition was effectively managed with homoeopathy, showing simultaneous improvement in both diseases. Initially, Arnica montana was prescribed, followed by Arsenicum album. This case highlights the importance of individualisation in homoeopathic treatment, focusing on the patient's unique symptoms rather than disease labels. Understanding such associations may enhance therapeutic approaches in homoeopathy for managing coexisting skin disorders.
