Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder marked by recurrent eczematous lesions, persistent pruritus, and a strong association with emotional and physical stressors. It affects up to 20% of children and 1-3% of adults globally, resulting in substantial morbidity and healthcare costs. Despite advances in research, diagnosis still relies primarily on the classical Hanifin and Rajka criteria, as no pathognomonic laboratory biomarkers have been identified. Intense itching is the hallmark symptom of AD, and repeated scratching often leads to skin excoriation and lichenification. The personal and family history regarding allergies such as allergic rhinitis, and/or asthma is related to AD. Here I present three cases of atopic dermatitis successfully treated with individualized homoeopathic medicine Sulphur in LM potency. The cases were selected from the OPD of the Government Homoeopathic Medical College Hospital, Thiruvananthapuram. The improvement of each patient was assessed using photographic evidence.
