Eczema Clinic
Eczema is a superficial inflammation of the skin characterized by redness, itching, oedema, oozing, crusting, scaling, vesicles and occasional lichenification.Eczema is synonymously used with dermatitis, but it is often used to refer to atopic dermatitis, which is the most common type of dermatitis.
Eczema is diagnosed clinically on the basis of the patient’s presenting symptoms. The management of eczema primarily comprises avoiding contact with irritants and regular use of emollients. In conventional medicine, topical steroids are used, but relapses are very common. According to homoeopathic principles, suppressed eruptions always lead to deeper diseases; therefore, such eruptions should be treated with homoeopathic individualized medicine. There are many medicines in the homoeopathy for the treatment of eczema; the prescription of a remedy is based primarily on the presenting complaints of the patient.
Here, we present a case of eczema that was treated with the homoeopathic medicines.
