Conventional treatments often offer temporary relief and may be associated with side effects. This case highlights the successful treatment of longstanding AD using a single individualized dose of a homoeopathic similimum. Case Summary: A 34-year-old male presented with a 10-year history of atopic dermatitis, marked by persistent redness, itching, dry scaly patches primarily affecting the face along with other complaints to O.P.D of NHMC, Delhi. He reported significant physical discomfort, sleep disturbances, and emotional distress. The condition was refractory to conventional therapies with no relief. A detailed case-taking was conducted following classical homoeopathic principles. Based on totality of symptoms and repertorisation, a single individualized remedy was prescribed. Within weeks of administration, the patient experienced significant improvement in itching, skin lesions, and overall well-being. Follow-up over a few months showed complete and sustained remission without recurrence or need for repetition of the remedy. Conclusion: This case demonstrates the potential effectiveness of individualized homoeopathic treatment in chronic atopic dermatitis. A single dose of the similimum led to complete and lasting remission, suggesting a promising role for homoeopathy in managing chronic inflammatory skin diseases. Further controlled studies are warranted. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: case study pictorial tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
