      ab: Nummular eczema is a chronic, relapsing dermatological condition characterized by coin-shaped pruritic lesions. Psychological stress is recognized as a potential trigger influencing disease onset and exacerbation. This case report explores the integration of Freud's psychoanalytic theory--Id, Ego, and Superego--into homoeopathic case-taking and management. A 23-year-old female presented with recurrent nummular eczema associated with stress during academic examinations. Individualized homoeopathic treatment resulted in significant clinical improvement, as measured by the Patient-Oriented Eczema Measure (POEM). This report highlights the relevance of psychodynamic understanding in holistic dermatological care.
