Abstract

Lichen Planus Pigmentosus is a chronic pigmentary dermatosis characterized by slate-gray or brownish macules, often linked to autoimmune and psychosomatic factors like emotional suppression. This case report aims to evaluate the efficacy of individualized homoeopathic therapy in managing LPP by addressing underlying emotional triggers alongside physical symptoms. A 38-year-old male presenting with extensive hyperpigmented patches on his upper trunk for over a year was studied. The patient’s history revealed significant internal worry and emotional repression related to his son’s health. Methodology involved a holistic assessment and repertorization using Phatak’s Repertory, leading to the selection of Phosphorus as the constitutional remedy, supported by Kali Arsenicum and biochemical tissue salts. Over a 12-month follow-up, results showed over 80% lightening of pigmentation, improved sleep, and restored mental vitality. No new lesions appeared, and the patient achieved emotional stability. The study concludes that addressing the psychosomatic root through individualized homoeopathy provides a safe and effective modality for long-term relief in chronic skin disorders where conventional treatments may only offer symptomatic results.
