Abstract

Pityriasis refers to a group of skin disorders characterized by the presence of fine, scale-like plaques that often result in significant pigmentary changes. This case report explores the homeopathic management of a 15-year-old student presenting with hyperpigmented, mildly scaly plaques on the neck and upper back, alongside pustular acne. The objective was to demonstrate the efficacy of individualized homeopathic treatment for superficial dermatosis aggravated by adolescent stress. Utilizing a holistic material and methods approach, a detailed constitutional case-taking was performed, revealing a reserved, introverted personality, a craving for sweets, and a hot thermal temperament. Based on the totality of symptoms and a Psora-Sycosis miasmatic analysis, a single dose of Lycopodium clavatum 200C was administered. Results showed a significant transformation: the hyperpigmented plaques almost completely disappeared, itching was eliminated, and pustular acne resolved within weeks. Furthermore, the patient exhibited improved confidence and a calmer mental state. In conclusion, this case highlights that an individualized prescription based on mental and physical generals can successfully resolve complex skin pathologies and improve overall well-being without the need for topical intervention.
