Photosensitivity, treated with lm potency: A case report

Abstract

Photosensitivity is an abnormal cutaneous reaction to solar ultraviolet radiation. This reaction may clinically manifest as greater propensity toward sunburn or development of a rash upon exposure to sun light [1]. In these cases homoeopathic medicines are always benificial when given after individualization of the patient in order to achieve cure. A 44 year old male patient attended out patient department (OPD), chiefly for the complaints of red macular eruptions on forehead, nape of neck and on bilateral hands. He was under treatment with modern medicine for past sometime but getting no relief so patient turned to homoeopathic treatment. After detailed case taking and repertorization, Sulphur 0/1 was prescribed. Within 3 months of homoeopathic treatment, patient showed improvement, eruptions get subsided and no new eruptions are observed in subsequent visits.
