Based on the totality of symptoms, miasmatic analysis, and repertorization, Graphites in LM potency was administered. Progressive improvement was observed for a period of four months, with a marked reduction in itching, discharge, and lesion severity. The MONARCH assessment tool indicated a probable relationship between the intervention and clinical improvement.
