Homoeopathic Treatment of Leucoderma, A Case Report

Abstract

Leucoderma (vitiligo) is a chronic depigmentary disorder with major psychosocial impact. This case report discusses the treatment of an 24year old female patient with white depigmented patches below both the eyes since 1year.The patches were asymptomatic with no itching, pain or scaling, but posed significant cosmetic concern, leading to social embracement and anxiety about future prospects. A detailed case history was taken followed by repertorization of patient symptoms using complete repertory with RADAR software. sepia 200c was selected as the simillimum, councelling and lifestyle advice were provided along with placebo support. The case illistruates a classical individualized homoeopathic approach in managing localized leucoderma, emphasizing not only the cutaneous manifestation but also the patient psychosocial impact and constitutional features.
