A case of Tinea corporis managed with individualised homoeopathic treatment

Abstract

Tinea Corporis is a superficial dermatophyte infection presenting with erythematous annular lesions and intense pruritus. Increasing resistance to antifungal therapy has resulted in many chronic or recurrent cases. This case report describes an 18-year-old male with tinea Corporis unresponsive to conventional antifungal treatment who improved significantly with individualised homoeopathic medicine. The clinical presentation, diagnostic criteria, intervention, and outcome are discussed. This case highlights the possible role of homoeopathy as an adjunct modality when conventional therapy provides inadequate relief.
