Individualized homoeopathic care in chronic eczema of the hands: A case study

Abstract

Chronic hand eczema significantly impacts quality of life, presenting with itching, fissures, dryness, and discomfort. Conventional treatments often provide temporary relief and carry risks with long-term use. This case report describes a 40-year-old male with chronic finger eczema, aggravated by cold exposure, associated with constipation and a chilly constitution. Individualized homoeopathic evaluation led to the prescription of Graphites 200C, resulting in progressive improvement of skin lesions, relief from itching, normalization of bowel habits, and overall well-being. No recurrence was observed during follow-up, and external applications were unnecessary. The case emphasizes the holistic approach of homoeopathy, addressing both local pathology and constitutional tendencies, and highlights the potential of homoeopathy in managing chronic, eczema.
