Homeopathic Management of Scalp Psoriasis

Introduction

A 21-year-old shop owner, MM, presented with a plaque-like lesion on his scalp, persisting for 1 year. He also reported several other symptoms, including loss of appetite, increased thirst with dryness of mouth, cracked lips, and bleeding per rectum during defecation, associated with fissures in the anal region.

On examination, the lesion was characterized by thickened, scaly plaques and loss of hairs consistent with a diagnosis of scalp psoriasis. The patient's symptoms exacerbated his discomfort and interfered with his daily activities ([Fig. 1]).
