What is psoriasis?

Psoriasis is a chronic skin problem that causes skin cells to grow too quickly, resulting in thick, white, silvery, or red patches of skin.
Normally, skin cells grow gradually and flake off about every 4 weeks. New skin cells grow to replace the outer layers of the skin as they shed. But in psoriasis, new skin cells move rapidly to the surface of the skin in days rather than weeks. They build up and form thick patches called plaques. The patches range in size from small to large. They most often appear on the knees, elbows, scalp, hands, feet, or lower back. Psoriasis is most common in adults. But children and teens can get it too. 

What causes psoriasis?

• Experts believe that psoriasis occurs when the immune system overreacts, causing inflammation and flaking of skin.
•  Psoriasis may runs in families.
•  Exciting factors that can cause flare-ups include a cold and dry climate, infections, stress, and dry skin.
• Certain medicines, such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAIDs) and medicines used to treat high blood pressure or certain
• mental illnesses, may trigger an outbreak or make your psoriasis worse.
• Smoking, especially in women, makes you more likely to get psoriasis and can make it worse if you already have it.
  
  

Psoriasis is not contagious. It cannot be spread by touch from person to person.

Treatment

Homeopathy is the most popular system of medicine for treatment of psoriasis. The selection of remedy is based upon the theory of individualization and symptoms similarity by using holistic approach.

This is the only way through which a state of complete health can be regained by removing all the sign and symptoms from which the patient is suffering. The aim of homeopathy is not only to treat psoriasis but to address its underlying cause and individual susceptibility. As far as therapeutic medication is concerned; several well-proved remedies are available for psoriasis treatment that can be selected on the basis of cause, location, sensation, modalities and extension of the psoriasis.

We, at Homoeo Clinic, are successfully treating patients with Psoriasis by prescribing constitutional Homoeopathic remedy on the basis of totality of symptoms which are capable of working on the joints and system. An overall feeling of well being is reported by most after commencing treatment and this is an important marker that the treatment is moving along the right path.

One of the main advantages of the treatment is that it is without any side effects and it is non habit – forming. Patients can conclude the treatment once they remain symptom free for an appropriate time period with continued medication. Homoeopathy is strongly suggested for all cases of arthritis. 

What can you do at home for psoriasis? 

• Skin care at home can help control psoriasis. Follow these tips to care for psoriasis:
• Use creams or lotions, baths, or soaks to keep your skin moist.
• Take short exposure to sunlight or ultraviolet (UV) light.
• Gently soften and remove psoriasis crusts by putting cream on the crusts and then peeling the loose crusts off. Removing crus may help your skin to absorb creams and lotions. Remove them carefully, though, so you don't irritate the skin.

It is also important to avoid those things that can cause psoriasis symptoms to flare up or make the condition worse. Things to avoid include:

• Skin injury- An injury to the skin can cause psoriasis patches to form anywhere on the body, including the site of the injury. This includes injuries to your nails or nearby skin while trimming your nails.
• Stress and anxiety - Stress can cause psoriasis to appear suddenly (flare) or can make symptoms worse.
• Infection - Infections such as strep throat can cause psoriasis to appear suddenly, especially in children.
• Overexposure to sunlight - Short periods of sun exposure reduce psoriasis in most people, but too much sun can damage the skin and cause skin cancer. And sunburns can trigger flares of psoriasis.
• Alcohol - Alcohol use can cause symptoms to flare up.
• Smoking - If you smoke, try to quit. Smoking, especially in women, makes you more likely to get psoriasis and can make it worse if you already have it.

Vitiligo is a pigmentation disorder in which melanocytes (the cells that make pigment) in the skin are destroyed.

As a result, white patches appear on the skin in different parts of the body. Similar patches also appear on both the mucous membranes (tissues that line the inside of the mouth and nose) and the retina (inner layer of the eyeball). The hair that grows on areas affected by vitiligo sometimes turns white.

CAUSES

1. May be associated with autoimmune diseases, including:

• Hyperthyroidism(an overactive thyroid gland),
• Adrenocortical insufficiency (the adrenal gland does not produce enough of the hormone called corticosteroid),
• Alopecia areata (patches of baldness),
• Pernicious anemia (a low level of red blood cells caused by the failure of the body to absorb vitamin B12).

2. Hereditary Symptoms:

• White patches on skin especially on sun-exposed areas of the body, including the hands, feet, arms, face, and lips. Other common areas for white patches to appear are the armpits and groin, and around the mouth, eyes, nostrils, navel, genitals, and rectum.
• Premature graying of the scalp hair, eyelashes, eyebrows, and beard.
• People with dark skin may notice a loss of color inside their mouth.
  
  

TREATMENT

We, at Homoeo Clinic, have been treating patients with mild presentation of vitiligo to widespread affection and achieving positive results. Patients suffering from vitiligo are prescribed homoeopathic medicines  after proper case taking on the basis of totality of symptoms.

• Although there is no single cause, but many factors may contribute.
• HORMONES-
• (a) Hormonal activity, such as menstrual cycles and puberty, may contribute to the formation of acne.
• (b) Pregnancy, or disorders such as polycystic ovary syndrome, hirsutism, or Cushing's syndrome may cause acne.
• GENETIC
• PSYCHOLOGICAL- Stress
• DIET- Milk and pure chocolate are said to aggravate the problem.
  
  

• occluded pores ("comedones"), also known as blackheads orwhiteheads,
• tender red bumps also known as pimples or zits,
• pustules,
• cysts (deep pimples, boils).
  
  

FOLLOWING DIETARY ADVICE SHOULD BE FOLLOWED ALONGWITH MEDICINE

• Sulphur-rich foods such as onions and garlic are helpful in reducing outbreaks
• Increase zinc-rich foods such as soybeans, whole grains, sunflower seeds and raw nuts
• Drink plenty of water
• Avoid sugar, cigarettes, fried and high-fat foods
• Keep dairy items and red meat to a minimum
  
  

SKIN CARE IS ALSO NECESARRY. FOLLOW THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS.

• Avoid scrubbing hard / over-washing acne-afflicted areas
• Avoid touching your face often
• Do not squeeze pimples since this can push the infection further into the skin
• Protect your skin from the sun
• Keep your hair clean and keep it away from the face
• Avoid using greasy or cream based make-up
• Always remove make-up before going to sleep
• Exercise regularly
• After a heavy workout or exercise, take a bath because the sweat on skin can trap bacteria
• Always use clean clothes which allow your skin to breathe.

WHAT IS URTICARIA?

These are wheal like eruptions characterized by red, itchy, raised areas of skin that appear in varying shapes and sizes, each one characteristically lasts no longer than six to 12 hours.

CAUSES

• Unknown
• Allergic reaction to food, medication or insect sting.
• After physical exercise or exertion

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS

• Red, very itchy, smoothly elevated areas of skin often with a blanched center.
• It can change size rapidly and disappear from one place and reappear at other places, often in a matter of hours.

It is useful to bring the photograph of the eruptions along because by the time you reach our clinic, the rash may disappear.

TREATMENT

We, a team of doctors at Homoeo Clinic, have been treating the patients with acute or chronic urticaria and achieving very good results.

The treatment for Urticaria may vary from cases to case - some requiring short-term whereas others requiring long term treatment. The duration of treatment depends on various factors such as the severity, duration and extent of the illness, nature of treatment taken for the same and general health of the patient.

Allergy is a response of the defense system to certain substances termed allergens, which usually are harmless. Allergy erupts when your body reacts to something it is abnormally sensitive to. When you come in contact with any allergen your body will defend itself by releasing substances known as antibodies. The ensuing reaction between antibodies and allergens trigger the release of 'Histamine' and other chemicals, which cause the symptoms of allergy.

CAUSES

• Environment: Grass pollen, animal hair, feathers, dust mites, chemicals and industrial pollutants and certain plants.
• Almost any food can bring on an allergic response. The commonest being milk, cheese, eggs, nuts, fish and shell-fish, wheat and flour, chocolates and artificial colourants.
• Other factors: You can be allergic to soaps, perfumes, detergents, insect bites, antibiotics, cosmetics and jewellery.
  
  

SYMPTOMS

• Sneezing
• Running nose,
• Cough,
• Breathlessness
  
  

DO’S AND DON’T’S

There are three steps to be taken when dealing with an allergy.

1. Firstly, identify the cause or allergen
2. Secondly, avoid it.
3. Thirdly, if avoidance is impossible, treat the symptoms. Keep a diary and try to trace a pattern or relation between your allergic reaction and the allergen. Eg. Sneezing while doing housework could mean you are allergic to house dust.
   
   

Do breastfeed your baby for the first 6 months to strengthen the immune system and avoid contact with allergens such as in cow's milk.

Take steps to deal with stress, anxiety and tension as these can influence the frequency and severity of symptoms Good nutrition, balanced diet, adequate rest and relaxation will be beneficial. Taking extra care like wearing gloves while using detergents and cleaners Clean your house, or vacuum frequently to get rid of dust mites, animal hair, etc.
Remember that most allergens are in themselves harmless. It is your body's abnormal response and not the allergen that does the damage. So coming in contact with the offending substance will not hurt, as long as you can control your reaction to it.

TREATMENT

Allergic Rhinitis, a disease often known to be incurable and chronic can be cured if treated with Homeopathic medicines. We, at Homoeo Clinic, have been treating patients suffering from Allergic Rhinitis with very good results.

Molluscum Contagiosum is a viral skin infection characterized by round, firm, painless bumps on the skin. These bumps can vary in size from as small as a pinhead to the size of a pencil eraser. If the bumps are scratched or injured, the infection can spread to nearby skin areas. Molluscum contagiosum is transmitted through person-to-person contact or contact with infected objects. While it is most common in children aged 1 to 10 years, it can also affect adults, especially those with weakened immune systems. When the infection involves the genitals, it is considered a sexually transmitted infection. The causative agent is the molluscum contagiosum virus, a type of poxvirus. The infection remains contagious until the eruptions resolve.

Symptoms:

• The characteristic eruptions in molluscum contagiosum are small, raised, round, and painless papules. They often have a central indentation (umbilication) or dot at the top.
• The papules can range in diameter from 1mm to 5mm.
• Common sites for these eruptions include the face, armpits, neck, arms, and hands. In adults, the genital area, lower abdomen, and inner thighs may also be affected if the infection is sexually transmitted.
• Scratching the papules can lead to the spread of the virus to nearby skin, so it’s important to avoid scratching.

Homeopathic Treatment:

• Homeopathic medicines are effective in treating viral skin infections, including molluscum contagiosum.
• Homeopathy offers a safe and gentle approach to managing this condition.
• Some commonly indicated homeopathic remedies for molluscum contagiosum include Arsenic Alb, Calcarea Carb, Merc Sol, Natrum Mur, Silicea, Sulphur, Kali Iodatum, and Thuja Occidentalis.
• The choice of the most appropriate homeopathic medicine depends on a detailed assessment of the individual’s symptoms.

If you or anyone you know is experiencing symptoms related to molluscum contagiosum, consider seeking professional advice. Dr. Dinesh Sharma at Homoeo Clinic has had positive results in treating patients with this condition. Feel free to reach out for assistance; they’re always there to help.

"Eczema, also referred to as ‘atopic dermatitis,’ is an inflammatory skin condition that isn’t contagious. It manifests with intense itching, redness, oozing, and scaly rashes. These symptoms can be quite uncomfortable and may lead to changes in skin color and the formation of blisters. Allergies play a role in some individuals’ experience of eczema.

The condition tends to be episodic, with flare-ups occurring periodically. Eczema results in extremely dry and sensitive skin, which can be exacerbated by exposure to various triggers. Common culprits include allergens like pet dander or dust mites, as well as cosmetics, fragranced soaps, detergents, and lotions. Even perfumes and cleaning products can irritate eczema. Additionally, factors such as weather changes (especially during dry winter months), illnesses like the common cold, and stress may worsen eczema symptoms."

Types:

1. Atopic dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis is the most common form of eczema.

It usually starts in childhood between ages 2 months and 5 years and typically gets milder or goes away by adulthood. However, it’s possible to have a flareup of symptoms or to experience symptoms for the first time later in life.

Symptoms

In atopic dermatitis, symptoms typically appear on your arms or in the creases of your elbows or knees. Children may develop symptoms on their scalp and cheeks.

It’s important not to scratch any bumps, rashes, or lesions, as this may lead to infection.

Causes

The exact cause of atopic dermatitis is unknown.

However, the condition happens when your skin’s natural barrier is weakened. This means your skin is less able to protect you from irritants and allergens.

Atopic dermatitis is likely caused by a combination of factors, such as:

• genes
• dry skin
• an immune system issue
• triggers, such as irritants, stress, and dry skin

2. Contact dermatitis

Contact dermatitis results from a reaction to substances you touch. There are two types:

• Allergic contact dermatitis: This is an immune system reaction to an irritant, like latex or metal.
• Irritant contact dermatitis: This starts when a chemical or other substance directly damages your skin.

Symptoms

Symptoms of contact dermatitis may take up to 48 hours to appear after coming into contact with a trigger.

In contact dermatitis, you may experience:

• itchy skin that turns red, pink, or magenta. In darker skin tones, this can appear as brown, purple, or gray.
• skin that burns or stings
• hives
• fluid-filled blisters
• thick, leathery skin

Causes

Contact dermatitis happens when you touch a substance that irritates your skin or causes an allergic reaction. The most common irritants include:

• detergents
• bleach
• jewelry
• latex
• nickel
• paint
• poison ivy and other poisonous plants
• skin care products, including makeup
• soaps and perfumes
• solvents
• tobacco smoke

3. Dyshidrotic eczema

Dyshidrotic eczema, also known as pompholyx, causes small blisters to form on your hands and feet.

Symptoms

Symptoms of dyshidrotic eczema may last between 2–3 weeks at a time. You may experience fluid-filled blisters that could itch, hurt, crack, and flake. These may appear on your:

• fingers
• toes
• palms
• soles of the feet

Causes

Dyshidrotic eczema can be caused by:

• allergies
• damp hands and feet
• exposure to substances such as nickel, cobalt, or chromium salt
• stress
• smoking tobacco products

4. Seborrheic dermatitis

Seborrheic dermatitis is sometimes referred to as scalp eczema because it typically affects your scalp.

Seborrheic dermatitis in infants is commonly called cradle cap, and it does not reappear later. In teens and adults, however, seborrheic dermatitis will most likely be an ongoing skin issue.

Symptoms

Seborrheic dermatitis may cause scaly, oily patches of skin that produce dandruff-like flakes. These patches often appear where there are more sebaceous glands on the body, such as the:

• scalp
• hairline
• upper back
• nose
• groin

In people with darker skin tones, these patches may be darker than their skin, but in people with lighter skin tones, the patches may be lighter.

Causes

Seborrheic dermatitis may be due to a combination of environmental and genetic factors.

First, a trigger like stress or illness sets off an inflammatory reaction in the skin. This sends the oil-producing glands in the body into overdrive, which allows too much Malassezia yeast to grow. This is an organism that lives on the skin’s surface.

When yeast grows too rapidly, the immune system reacts and causes a series of skin changes. This leads to the development of the patches of skin common with seborrheic dermatitis.

Aside from stress and illness, other triggers of seborrheic dermatitis may include:

• hormonal changes
• illness
• harsh detergents or chemicals
• cold, dry weather
• certain medical conditions, like Parkinson’s disease, psoriasis, HIV, and acne

5. Neurodermatitis

Neurodermatitis, also referred to as lichen simplex chronicus, is a type of eczema that usually causes 1–2 eczema patches to develop. It involves intense itching that worsens the more you scratch.

Symptoms

Neurodermatitis causes thick, scaly, and sometimes very itchy patches to form on your:

• arms
• legs
• back of your neck
• scalp
• bottoms of your feet
• backs of your hands
• genitals

It’s important not to scratch the skin patches. This may worsen your symptoms and lead to bleeding and infection.

Causes

The underlying cause of neurodermatitis isn’t yet known. However, the condition usually starts with an itch, and the rash develops the more you scratch it.

6. Nummular eczema

Nummular eczema, also known as discoid eczema, causes round, coin-shaped spots to form on your skin. It looks different than other types of eczema and could be very itchy.

Symptoms

Symptoms of nummular eczema may last up to several years without treatment.

The first sign of nummular eczema is usually a group of small bumps on the skin. These may appear red or pink on lighter skin tones and dark brown on darker skin tones.

These small bumps then usually grow coin-shaped skin lesions that may be itchy, flaky, or cracked.

Causes

The exact cause of nummular eczema is not known. However, it may result from having very dry skin.

You’re also more likely to develop nummular eczema if you have another type of eczema, such as atopic dermatitis.

7. Stasis dermatitis

Stasis dermatitis is more common in people who have poor circulation. It happens when fluid leaks out of weakened veins into your skin.

This fluid may cause:

• swelling
• redness in lighter skin tones
• brown, purple, gray, or ashen color in darker skin tones
• itching
• pain

Symptoms

Symptoms of stasis dermatitis are most likely to affect your legs and ankles. For example, the lower part of your legs may swell, especially during the day when you’ve been walking. Your legs may also ache or feel heavy.

Other symptoms of stasis dermatitis may include:

• varicose veins
• dry, itchy skin
• open sores

Causes

Stasis dermatitis happens in people who have blood flow problems in their lower legs. If the valves that normally push blood up through your legs toward your heart malfunction, blood can pool in your legs.
