Homoeopathic Management of Childhood Vitiligo - A Case report

Author(s) Dr. Krishnapriya R, Venugopal.K.G
Country India
Abstract Vitiligo is an acquired, often familial depigmentary disorder of skin and hair. Childhood vitiligo refers to the onset of vitiligo before the age of 18. A male child of 9yrs old presented as discrete whitish patches on the right side of the face and later spread to include a spot on the chest. The condition also affected the hair, causing whitening of the scalp hair, right lateral eyebrows, and right lower eyelashes. The onset of symptoms started when the child was only 6 months old . The family history of leukoderma (another term for vitiligo) on both the paternal and maternal sides suggests a genetic predisposition. The child has specific personality traits, such as being sociable, having a preference for sweets and cold drinks, being sensitive to cold , and having fears of being alone and thunderstorms. These characteristics were used for the individualization of the homeopathic remedy, Phosphorus, which was prescribed.An intercurrent remedy Syphilinum 1M was given every 3 months of treatment.Over six months of treatment with Phosphorus in 50 millesimal potency, there were observable improvements in the condition, as documented by photos taken during the visits. .This case highlights the importance of individualized treatment in homeopathy, taking into account both the physical symptoms and the child's personality traits.
