Abstract Abstract
Introduction
Palmoplantar psoriasis is a chronic and localized form of psoriasis that primarily involves the palms and soles, presenting with thickened, scaly, or pustular lesions. It accounts for about 3–4% of all psoriasis cases, while psoriasis itself affects roughly 2–5% of the global population. Although the precise cause remains uncertain, Palmoplantar psoriasis is widely recognized as an immune-mediated inflammatory disorder influenced by a combination of genetic susceptibility, environmental triggers, and autoimmune mechanisms. Despite being non–life-threatening, Palmoplantar psoriasis poses significant therapeutic challenges, as its underlying causative factors are not well established. Current conventional treatments often provide only temporary relief, leading many patients to discontinue therapy due to limited long-term effectiveness.
Case summary
A 45-year-old male farmer with palmoplantar psoriasis for one year was treated with individualized homoeopathic medicine. Based on the totality of symptoms, Lycopodium clavatum 200C was prescribed as the similimum and administered weekly once for 3 weeks. PASI scoring was used to assess improvement, showing a significant reduction from 13.2 before treatment to 0.8 after treatment over 4 months. Clinical improvement was further supported by photographic evidence and PASI score comparison, demonstrating the effectiveness of individualized homoeopathic treatment in this case of palmoplantar psoriasis.
