A 4 year old girl, diagnosed with nail psoriasis at around 1 year of age, was under conventional lines of treatment under a dermatologist. She was prescribed varied antifungal compositions in this course of treatment for the past 3 years, but none of them were effective in relieving her complaints.

Another complaint she had, was of polyp like growth in her nostrils with occasional episodes of bleeding from the nose.

She had an inordinate liking for cold drinks and ice-creams

This little girl was quite intelligent for her age and was always on the go, engaged in something or the other in hand. She had an immense fear of darkness and would never sleep alone. Sometimes when angry she would be difficult to handle.

The Homeopath on integrating the details of the girl, prescribed her Phosphorous 200. After 3 months of regular treatment, her nails started becoming softer and the normal translucency of nails was getting back. At the end of 6 months, her nails were normal in appearance and the bleeding from nose stopped too.

Thus in this case supremacy of Homeopathic mode of treatment over futile antifungal treatment surely redefines the utility of Homeopathy in skin ailments.
