An 18-year-old male from Mumbai, Mr. D. M. (PIN: 33420) started treatment from Life Force Homeopathy for his complaint of Urticaria on 4^th September 2021.

The patient was suffering from this skin complaint for a year. Initially, it was affecting him occasionally, but, in the past few months, the rashes started appearing 3 to 4 times a week. He was experiencing intense itching and hives all over his body. The burning sensation affecting his body was bothering him. The rashes used to stay for 30 to 40 minutes and would get settled on their own. The patient had a history of fungal infection in the past which was cured with Life Force medicines. So, he consulted again to get rid of urticaria.
