A Mild Case Of Vitiligo Quickly Healed With Homeopathic Treatment

The patient Mr. A. (PIN: 26646) first noticed a small spot under his lip in 2008, and it was completely treated within 3 months with some Ayurveda medicines. In the initial half of November 2019, a small white spot on the jawline began to appear that was gradually expanding in size and shape monthly. He only had a spot on his cheek. He acknowledged that stress and inadequate sunlight exposure may have contributed to its onset. He had not taken any Vitiligo treatment. He approached Life Force and began treatment from Dr. Shah in April 2020.

Physical Generals:

The patient’s appetite was average, and he enjoyed eating particularly sweets. He tolerated the hot weather better than any other weather. The sudden stiffness in his neck and shoulders while he was sleeping disturbed his sleep.

Psychological and Family Make-Up:

He was a software executive and had started with the business. It has been challenging and stressful over the past year because of his new business setup. Due to erroneous investments and a friend's deception, which affected his business investments and resulted in a financial crisis, he was experiencing stress.

He was staying with his mother, his spouse, and two daughters, one of whom was 19 and the other 16 years old. He moved to the United States from Hyderabad, India, in 1998. In 1987, his father passed away without any known illness.

Family Medical History:

His mother had rheumatoid arthritis and high blood pressure.

Dr. Shah studied the case in detail and prescribed Lycopodium Clavatum 30, 4 pills three times a day for four months based on his information.

Follow-Ups:

His recovery from the spot on the face improved by 50% at his first follow-up on 13th August 2020. Dr. Shah increased the dose's strength for improved results.

His spot healed by 90% in his subsequent follow-up on 18th December 2022, and there were no new spots.

After four months, he stopped taking the medication because he had completely recovered from his Vitiligo.

Conclusion:

This case highlights that Homeopathic medicines work well in treating a mild early case of Vitiligo that has not been treated with steroids or external ointments. Homeopathy promotes complete recovery from mild, early-detected vitiligo.
