Abstract

Additionally referred to as atopic eczema, atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory dermatosis that is marked by pruritus and chronicity because of an antigen-antibody reaction that manifests in skin conditions linked to intra- and intercellular cellular deterioration and oedema. Globally, the prevalence of AD is 20% (5%–30% in children and 1%–10% in adults); in Asia-Pacific, the Eastern Mediterranean region, and India, it is 3%–6%. The major complaint of a 17-year-old Hindu girl had dry skin over her body and a little brownblack scab on her right cheek with itching. The case study of a female treated for atopic dermatitis over a two-month period with a homoeopathic similimum chosen based on individualization shows that homoeopathy can be beneficial in the treatment of various skin conditions.
