Clinical Improvement of Vitiligo following Individualized Homoeopathic Management: A Case Report

Abstract

Vitiligo is an autoimmune dermatological disorder characterized by the depletion of melanin pigment. It is a common illness that poses treatment challenges and is linked to psychological suffering. Conventional treatments possess many side effects and do not show long-term results. Individualized homeopathic treatment is an effective alternative for managing vitiligo and helps cure the disease systemically. This case report investigates the efficacy of homeopathy in a 15-year-old male patient with a hypopigmented patch on the left side of his cheeks. The diagnosis of vitiligo was determined using clinical characteristics. Individualized homeopathic treatment with Natrum muriaticum in centesimal potency yielded a favorable outcome. After a three-month follow-up, the objective improvement was verified through the Vitiligo Area Scoring Index (VASI) and clinical photography. The modified 
Naranjo criteria for homeopathy (MONARCH) framework was employed to establish a causal relationship between the improvement and the provided intervention. This case demonstrates the potential of homeopathy as a supportive therapy for the management of vitiligo.
