Child Plaque Psoriasis Treatment
Patient Information:
Patient’s Name: Sanika (name changed for privacy)
Age: 8 years old
Gender: Female
First Consultation: 2020
Current Consultation: 2023
Condition: Plaque Psoriasis
Background:
Sanika, an 8-year-old girl, was initially consulted in 2020 for plaque psoriasis, a chronic autoimmune skin condition characterized by raised, red, and scaly patches on the skin. At that time, she received treatment for three months, which resulted in significant improvement, prompting her parents to discontinue the treatment.
Current Presentation:
In 2023, Sanika returned for consultation with a severe case of plaque psoriasis that had spread across her trunk and extremities. She exhibited certain behavioral and physical characteristics:
Behavioral Traits:
Fearful: Sanika expressed fear of darkness, ghosts, and heights.
Curious and Talkative: She displayed an inquisitive and communicative nature.
Slow Learning to Walk: Her developmental milestone of walking was delayed.
Cravings: She had a craving for sweets and eggs.
Physical Traits:
Constipation: Sanika suffered from constipation with hard stools.
Recurrent Tonsillitis: She had a history of recurrent tonsillitis, often treated with antibiotics.
Scalp Odor: Her scalp emitted a sour odor.
Previous Treatment:
Notably, when Sanika first consulted three years ago, she received Calcarea Carb 200, a homeopathic remedy. This treatment yielded significant improvement within three months, leading her parents to discontinue it prematurely.
Observations and Treatment Approach:
Nature of Psoriasis in Children: The case of Sanika underscores the growing prevalence of psoriasis in children, characterized by heightened activity.
Effective Response to Homeopathy: Sanika’s positive response to Calcarea Carb 200 highlights the efficacy of homeopathic treatments, particularly in cases of plaque psoriasis in children.
Long-Term Management: Psoriasis, being an autoimmune disease, often necessitates prolonged treatment. Even when acute exacerbations are controlled with the correct similimum (homeopathic remedy), it is crucial to continue treatment for at least 1 to 3 years to manage the condition effectively.
Treatment Outcome:
It is imperative to understand that psoriasis has a propensity to recur, especially when treatment is discontinued prematurely. However, with consistent and appropriate homeopathic treatment, psoriasis tends to return in milder forms with each recurrence. Ultimately, there is a possibility of achieving remission for an extended period. If psoriasis does not recur after discontinuing homeopathic treatment, patients should be monitored for 1.5 to 3 years, and the likelihood of the condition returning becomes minimal.
In conclusion, Sanikas case exemplifies the challenges posed by plaque psoriasis in children and the effectiveness of homeopathic treatment in managing the condition. Continuation of treatment, even after initial improvement, is essential in achieving long-term remission and preventing severe recurrences. Homeopathy offers a holistic approach to managing psoriasis, taking into account the patient’s physical and emotional well-being.
