Background Psoriasis is a chronic multisystem inflammatory disease with predominantly skin and joint involvement. Ample evidences suggest that psoriasis patients improve under homoeopathic treatment. The main objective of this documentation is to find out whether such improvement can be attributable to the homoeopathic treatment. Method A case of psoriasis vulgaris with the complaint of dry, scaly itching eruption on the extensor surface of both legs is presented here. Outcome-related to impact on daily living (ORIDL) was used to evaluate the patient-reported outcome related to his daily living, disease severity in the involved area was assessed by PASI (Psoriasis Area and Severity Index) scale and PDI (Psoriasis Disability Index) scale was used to assess the disease-specific quality of life. Photographs were taken as objective evidence after obtaining consent from the patient. The Modified Naranjo Criteria for Homeopathy (MONARCH) was used to find out the possible causal attribution of the treatment provided. Result The ORIDL score of (+4) showed the major improvement from patient and physician's perspective. PASI score reduced from ‘11.2 to 0’ (documented in photographs) within a plausible timeframe. The duration of remission of the skin lesion continued for six months. Each domain of PDI score reduced (from ‘25 to 3′) imparting improved quality of life. The high total score (+9 in ‘−6 to 13’ scale) of MONARCH suggested the likelihood of improvement was attributable to the homoeopathic intervention. This case has evidently shown its marked improvement with validated outcome measures.

Psoriasis is a common non-infectious disease, considered to be a chronic autoimmune condition, T-cell mediated, characterized by faster replacement of epidermis cells on the basal membrane level, consequently causing inflammation and scaling, affecting 2-3% of population. In palmoplantar psoriasis (PPP) fissures and bleeding aggravate patient's discomfort. Besides conventional dermatologic treatment, many patients choose homeopathic treatment for this condition due to their efficacy and lack of side-effects. In reports on homeopathic treatment of psoriasis the most used medicaments were so called polycrests, or big remedies (like Sulphur, Lycopodium, Natrum muriaticum, etc). In our article we report a case of PPP treated till recovery with a rare homeopathic remedy for this condition, Secale Cornutum, which was prescribed according to individualization of patient signs and symptoms.
