Homeopathic treatment of eczema and Atopic dermatitis
It is a general term for the several types of inflammation of the skin. It is a condition that refers to a number of skin conditions in which the skin is red irritated and at times also has fluid filled and oozing eruptions. Eczema may also cause mild to very severe itching any where on the skin.
What is Atopic dermatitis?
It is the most common form of eczema and is marked by itchy inflamed skin. Scratching usually leads to redness, swelling, cracking, oozing of clear fluid, and at times there is a formation of crusts and scales .Individuals having Atopic dermatitis has a strong inherited link associated with it. They usually have a family history of asthma, hay fever or other allergies.
Let?s take the main question head on; can Homeopathic treatment completely cure eczema? Can it cure even the most chronic ones?
The answer is ?yes it can?. It is so, because homeopathy treats not only the disease but the whole patient.
What do homeopaths mean when they say they treat not only the disease but the whole patient?
I t is a concept that even the modern medicine is now accepting, that the body stands as one unit and all organs whether it may be skin, kidney, lungs, brain etc. are linked someway or the other and disorder in one part can easily affect the other .for example It is now a well known fact that stress can aggravate many conditions including eczemas and can even become a cause itself. So in such case the homoeopath would direct his cure towards the treatment of stress.
Thus when homeopaths say that they treat the whole patient, it actually means that they are analyzing your complete system and locating and thereby treating the main source of problem.
Another very important example in treating eczema in a holistic way by homoeopathy is the treatment of atopic dermatitis- it is a well known fact in the modern medicine that eczema like Atopic dermatitis are due to the inheritance of the allergy factor from either of the parents. So when a homeopath treats atopic dermatitis, he treats this inherited internal pollution (This in Homeopath?s language is also called as a Miasm) so as to completely remove the disease.
Will I have an initial flare-up in my eczema symptoms (as it is commonly believed) if I start homoeopathic treatment?
It is very important to realize that such an increase does not happen with every case of eczema. An initial mild increase in the symptoms is always a welcome sign, but in chronic eczematous conditions where the symptoms have been suppressed for years together by the use of suppressive drugs, this increase can, at times, go beyond the mild stage, if the right potency of the medicine is not used. But, it is a situation that is very easily overcome by experienced homoeopaths by using milder potencies that do not cause those initial flare-ups. Using LM potency is one such concept that can eliminate the risk of an initial increase in the symptoms in chronic suppressed eczemas.
Can I use homoeopathy on my own to treat eczemas?
As you might have already realized that skin disorders are not merely localized symptoms, it is always safe to have a professional help. A complete analysis of the mind and the body is necessary before one can prescribe in chronic skin disorders like eczemas.

Dear Dr.Sharma,
I am suffering with Skin problem from 1994(my age 17 years). First time I had this when I was travelling in train, it was raiining and some water dirty water fell on my leg and I had several itching and oozing from that place. I used some ointment(Betnovate) by consulting Dr. After that every year I am getting by getting in contact with leather cheppals. I showed it to skin Dr. and they said it is called Eczema and gave me some tablets and ointment(Tenovate G). After that next year when I got it I tried to use Homeo Pathy but it started aggravting with several pain and even unable to walk. Then I stopped it in the middle and went for Allopathy. Later in year 2000 I again got it on my leg and then I tried Homeopathy and beared the aggravation with completely cracks and swelling and difficult to walk. The Homeo medicines given to me were Sepia and Tuberculnum. After 1.5 month it completely healed ending with chickenpox. And Dr. suggested me to periodically use these two drugs to completely root out. So I have smaller patch coming up and going away on my legs till 2002 ending. I didn’t suffer with it again in 2004 mid. And in 2004 june I got this again on my lower end of leg and I used the same medicines (Sep 1CM, Tub 10M) single dose with 2months gap as suggested by Dr. I got cured with in 3 months completely. I moved to US and continuously using the medicines for every 2months a single dose(Sep for every 6months and Tub for every 2months). I have n’t suffered with any thing during my 1.5 years of stay though I have used leather Cheppals and watch with leather strap and came back to India in Jan 2007. I bought a pair of leather cheppals and and I started felling itiching on my legs where it gets contacts, my leg fingers, toe. Since I am continuously using the above mentioned drugs, lot of it got healed with in 3 months. Again small thing left on my left leg toe. In the month of July it got puss in it and I am trying somany homeo medicines, including the baove and echinicea, calendula, mazerium, MercSol. But it is growing and spread all my lower part left leg and in my ankle. And got small small things on my hands with itching and on body. Please suggest me some good medicines. which can compleatly cure. I am at age 30 years. This is disturbing a lot of my personal and professional life. If you consider my family history, my father is suffer with Psoriasis from past 25 years, my younger brother had it from his child hood and my grand mother having skin infections. I don’t want to suffer any of my children, please let me know the necessary steps I shoud take.

Dear Dr.
My daughters aged nine and fifteen have red patchy skin on the palms of their hands. It gets very dry, sweaty and cold. There is no itching. I have complete faith in homeopathy. I consulted a homeo doctor and the medication continued for 6 months. a temporary relief was felt. Again the same symptoms are coming up.
In addition my elder daughter has discoloration on her face. Since my elder daughter is in xth she faces lot of problems writing with pen with sweaty palms.
Kindly suggest homepathic remedy for this.
Hi,
I am going to Homeo Dr for my son(5 yr) for treating his mild asthama. After going there for 6 months, now he is very well relieved from asthama. but now he has atopic dermatitis. He is stuggling with it for last 1 month…has lot of etching red skin etc. Dr has suggested not to apply any kind of cream except for coconut oil if needed. I am really confused whether to continue with it or go for allopathy. Please help.
i am 33 years aged female, suffering with itching problem on my face with pimples from last 2 years,tried a lot with english medicines but no result.
Only worse acne and pimples on my cheeks.
I have extremely itchy painful blotches almost everywhere from my chinline up it oozes and pusses especially on my eyelids making almost everything painful. I have tried hydrocortisone and some natural treatments, also several creams the doctors have given me which have not even temporarily helped. Others say it looks like 3rd degree burns. It also feels like this when it breaks out badly. It is almost non existant in midsummer but all winter long it’s one breakout after another that makes life almost unbearable for the season. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Dr Sahib,
