“INVEST IN YOUR SKIN; IT’S GOING TO REPRESENT YOU FOR A LONG TIME.”

Truly speaking, the organ for which human cares, thinks, stressed out, invest most is neither a heart nor brain but THE SKIN. Skin represents the personality of the person based on which the world judges you. Healthy skin gives you confidence in yourself. It also expresses how healthy you are!!! That is why more than anything, a person worried most about skin. It has a more cosmetic value.

Skin is the largest organ of the body. The skin prevents germs from entering the body and damaging internal organs. Skin supports the life of all other body parts and plays a role in maintaining the immune system. Skin also helps to regulate body temperature through the sweat glands.

SYMPTOMS OF SKIN DISEASE

When any disturbance occurs inside our body, first it will be expressed through the skin as it is the outer layer of our body.

When you are too much stressed out or depressed or disturbed, your skin, your face will express it in a better way than yourself.

When the endocrine system disturbed, it tends to produce acne, dark pigmentation, lipoma, offensive odour from the perspiration, hair falling, baldness in patches, and excessive hair at unwanted places.

White patches or vitiligo represents the deficiency of vitamins and minerals in our body. It is also one of the symptoms of leprosy with loss of sensation of the affected part, which is still considered as a social stigma.

Skin problems like Psoriasis, eczema, fungal infection, warts, ringworm, herpes zoster, moles, alopecia (baldness in patches), hair falling, white hair, scabies, lichen planus, sun allergy, dermatitis, Urticarial rash are merely an expression on the skin of inner disturbance at the immune system level.

If we try to cure any skin problem, only by applying local application whatever with cream, gel, oil, etc. We can achieve an only temporary solution with side effects of steroids- which is the content of some of the local applicants.

In all skin problems, homoeopathy will bring harmony from within and so we can achieve a permanent solution. Along with homoeopathic medicine, nutritional deficiencies also need to be corrected with proper nutritious food and lifestyle management.

Get glowing healthy skin with homoeopathy in natural way!!!

Allergy & Acne

Allergy:

  • Causes: Immune system reaction to substances like pollen, pet dander, or certain foods.
  • Symptoms: Sneezing, runny or stuffy nose, itchy eyes or skin, and in severe cases, anaphylaxis.

Acne:

  • Causes: Excess oil production, clogged pores, bacteria, hormonal changes, and sometimes genetics.
  • Symptoms: Pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, and sometimes painful cysts on the face, neck, chest, or back.

Boils

  • Causes: Typically caused by Staphylococcus aureus bacteria infecting hair follicles or breaks in the skin.
  • Symptoms: Painful, red, swollen bump with pus at the center (abscess).

Corns

  • Causes: Thickened areas of skin caused by repeated pressure or friction, often on feet or hands.
  • Symptoms: Hard, thickened skin with a central core (core may be soft or hard depending on type).

Dandruff

Dandruff is a common scalp condition where flakes of dead skin appear on the scalp and often fall onto the shoulders or clothes.

  • Causes:
    • Dry Skin: Flakes are small and dry.
    • Seborrheic Dermatitis: Oily, yellowish flakes with red, irritated skin.
  • Symptoms: Itchy scalp and visible flakes of skin on hair and shoulder.

Dermatitis

  • Causes: Inflammation of the skin due to irritants (like soaps or chemicals) or allergens (like certain foods or plants).
  • Symptoms: Red, itchy rash, dryness, swelling, and sometimes blisters or scales.

Eczema

  • Causes: Genetic and environmental factors that lead to inflammation and hypersensitivity of the skin.
  • Symptoms: Dry, itchy, red patches of skin, often occurring in folds of skin (like elbows or behind knees).

Fungal Infection

A fungal infection is caused by fungi that invade and grow on or within the body’s tissues. These infections can affect different parts of the body, including the skin, nails, hair, and internal organs.

  • Types: Common fungal infections include athlete’s foot (tinea pedis), ringworm (tinea corporis), jock itch (tinea cruris), and yeast infections (like candidiasis).
  • Causes: Fungi thrive in warm, moist environments. They can spread through direct contact with infected individuals, contaminated surfaces, or from animals to humans.
  • Symptoms: Symptoms vary based on the type and location of the infection but often include itching, redness, swelling, rash, and in some cases, flaking or peeling skin.
  • Diagnosis: Usually based on clinical examination and sometimes confirmed through laboratory tests such as fungal cultures or microscopic examination of skin scrapings.

Herpes

Herpes is a viral infection caused by herpes simplex virus (HSV-1 or HSV-2). HSV-1 causes cold sores around the mouth, while HSV-2 causes genital herpes. Symptoms include painful sores or blisters. Treatment involves antiviral medications to manage outbreaks and reduce transmission risk.

Lichen planus

Lichen planus is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting the skin or mucous membranes, causing itchy, reddish-purple bumps or white, lacy patches in the mouth. Treatment involves corticosteroid creams or oral medications to reduce inflammation and manage symptoms.

  • Causes: Exact cause is unclear; may involve autoimmune factors or triggered by certain medications or infections.
  • Symptoms: Itchy, flat-topped bumps or lesions on the skin, often shiny and reddish-purple in color. In oral lichen planus, lesions appear as white, lacy patches on the inside of the cheeks or tongue.
  • Diagnosis: Typically based on clinical examination and sometimes confirmed through biopsy.

Pigmentation

Pigmentation refers to the color of the skin, influenced by melanin production. It can manifest as dark spots (hyperpigmentation) or light patches (hypopigmentation) due to various factors like sun exposure, hormones, or medical conditions. Treatment options include topical creams, procedures like laser therapy, and preventive measures such as sun protection.

Causes: Genetic factors, sun exposure, hormonal changes, medications, skin injuries, and medical conditions.

Psoriasis

  • Symptoms: Red, raised patches covered with silvery scales, often on the elbows, knees, scalp, and lower back.
  • Causes: Genetic predisposition, immune system dysfunction, and triggers such as stress, infections, or certain medications.

Urticaria

  • Causes: Allergic reactions, infections, medications, physical stimuli (like pressure or cold), or autoimmune disorders.
  • Symptoms: Itchy, red or skin-colored bumps or welts that vary in size and shape.

Vitiligo

  • Description: Vitiligo is a condition where patches of skin lose their pigment (color), resulting in white or light-colored patches.
  • Causes: Exact cause is unknown; thought to involve autoimmune factors where the immune system attacks melanocytes (cells that produce pigment).
  • Symptoms: White patches on the skin, often symmetrically distributed on areas like the face, hands, arms, and genitalia.

White Patch

  • Description: Leucoderma refers to localized loss of skin pigmentation, similar to vitiligo.
  • Causes: May result from trauma, burns, infections, or inflammatory skin conditions.

Warts

  • Description: Warts are small, rough growths on the skin caused by infection with human papillomavirus (HPV).
  • Types: Common warts (on hands and fingers), plantar warts (on feet), genital warts (on genitals and surrounding areas).
