He was experiencing intense itching in the lesions and had a marked hypersensitivity on the skin. He was using oral anti-histamines and anti-allergics for a long time. He was using them as soon as the lesions of urticaria appeared for the past entire year. Whenever he tried to reduce the dose of steroids, he noticed new lesions on the skin. The patient was very anxious about his illness.

At Life Force:
After studying the case in detail, Dr. Shah prescribed some research-based homeopathic medicines along with some dietary tips to the patient. The patient was also informed about tapering the dose of steroids and not stopping it all of a sudden as it can increase the disease.
Follow-Ups:
At the first follow-up on 31st July 2020, the patient reported that there was a mild improvement with the homeopathic medicines. The itching had reduced than before. A few new lesions were present on the thighs as he was reducing the dose of steroids gradually, but, overall, he was stable with the medicines. The patient was also advised to have certain vitamin supplements along with the medicines.
On 30th October 2020, the patient reported that he was further better with the medicines. His relief in the complaints was almost 50% better now. The itching was very minimal. No new lesions had developed. The hyper-pigmented marks were still present, but the healing of active lesions was better. He had stopped taking allopathic medicines for a month and was only on homeopathy. The patient was very happy with the progress.
On 3rd February 2021, the patient mentioned that there was more improvement with the medicines. The itching was very negligible now. The spread of the disease was completely under control. He was overall stable with the medicines.
On 10th June 2021, the patient updated that he was almost 80% to 90% better in his relief in the complaints. He no more experienced itching on the skin. There was no spread of the disease. The active lesions had subsided, and only hyperpigmented marks were remaining on the skin and they were getting lighter day by day. He experienced a great recovery from urticaria with homeopathic medicines.
The patient thanked Dr. Shah and the whole Life Force team for treating him and eliminating his dependency on steroids. He is still under treatment to get recovered completely from his disease.
Conclusion:
This case illustrates that homeopathy is highly effective in treating urticaria incredibly and safely without any adverse effects.
