He was suffering from it for 1 year. The lesions of psoriasis were present on his hands and legs majorly. He was experiencing very intense itching in the lesions. Dryness and roughness were present all over the skin of his hands and legs. Hyperpigmented marks were observed on his skin. He was using oral and local applications of steroids & consuming antibiotics for the past 9 months, and he had stopped them as he found no positive results. 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 symptoms.
Follow-Ups:
At the first follow-up on 13th April 2010, the patient reported to the Life Force clinic that there was a mild improvement in the healing of the lesions on his palms and soles.
On 3rd August 2010, the patient reported that he was further better with the homeopathic medicines. He had experienced a good relief in the complaints and mentioned that he was almost 70% better now. The itching was very minimal. No new lesions had developed, but the healing of active lesions was better.
On 15th September 2011, the patient had experienced 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. By this time, the patient mentioned that he was 80% better with the homeopathic medicines.
On 17th December 2011, the patient updated that he was almost 90% to 95% 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. He experienced a great recovery from psoriasis with homeopathic medicines.
The patient has recently started treatment for pharyngitis and has been experiencing immense relief in the same.
