Psoriasis is one of the most common skin diseases nowadays, as in the most of the cases, the exact cause is unknown. Psoriasis is a auto-immune disorder which is very difficult to cure as after treatment its recurrence rate is very high as it recur after 5-6 months of treatment but by homoeopathic treatment, one cannot only cure the disease but can control the recurrence rate. Homoeopathy, however, provides a better response in such condition, one such case report is presented below.
