        abstract = {Background: Recurrent vesicles, acute pruritus, burning, fissuring, and lichenification of the skin are characteristic features of chronic hand eczema (CHE), especially the dyshidrotic type and stasis dermatitis of the lower limbs. Topical corticosteroids and antihistamines used in conventional treatment mostly give short-term relief and are susceptible to adverse effects and recurrent relapses. Individualised homoeopathy can give a long-term therapeutic approach by treating the patient's constitutional and symptom totality.
Objective: The goal is to assess the clinical results of individualised homoeopathic treatment for a 50-year-old female patient who has lower limb stasis dermatitis and persistent dyshidrotic hand eczema that responds poorly to conventional medical treatments.
Methods: CARE guidelines were followed in the preparation of this observational case report. Presenting complaints, methods, constitutional features, personal and family history, and miasmatic assessment were all part of the thorough case-taking process. The selection of remedies was based on individualisation and conventional homoeopathic repertorization. The Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for burning and itching, and serial photographic recording were used to evaluate clinical progress.
Results: Marked clinical improvement was observed following individualized homeopathic treatment. Vesicular eruptions, erythema, fissuring, itching, and burning progressively reduced during follow-up. The VAS score for itching decreased from 82/100 to 14/100, while burning sensation reduced from 78/100 to 12/100. DLQI scores demonstrated substantial improvement in quality of life. Serial photographs confirmed visible healing of hand eczema and regression of stasis dermatitis changes. No adverse effects were reported.
Conclusion: After providing individualised homoeopathic treatment, this patient's chronic treatment-resistant dyshidrotic hand eczema and stasis dermatitis achieved significant clinical improvement. To assess this approach's efficacy in broader patient populations, more controlled research is required.},
