Abstract:
Vitiligo a disease of cosmetic problem has much psychosocial impact. The success rate in
treating this condition in conventional medicines is limited and sometimes, treatment follows with
side effects. Though a few case records are documented in the past about the success of
various homoeopathic medicines, yet they lack proper quantitative assessment. This is a case
documented from the ongoing clinical research study on vitiligo at Clinical Research Unit
(Homoeopathy), Chennai. The case was treated with Phosphorus over a period of 17 months with
steady improvement which is evident from the photographs and improvement in baseline scores
of presentation of the case. The outcome of the ongoing multicentric clinical research study will
reveal further regarding the effect of homoeopathic medicine in Vitiligo.
