Abstract:
Hypertrophic scar (HSc) is a dermal fibro proliferative disorder that occurs following
trauma, inflammation, surgery, burns, and sometimes spontaneously. This is a case
report of a 23 year old male with post-burn HSc after acid burn injury on his left jaw.
The homoeopathic medicine Silicea was prescribed in 30th potency on the basis of the
totality of symptoms followed by repertorization; though only three doses of Silicea
were prescribed at baseline during the course of treatment followed by placebo, there
was a marked improvement in HSc as well as in associated complaints.
