Hi Dr Sharma, love your article. I am a homeopath myself and have been researching psoriasis remedies and am surprised that Sulphur and Psorinum don’t come up as top remedies. Have you ever used these for scalp psoriasus and what was the outcome if you have? Currently i have been treating with Phos for another condition, which has improved. Now it has increased her psoriasis with also burning itching legs.
I would be most grateful for your experienced opinion.
Thankyou

Dr. Sharma,
I got psoriasis and I believe it is more of mild Plague than Guttate based on the symptoms. It never occurred on my scalp but it is on behind the knee, on the lower back, on the groin and on the scars. Based on my own study it was triggered by malarial treatment medications, hydroxy chloroquine and quinine pills and other medications such as tetracyclines and amoxicilin, that were administered to me by doctors long time ago (in the 80s).
I have been to bunch of doctors including the Mayo Clinic doctors but they could not get rid of the condition and they did not know what it was. So finally after some years the disease went into remission but came back about seven years when a doctor gave me some sample medications for high blood pressure and that was then when I did some research and found that the disease was Auto-immune triggered. It is back again and I want to try your homeopathy treatment, it sounds very interesting and promising. I would like to try the med for plague and Guttate Psoriasis.

I am suffering from psoriasis.but which potency of medicine to take. Dry skin,scally,cracks,affected parts is Hands finger and toes.
I am unhappy with my homeopath, I have really bad psoriasis and also anxiety. She gave me Lach humanum but I feel it is the wrong remedy. I am a very loving person, too caring infact and the write up on this remedy says it is for someone who has no sympathy for others and is detached, unable to love. I really dont think my homeopath has been listening. Only two days in and my anxiety is ten fold. I feel terrible! She insists it is just a coincidence and not the remedy as it is too soon. But I know myself, and I feel so much worse. I feel powerless. She is hard to get a word in edgeways with, and I dont feel strong enough to argue with her… she is greek and quite a stubborn character. What can I do? My concern is that if it is the wrong remedy, it may be making things worse. I have read homeopathic papers on people having serious issues when given the wrong remedy.
Oh I need to add: I cannot afford to go and have another consulation elsewhere, I have no money left ( i am quite poor). I know someone may suggest I talk to her, but she is very insistent that it is right. I wish I had chosen someone else but it is too late now. If anyone replies I thank you in advance.
Which type of psoriasis u have?plz let me know .I can help u
Mine is very widespread, and this outbreak is the most aggressive Ive ever had. It is spreading at an alarming rat and burns like hell. No amount of moisturizing is enough. My homeopath has given me lach humanum, but I fear it will not address the skin and I’ll have to wait until she gives me something else. Im so depressed, its spreading by the day… a million little tiny dots appearing all over on a daily basis… the older patches are huge and raw. Each dot turns into a bigger and bigger patch… so in just a few weeks I could be completely covered in large raw patches.. I wish I knew which remedy to try, Id try it myself. Dont like this homeopath, but I ve spent all my m oney now and cant afford to start over.
