Cured Case Of Photodermatitis - A Report

Allergy from sun rays can be very troublesome, especially if it’s not possible for the patient to avoid sun exposure due to work compulsions. Regarding the options which patients have:
  • Use of sunscreens can help a bit, but often fails to give significant relief, apart from the fact that it’s just a method of management, not capable of curing the disease. 
  • Use of steroids involves the risk of side effects. 
  • Significant relief and cure is possible through classical homoeopathic treatment, but unfortunately most of the patients are not aware of this fact, plus many doctors practice pseudo-homoeopathy, which is not capable of yielding the desired results.

I have discussed photodermatitis or sun allergy in detail, including its symptoms and causes, in an earlier post. Here I will discuss the homoeopathic treatment of photodermatitis and a case of skin allergy from sun rays, which was cured successfully at my clinic using classical homoeopathic methods. Hope the information provided in this post  proves to be useful for those suffering from sun allergy.

Facts About Homoeopathic Treatment of Photodermatitis

  • In complete repertory, 90 homoeopathic medicines are listed for ailments from sun exposure. 
  • Homoeopathic medicine has to be prescribed on the basis of individualization.
  • Different patients suffering from same disease may require different medicines for cure. 
  • Constitutional medicine of the patient, carefully selected according to the rules of classical homoeopathy, relieves the patient of his or her allergy to the sun rays.

Here I will mention a case of skin allergy from sun exposure, which improved considerably with homoeopathy at my clinic.

  2. Acid phos in this case. But it won't relieve every case of photodermatitis.
