Psoriasis vulgaris is a chronic, sometimes debilitating, inflammatory disorder with multiple pathways of pathogenesis that can be associated with metabolic and cardiovascular disease. Juvenile form is very acute and wearisome.
This case history shows how Homoeopathic treatment resolves the gross pathological changes in an individual with marked manifestations forming an exact portrait of signs and symptoms. The careful case taking and correct analysis of collected data leads the physician to easily recognize the remedy and the result is always miraculous.

Complaints started from right hand and spreading to whole body. She suffered from fever, malaise and pain. On examination there were pustules on an erythematous basis, spreading all over the body. The pustules in some areas coalesced to form lakes. Additionally, we found scattered erythematous plaques arranged in an annular pattern on the upper limbs and the trunk. The plaques were covered with superficial pustules. Laboratory evaluation revealed an increased leukocyte count. A massive desquamation of the whole skin preceded the healing.

Clinical Analysis
Rubrics
Miasmatic Analysis
All the miasms are equally present except Sycosis which is the least.
Repertorization
Based on mental as well as physical generals, Staphysagria seems to be the remedy of choice as it covers all the miasms present in this case. Since Staphysagria is covering not only miasms but also mental as well as physical symptoms, 200 c is the potency of choice.
Prescription
18-04-2015 Staphygria 200 one dose stat followed by placebo thrice daily.
16-05-2015 Much Better in all respects. Placebo.
29-06-2015 Much Better in all respects. Placebo.
25-07-2015 Almost cured. Placebo.
Result and Discussion
Complete cure with a single dose within a few weeks! The mental and physical generals simultaneously matched are often the key to the case. Though, Carcinosin and Sulphur were also indicated in this case, the mental generals and desire for food worked as keynote and the total miasmatic coverage by a single remedy resulted is this perfect cure. This is a true miracle only possible by Homoeopathy.
