‘If you don’t bathe properly, you’ll get rashes’. We’ve all heard this statement when we were young, but being unhygienic is not the only cause for eczema. Skin conditions such as eczema, allergic dermatitis, urticaria, skin allergy, psoriasis, etc. are usually symptoms of a larger constitutional problem. Thus, merely treating the visible rash will not cure the problem. Homeopathy is an effective form of treatment for skin diseases as it addresses the root cause of the problem.

When it comes to homeopathy, no one medicine can be used universally. This is because homeopathic prescriptions depend on the symptoms presented and the mental state of the person.

Here are some of the common homeopathic remedies prescribed for skin disorders.

1. Graphites: This is used to treat a number of skin conditions. Some of the symptoms it can address are:

  • Moist scabby eruptions on joints, between fingers, behind the ears or on the scalp

  • Dry and scaly skin

  • Fissured eczema that bleeds or has a thick gooey discharge

  • Itchy eczema on the scalp and face

2. Arsenicum: Arsenicum is prescribed to treat chronic eczema, psoriasis and urticaria. Some of the visible symptoms it helps treat are:

  • Thickened skin

  • Itching and inflammation of the skin

  • Pimples and nettle rash
