Say goodbye to nail psoriasis with homoeopath­y

-

Many people associate psoriasis, a common, non-contagious, autoimmune disease with dry and itchy skin patches. But little do they know that apart from causing thick silvery scales on the body, psoriasis can also affect the fingernail­s and toenails.

In fact, about 50 percent of psoriasis patients tend to have nails that are crippled, deformed, and break easily. Deep nail pitting, yellow to pink discoloura­tion, and appearance of white areas under the nail plate are common changes. In severe cases, crumbling of the nail plate into yellowish patches or even complete loss of nail may also occur.

According to Dr SPS Bakshi, CMD, Bakson Group, nail psoriasis is very often misdiagnos­ed and confused with fungal infection or lack of hygiene, so awareness, both for physicians and common public, is essential.

Homoeopath­y provides effective treatment of psoriasis, by uplifting the immune system of the body.

How to treat it?

Commonly prescribed homoeopath­ic medicines are — Graphites 30: For deformed, painful, sore, thick, black, rough, and crippled nails with inflamed matrix. Flouricum Acidum 30: To treat crumbling nails and the feeling of a splinter under the nail.

Fourth week: Twice a week i.e. once on Monday and Thursday.
