Ms Sweety , a 7 years old girl, came with her mother with palmo plantar psoriasis for 3 years. She stays with her father and mother and a younger sister. Father is working in a printing press and mother is a teacher by profession. Sweet  was quite bubbly and jovial the moment she entered and after a few minutes of timidity hiding behind her mother, she came straight to me and started seeing what I was doing on my laptop. She asked me what are you doing? Do you have computer games on this, Do you have pokemon on this? What are you doing? Don’t you get bored sitting here all day? Do you ever go out? I was shocked at the extrovertedness and audacity of this tiny tot. The mother said that please don’t mind her attitude, she is like this with everyone be it someone she knows or stranger. I asked her to tell me more about her. The mother said that she has had this problem of cracks and fissures since she was 3 years old and they have tried all kinds of treatments but in vain. They had also tried homeopathy from an eminent homeopath from South Mumbai but there was no result. One of my patients referred her to me. How did this Start? I asked the mother. She said that there are a lot of fights verbal and sometimes physical between her and her husband and this child has been a witness to these fights for 3 years. She sees and cries, many times hiding and sometimes intervenes. How can she describe her? The mother’s eyes sparkled at this question and she said Sweety is as her name, she is a very sweet girl, always likes to have fun, very jovial, mixes easily with others even strangers, everyone knows her in our society and we are known as her parents not she known as our daughter. She enjoys watching cartoons and would spend hours together watching her favorite cartoon pokemon. She is quite famous for her jolly nature, humorous jokes, imitating various characters in movies and advertisements, even her teachers. She likes to have fun all time and likes traveling , mostly she would like to go to resorts and likes adventure games like roller coasters and giant wheels. She is not afraid of anything even heights. She is very talkative and keeps talking too much not listening to others.She is also an attention seeker and will sort to anything to attract attention towards herself.  She is also jealous of her younger sister but will share her toys and dolls with others. At the same time she is also very caring of others and will even apply balm on my head when i’m not well. She will also offer water or sometimes snacks to her father when he returns from office. She likes to be caressed and cuddled. She is very curious by nature always asking questions about everything. Many times even we don’t know the answers to her questions. Sweety was dressed up quite gaudily with a rainbow hair band and a red lipstick and a very bright red fluorescent dress and matching shoes and even nail paint as if she had come for some function. I asked this to her mother and she said sweety like to wear nice branded clothes and put on makeup and see herself in the mirror. She is quite competitive as far as she looks and her studies too. She cries when someone gets even one mark more than her in exams. She is very intelligent and always stands first in all competitions and exams. She likes eating chocolates and sweets and also icecreams

hobbies- dancing , music , playing , makeup 

Her sleep was disturbed because of itching. Her appetite was also low and she had lost weight recently. She also had become irritable lately due to her complaints. Her stamina was also low and she used to get tired easily.

By now there were two three remedies coming to my mind like Phos, Puls and Lachesis. But based on her desire for amusement and her competitiveness I ruled out Puls and Phos and gave her Lachesis 200 one dose

20/8/2023 First prescription Lachesis 200 /3 doses followed by SL for 01 month

10/9/2023 Lesions were much better 80%, cracks and fissures better, itching better, sleep better, appetite improved, stamina better- SL for one month

20/10/2023 Lesions started again, cracks came back and itching increased she got less marks in her exams and she was very disturbed about it, cried for a  whole day, again sleep affected – repeated Lachesis 200/3 doses

1/11/2023 Lesions are better more than 90%, itching better 90% sleep better, stamina better, moods are much better now- SL for one month
