Tina Gupta
Abstract: Background: There is an increase in the incidence of dermatophytic infections and the emergence of an epidemic of recurrent and chronic dermatophytosis in India. To treat the same, the antifungal drugs prescribed in modern medicine are not able to give permanent results. Therefore, this study focused on treating dermatophytosis with the help of homoeopathic medicine. Methods: This study was done at Sri Guru Nanak Dev Homoeopathic Medical College & Hospital, where fifty cases of patients suffering from dermatophytosis were selected using a random sampling technique as per the inclusion and exclusion criteria, which were prescribed homoeopathic medicines in various potencies. Improvement was analysed using a score chart. Statistical evaluation was done based on the results found in the study. Result: The study showed a significant improvement in both acute and chronic conditions; about 40% showed moderate improvement, 30% showed marked improvement, and 28% showed mild improvement.
