The largest organ of the body can express numerous ailments, all which may respond well with homeopathy. Many people today suffer from chronic skin conditions that are often uncomfortable, painful and/or unsightly. Possible afflictions include acne, psoriasis, eczema, dermatitis, fungal infections and warts.
Most skin ailments are superficial and are not life-threatening; however, subcutaneous infections, like cellulitis, are another story and should be seen by a physician.
The western medical approach to skin conditions is usually to suppress the eruptions with steroidal creams or medications. From a homeopathic point of view, even the condition of your skin is linked to your mental state. Therefore, if you suppress the skin condition, you do nothing to address the underlying mental state that created the problem in the first place. Because the body’s expression has been suppressed, the body will choose another way to express usually more serious than the first. This explains the link physicians have seen between eczema and asthma (people who develop eczema will often develop asthma later in life). Although homeopathic treatment of skin conditions can take a while, homeopathy can achieve a “healing” of the condition versus a suppression.

There is no one specific homeopathic remedy for your skin problems. During the homeopathic interview, you will be asked to describe your experience of your symptoms, and a remedy will be chosen that is specific to you. Since it is chosen on your total picture, it often helps with other things such as energy and mood.
