Homoeopathy has insightful and deep understanding towards the treatment of skin diseases. One thing is sure, which every patient with skin disease should know, that skin diseases are never skin deep. They have deep roots and must be treated accordingly.

Homeopathy strongly believes in understanding the totalistic causative factors while handling skin diseases, whereby the study of skin, mind, genetic influences and immunological patters put together determines the line of treatment. Homoeopathy is strictly against the use of local creams or lotions to treat deep seated skin diseases, which are very superficial.

It is very rare that deep seated skin diseases such as psoriasis, eczema, lichen planus or vitiligo can get completely cured with locally applied steroids or creams. Homoeopathy, in fact, condemns the use of local steroids for all sorts of chronic skin diseases. This is based on the observation that the steroids simply 'suppress' the skin disease without curing it. In most cases, the skin diseases resurface after the use of steroids.
