Abstract

Vitiligo is an acquired pigmentary disorder characterized by the selective loss or dysfunction of epidermal melanocytes, leading to well-defined depigmented macules and patches. It has shown global prevalence from 0.1% to 2%, although higher prevalence rates have been reported in various Indian studies. Conventional therapy can sometimes be limited, but Homoeopathy provides an approach that can treat it as an individual and holistic medical practice. The given case shows an impressive response in a 27-year-old patient with Arsenic Sulphuratum Flavum, as per the constitutional and miasmatic interpretation. Noticeable Re-pigmentation could be achieved within three follow-ups spanning 3 months, indicating its efficacy in some vitiligo patient.
