Case History Report

Patient Information:

• Age: 52 years

• Gender: Male

• Nationality: Russian

• Current Residence: United States

• Condition: Psoriasis with extensive skin lesions

• ​

Presenting Complaints:

A 52-year-old Russian male, residing in the United States, presented with chronic psoriasis characterized by large skin lesions affecting multiple areas, including:

• Cheeks

• Elbows

• Thighs

• Calves

The patient reported that, despite undergoing treatment from dermatology specialists in the U.S., his condition persisted without significant improvement. The physical discomfort, social stigma, and workplace discrimination due to the visible lesions severely affected his ability to work.

​

Medical History and Previous Management:

The patient had previously been treated with conventional dermatological therapies in the U.S., but the lesions remained largely unresponsive. The persistence of symptoms led to emotional distress, social withdrawal, and professional challenges.

 

Response to Ayurvedic Treatment at Indian Ayurvedic Hospital, Coimbatore:

• Day 14: Following two weeks of Ayurvedic treatment, all lesions had completely disappeared, except for a small residual patch on one thigh.

• One Month Post-Treatment: The remaining lesion resolved completely with continued medication.

• Outcome: The patient achieved complete remission, expressing immense relief and gratitude for the recovery.

 

Discussion:

Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin disorder with no definitive cure in conventional medicine. While modern treatments often focus on symptom management, recurrence is common. This case highlights the potential of Ayurvedic treatment in achieving complete resolution of chronic psoriasis, offering a natural and sustainable alternative to conventional therapies. The patient's rapid and lasting improvement suggests that Ayurveda may effectively address the underlying pathology of autoimmune skin conditions.

 

Conclusion:

This case demonstrates the efficacy of Ayurvedic treatment in resolving chronic psoriasis, achieving full remission where conventional medicine had limited success. The patient, who previously suffered from severe discomfort, social stigma, and professional difficulties, was able to regain normalcy in life after treatment at Indian Ayurvedic Hospital, Coimbatore. This case underscores Ayurveda’s role as a definitive therapeutic option for chronic dermatological conditions rather than merely a complementary approach.
