Objectives: Study the effectiveness of homeopathic medicine in managing skin disease and their role in treating skin Disorders. Methods: Two case reports examined the effectiveness of homoeopathic treatment in treating skin diseases by searching PubMed and Google Scholar databases. Following abstract assessment, the full texts of the articles that made the shortlist were examined for study design.

She had complained of cracked fingers, feet, soles, and palms, which worsened when wet. After treatment, there was no recurrence (Fig no:1). In an additional case study, a 65-year-old woman with a skin condition characterized by vesicular eruptions, peeling, dryness, itching, bleeding, and scratching was treated with Coffea Cruda 30CH and Mercurius Solubilis 200CH. This treatment prevented further burning (Fig no:2). Symptomatology was identified, and repertorization was performed using the Synthesis Repertory & Zomeo. The patient was prescribed medicine in centesimal potency, and they showed improvement within three months. Both cases were assessed based on the reportorial totality of symptoms. Conclusion: The study, from 2005 to 2021, evaluates clinical trials and assesses homeopathy's efficacy in treating dermatitis.
