Abstract
Psoriasis is a chronic cutaneous disorder, which is protean in its manifestation. It is a significant source of morbidity and mortality. It is associated with arthropathy as well as disorders such as diabetes mellitus and coronary artery disease. Therapeutic guidelines offer a wide range of topical and systemic treatments, yet a number of patients are often dissatisfied with the treatment of their disease and, in consequence, seek other alternatives. Homeopathy is a gentle, safe method of treatment that would appear to have positive effects in the treatment of psoriasis. Three cases of palmar and plantar psoriasis treated with homeopathy are presented.
