Healing from Within: Holistic Healing of Chronic Infected Foot Dermatitis with Graphites and Bacillinum: A Homoeopathic Case Report

This case report highlights the effective homoeopathic management of chronic foot dermatitis complicated by secondary infection in a 55-year-old female patient. She presented with oozing, cracked, and itchy skin lesions, particularly on the dorsum and soles of the feet, accompanied by thick yellowish discharge, crust formation, and offensive perspiration. The condition was recurrent and had shown only partial relief with previous allopathic treatment, including topical steroids and antibiotics. A detailed case analysis revealed a chronic psoro-syphilitic miasmatic background with a suppressed skin history and constitutional features including anxiety, fastidiousness, constipation, and sensitivity to cold. Based on totality of symptoms, Graphites was selected as the constitutional remedy and administered in 200C and later 1M potency. Bacillinum was used as an intercurrent to address the miasmatic block and enhance the constitutional response. The individualized treatment approach resulted in consistent clinical improvement and complete resolution of lesions over a three-month period without recurrence.
