WARTS
DEFINITION
WARTS are produced by Human papilloma viruses which selectively infect the epithelium of the skin and mucous membranes.
EPIDEMIOLOGY
Warts are prevalent in well-defined human populations.
1. Common warts ( verruca vulgaris ) are found in as many as 25% of some groups and are most prevalent among young children.
2. Plantar warts ( verruca plantaris ) are also widely prevalent; they occur most often among adolescents and young adults.
3. Condyloma acuminatum (anogenital warts) is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases in the United States.
Infections are transmitted through direct contact with infectious lesions. Close personal contact is also assumed to play a role in the transmission of most cutaneous warts. Minor trauma at the site of inoculation may facilitate transmission
CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS
Common warts usually occur on the hands as flesh-colored to brown, exophytic, hyperkeratotic papules.
Plantar warts may be quite painful; they can be differentiated from calluses by paring of the surface to reveal thrombosed capillaries.
Flat warts (verruca plana;are most common among children and occur on the face, neck, chest, and flexor surfaces of the forearms and legs.
Anogenital warts develop on the skin and mucosal surfaces of the external genitalia and perianal areas
Among circumcised men, warts are most commonly found on the penile
The complications of warts include itching and occasionally bleeding. In rare cases warts become secondarily infected with bacteria or fungi. Large masses of warts may cause mechanical problems, such as obstruction of the birth canal. Patients with anogenital disease may develop serious psychological symptoms due to anxiety or depression over this condition.
PATHOGENESIS
The incubation period of human papiloma virus (HPV) disease is usually 3 to 4 months, with a range of 1 month to 2 years. All types of squamous epithelium can be infected by HPV, and the gross and histologic appearances of individual lesions vary with the site of infection and the type of virus.
The replication of HPV begins with the infection of basal cells. As cellular differentiation proceeds, HPV DNA replicates and is transcribed. Ultimately, virions are assembled in the nucleus and released when keratinocytes are shed. This process is associated with proliferation of all epidermal layers except the basal layer and produces acanthosis, parakeratosis, and hyperkeratosis
DIAGNOSIS
Most warts that are visible to the naked eye can be diagnosed correctly by history and physical examination alone.
PREVENTION
No effective methods for the prevention of HPV infections are available at present other than the avoidance of contact with infectious lesions. Barrier methods of contraception may be helpful in preventing the transmission of condyloma acuminatum and other HPV-associated diseases of the genital tract
TREATMENT
Homoeopathic system of medicine has been a boon to the patients suffering form this disease.
We at vital homoeopathy have cured hundreds of cases of warts. Homoeopathy treats the root cause of the diseases by taking into consideration the totality of a diseased person.
No two persons are alike in this world, even twins who are identical have some or the other difference. If not physically, mentally they differ. Hence homoeopathic system individualises each and every patient and hence the treatment occurs from the root cause.
Homoeopathic system does not use surgical techniques for treating diseases. We give only potentized sweet pills orally and we treat the diseases.

URTICARIA AND ECZEMA
DEFINITION
URTICARIA AND ECZEMA ARE ALLERGIC MANIFESTATIONS. ALLERGY is defined as an acquired hypersensitivity to a substance that does not normally cause a reaction. It is essentially a disorder of immune system resulting in an antibody antigen reaction. There may be a genetic predisposition to acquisition of a particular allergy..
CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS
Urticaria is a kind of skin rash notable for pale red, raised, itchy bumps. Hives is frequently caused by allergic reactions; however, there are many non-allergic causes. Most cases of hives lasting less than six weeks (acute urticaria) are the result of an allergic trigger. Chronic urticaria (hives lasting longer than six weeks) is rarely due to an allergy. Wheals from urticaria can appear anywhere on the surface of the skin. Whether the trigger is allergic or non-allergic, there is a complex release of inflammatory mediators, including histamine from cutaneous mast cells, resulting in fluid leakage from superficial blood vessels. Wheals may be pinpoint in size, or several inches in diameter.
Angioedema is a related condition (also from allergic and non-allergic causes), though fluid leakage is from much deeper blood vessels. A more serious condition called urticarial vasculitis may occour. Hives caused by stroking the skin are due to a benign condition called dermographism.
The term eczema is broadly applied to a range of persistent skin conditions. These include dryness and recurring skin rashes that are characterized by one or more of these symptoms: redness, skin edema (swelling), itching and dryness, crusting, flaking, blistering, cracking, oozing, or bleeding. Areas of temporary skin discoloration may appear and are sometimes due to healed injuries. Scratching open a healing lesion may result in scarring and may enlarge the rash.
Differnt types of eczema include Common Atopic eczema, Contact dermatitis, Xerotic eczema, Seborrhoeic dermatitis
PATHOGENESIS
In urticaria majority of patients with chronic hives have an unknown (idiopathic) cause. Perhaps as many as 30–40% of patients with chronic idiopathic urticaria will, in fact, have an autoimmune cause. Whether the trigger is allergic or non-allergic, there is a complex release of inflammatory mediators, including histamine from cutaneous mast cells, resulting in fluid leakage from superficial blood vessels. Acute viral infection is another common cause of acute urticaria (viral exanthem). Less common causes of hives include friction, pressure, temperature extremes, exercise, and sunlight.
In eczema the hygiene hypothesis postulates that the cause of eczema, and other allergic diseases is an unusually clean environment. The hypothesis states that exposure to bacteria and other immune system modulators is important during development, and missing out on this exposure increases risk for allergy.
It has been suggested that eczema may sometimes be an allergic reaction to the excrement from house dust mites.
PREVENTION
Prevention can be done only by avoidance of the allergen
TREATMENT
Homoeopathic system of medicine has been a boon to the patients suffering form these disease.
We at vital homoeopathy have cured hundreds of cases of allergic conditions. Homoeopathy treats the root cause of the diseases by taking into consideration the totality of a diseased person.
No two persons are alike in this world, even twins who are identical have some or the other difference. If not physically, mentally they differ. Hence homoeopathic system individualises each and every patient and hence the treatment occurs from the root cause.
Homoeopathic system does not use surgical techniques for treating diseases. We give only potentized sweet pills orally and we treat the diseases.
Treatment of allergy is highly specific and you need to consult a homoeopathic doctor for complete cure of the ailment.

CORNS
DEFINITION
corn also called clavus. A corn is a localized thickening of the skin due to pressure. A cone-shaped horny mass of thickened skin on the toes. Corns result from long-term friction and pressure. The conical shape of the corn presses down on the skin beneath, making it thin and tender.
EPIDEMOLOGY
This condition is more prevalent in females as a result of wearing tight or ill-fitting shoes. Corns appear as white/ gray or yellow/ brown in colour depending on your skin type.
CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS
Corns often occur on the top of the toes where there is pressure from the shoes. However, they also occur at the sole of the foot and in between toes. Certain corns may become entwined with the nerves of the skin, these corns are particularly painful. Often corns develop a core which is often referred to as the "root" by patients. Corns can be very painful, especially if there is inflammation and swelling around the corn. There are two types of corns. The hard corn is most often found on the outside of the little toe or the upper surfaces of the other toes. The soft corn is found between the toes and kept soft by moisture.Symptoms include pain and swelling around the corn and discomfort with direct pressure
PATHOGENESIS
Causes of Corns Include Tight shoes, Deformed toes (Hammer toes), Seam or stitch inside the shoe which rubs against the toe, Abnormality of gait (walking), Surgery to the lower extremities, Bunions
DIAGNOSIS
Most corns that are visible to the naked eye can be diagnosed correctly by history and physical examination alone.
PREVENTION
Avoid tight shoes and hosiery, Use a pumice stone to reduce the thickness of the corn, Use silicone pads to alleviate pain and the occurrence of a corn, Do not use corn plasters as they can lead to destruction of healthy skin. Corn plasters should never be used by diabetics or by patients suffering from poor circulation as it may lead to ulcers.
TREATMENT
Treatment includes relief from the pressure and homoeopathic drugs

Welcome to world of Homoeopathy
Though homoeopathy has a very vast scope, it has mainly restricted to particular diseases which the modern medicine has no treatment for. Many of the times people approach for homoeopathic system after they have tried and exhausted all systems of medicine until which time the disease may have reached to an advanced stage. This is a very negative trend.
If a person is suffering from any disease, he should first approach a homoeopathic physician.Here a particular problem which a person can encounter is selecting a right homoeopathic physician.
And the answer is VITAL HOMOEOPATHY.
Homoeopathic system of medicine is very effective in both acute and chronic diseases. If a tablet of paracetamol can decreased the temperature with in 2-3 hours, a homoeopathic pill can do so similarly and in some instances even quicker. In chronic diseases allopathic system of medicine has only palliative drugs which go on suppressing the disease and have to be consumed for life time and hence directly effect and derange the immune system of the body. Thus the life span of an individual is decreased and the quality of life is also vulnerable.
Hence for the treatment of disease a right desicision at right time is solicited by the public
We at vital homoeopathy have always been concerned about our patients convenience. Our patients are both in India and abroad and are perceiving the treatment from their home through our online connectivity. They receive their medicine by courier or post. The CONNECT TO CURE system protocol is a patient friendly system for collection of the data of the patient anywhere from the world.
We invite special attention for the following a few diseases which have been treated at our centre with complete cure.

ACNE
DEFINITION
Acne vulgaris is a common human skin disease, characterized by areas of skin with seborrhea (scaly red skin), comedones (blackheads and whiteheads), papules (pinheads), pustules (pimples), nodules (large papules) and possibly scarring. Acne affects mostly skin with the densest population of sebaceous follicles. These areas include the face, the upper part of the chest, and the back. Severe acne is inflammatory, but acne can also manifest in noninflammatory forms.
Some of the large nodules were previously called "cysts" and the term nodulocystic has been used to describe severe cases of inflammatory acne. The "cysts," or boils that accompany cystic acne, can appear on the buttocks, groin, and armpit area, and anywhere else where sweat collects in hair follicles and perspiration ducts. Cystic acne affects deeper skin tissue than does common acne.
Aside from scarring, its main effects are psychological, such as reduced self-esteem and, according to at least one study, depression or suicide. Acne usually appears during adolescence, when people already tend to be most socially insecure. Early and aggressive treatment is therefore advocated by some to lessen the overall impact to individuals.
CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS
Typical features of acne include: seborrhea (scaly red skin), comedones (blackheads and whiteheads), papules (pinheads), pustules (pimples), nodules (large papules) and, possibly scarring. It presents somewhat differently in people with dark skin.
Scars: Acne scars are the result of inflammation within the dermis brought on by acne. The scar is created by the wound trying to heal itself resulting in too much collagen in one spot. Different scars manifestations are Physical acne scars or Icepick scars, Ice pick scars, Box car scars, Rolling scars, Hypertrophic scars,
Pigmented scars.
PATHOGENESIS
The lesions are caused by changes in pilosebaceous units, skin structures consisting of a hair follicle and its associated sebaceous gland, changes that require androgen stimulation. Acne occurs most commonly during adolescence, and often continues into adulthood. In adolescence, acne is usually caused by an increase in testosterone, which people of both genders accrue during puberty. For most people, acne diminishes over time and tends to disappear or at the very least decrease after one reaches one's early twenties. There is, however, no way to predict how long it will take to disappear entirely, and some individuals will carry this condition well into their thirties, forties, and beyond.
Acne develops as a result of blockages in follicles. Hyperkeratinization and formation of a plug of keratin and sebum (a microcomedo) is the earliest change. Enlargement of sebaceous glands and an increase in sebum production occur with increased androgen production at adrenarche. The microcomedo may enlarge to form an open comedone (blackhead) or closed comedone (milia). Comedones are the direct result of sebaceous glands' becoming clogged with sebum, a naturally occurring oil, and dead skin cells. In these conditions, the naturally occurring largely commensal bacterium Propionibacterium acnes can cause inflammation, leading to inflammatory lesions (papules, infected pustules, or nodules) in the dermis around the microcomedo or comedone, which results in redness and may result in scarring or hyperpigmentation.
There are a number of factors which tend for its development
Hormonal: Hormonal activity, such as menstrual cycles and puberty, may contribute to the formation of acne. During puberty, an increase in male sex hormones called androgens cause the follicular glands to grow larger and make more sebum. other causes include pregnancy and disorders such as polycystic ovary syndrome or the rare Cushing's syndrome.
Genetic: The tendency to develop acne runs in families. For example, school aged boys with acne often have other members in their family with acne as well. A family history of acne is associated with an earlier occurrence of acne and an increased number of retentional acne lesions.
Psychological: While the connection between acne and stress has been debated, scientific research indicates that "increased acne severity" is "significantly associated with increased stress levels.
Infectious: Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) is the anaerobic bacterium species that is widely concluded to cause acne, though Staphylococcus epidermidis has been universally discovered to play some role since normal pores appear colonized only by P.acnes.
Diet: A high glycemic load diet and cow's milk have been associated with worsening acne. Other associations such as chocolate and salt are not supported by the evidence.

PSORIASIS
DEFINITION
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune disease that appears on the skin. It occurs when the immune system sends out faulty signals that speed up the growth cycle of skin cells. Psoriasis is not contagious. There are five types of psoriasis: plaque, guttate, inverse, pustular and erythrodermic. The most common form, plaque psoriasis, is commonly seen as red and white hues of scaly patches appearing on the top first layer of the epidermis (skin).
The disorder is a chronic recurring condition that varies in severity from minor localized patches to complete body coverage. Fingernails and toenails are frequently affected (psoriatic nail dystrophy) and can be seen as an isolated symptom. Psoriasis can also cause inflammation of the joints, which is known as psoriatic arthritis.
CAUSE
The cause of psoriasis is not fully understood, but it is believed to have a genetic component plus local psoriatic changes can be triggered by an injury to the skin known as the Koebner phenomenon. Various environmental factors have been suggested as aggravating to psoriasis, including stress, withdrawal of systemic corticosteroid, as well as other environmental factors, but few have shown statistical significance. There are many treatments available, but because of its chronic recurrent nature, psoriasis is a challenge to treat.
CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS
Psoriasis typically looks like red or pink areas of thickened, raised, and dry skin. It classically affects areas over the elbows, knees, and scalp. Essentially any body area may be involved. It tends to be more common in areas of trauma, repeat rubbing, use, or abrasions.
Psoriasis has many different appearances. It may be small flattened bumps, large thick plaques of raised skin, red patches, and pink mildly dry skin to big flakes of dry skin that flake off.
There are several different types of psoriasis including psoriasis vulgaris (common type), guttate psoriasis (small, drop like spots), inverse psoriasis (in the folds like of the underarms, navel, and buttocks), and pustular psoriasis (liquid-filled yellowish small blisters). Additionally, a separate entity affecting primarily the palms and the soles is known as palmoplantar psoriasis.
Sometimes pulling of one of these small dry white flakes of skin causes a tiny blood spot on the skin. This is medically referred to as a special diagnostic sign in psoriasis called the Auspitz sign.
Genital lesions, especially on the head of the penis, are common. Psoriasis in moist areas like the navel or area between the buttocks (intergluteal folds) may look like flat red patches.
On the nails, it can look like very small pits (pinpoint depressions or white spots on the nail) or as larger yellowish-brown separations of the nail bed called "oil spots." Nail psoriasis may be confused with and incorrectly diagnosed as a fungal nail infection.
On the scalp, it may look like severe dandruff with dry flakes and red areas of skin. It may be difficult to tell the difference between scalp psoriasis and seborrhea (dandruff). However, the treatment is often very similar for both conditions.
PATHOGENESIS
The exact cause remains unknown. There may be a combination of factors, including genetic predisposition and environmental factors. It is common for psoriasis to be found in members of the same family. The immune system is thought to play a major role. Despite research over the past 30 years looking at many triggers, the "master switch" that turns on psoriasis is still a mystery.
There are two main hypotheses about the process that occurs in the development of the disease. The first considers psoriasis as primarily a disorder of excessive growth and reproduction of skin cells. The problem is simply seen as a fault of the epidermis and its keratinocytes. The second hypothesis sees the disease as being an immune-mediated disorder in which the excessive reproduction of skin cells is secondary to factors produced by the immune system. T cells (which normally help protect the body against infection) become active, migrate to the dermis and trigger the release of cytokines which cause inflammation and the rapid production of skin cells. It is not known what initiates the activation of the T cells.
PREVENTION
Avoid stress.

VITILIGO / LEUCODERMA
DEFINITION
Vitiligo is a disorder that causes depigmentation of patches of skin. It occurs when melanocytes, the cells responsible for skin pigmentation, die or are unable to function.
CAUSES
The cause of vitiligo is unknown, but research suggests that it may arise from autoimmune, genetic, oxidative stress, neural, or viral causes. The most common form is non-segmental vitiligo.
CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS
The most notable symptom of vitiligo is depigmentation of patches of skin that occurs on the extremities. Although patches are initially small, they often enlarge and change shape. When skin lesions occur, they are most prominent on the face, hands and wrists. Depigmentation is particularly noticeable around body orifices, such as the mouth, eyes, nostrils, genitalia and umbilicus. Some lesions have hyperpigmentation around the edges. Patients who are stigmatised for their condition may experience depression and similar mood disorders.
Non-segmental vitiligo (NSV): There is usually some form of symmetry in the location of the patches of depigmentation. New patches also appear over time and can be generalized over large portions of the body or localized to a particular area. Vitiligo where little pigmented skin remains is referred to as vitiligo universalis. NSV can come about at any age, unlike segmental vitiligo,which is far more prevalent in teenage years.
Classes of non-segmental Vitiligo include: Generalized Vitiligo, Universal Vitiligo, Focal Vitiligo, Acrofacial Vitiligo and Mucosal Vitiligo.
Segmental vitiligo (SV): differs in appearance, etiology and prevalence from associated illnesses. Its treatment is different from that of NSV. It tends to affect areas of skin that are associated with dorsal roots from the spine. It spreads much more rapidly than NSV and, without treatment, it is much more stable/ static in course and not associated with auto-immune diseases and a very treatable condition that responds to topical treatment.
PATHOGENESIS
While there is no significant proof or evidence ,many doctors believe that it can be caused by defects in many genes. Variations in genes that are part of the immune system or part of melanocytes have both been associated with vitiligo. The immune system genes are associated with other autoimmune disorders.
Vitiligo is sometimes associated with autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, commonly thyroid overexpression and underexpression.
PREVENTION
There is no cure for vitiligo, but there are a number of treatments that improve the condition. In fair-skinned people, avoiding tanning of normal skin can make patches of vitiligo much less noticeable. Treatment options generally fall into four groups. A high protection sun-block is applied to areas of vitiligo to prevent sunburn. Skin camouflage is suggested in mild cases. vitiligo patches can be hidden with makeup or other cosmetic camouflage solutions. If the affected person is pale-skinned, the patches can be made less visible by avoiding sunlight and sun tanning of unaffected skin.

HYPERPIGMENTATION
DEFINITION
Hyperpigmentation is the darkening of an area of skin or nails caused by increased melanin.
CAUSES
Hyperpigmentation may be caused by sun damage, inflammation, or other skin injuries, including those related to acne vulgaris. People with darker Asian, Mediterranean or African skin tones are also more prone to hyperpigmentation, especially if they have excess sun exposure.
Hyperpigmentation is associated with a number of diseases or conditions, including: Addison's disease and other sources of adrenal insufficiency, Cushing's disease or other excessive adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) production, Acanthosis nigricans – hyperpigmentation of intertriginous areas, Melasma, also known as chloasma, Linea nigra – a hyperpigmented line found on the abdomen during pregnancy, Peutz-Jeghers syndrome – an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by hyperpigmented macules on the lips and oral mucosa and gastrointestinal polyps, Certain chemicals such as salicylic acid, bleomycin, and cisplatin, Smoker's melanosis, Celiac disease, Cronkite-Canada syndrome, Porphyria, Tinea fungal infections such as ringworm, Haemochromatosis - a common but debilitating genetic disorder characterized by the chronic accumulation of iron in the body, Mercury poisoning - particularly cases of cutaneous exposure resulting from the topical application of mercurial ointments or skin-whitening creams, Aromatase deficiency, Nelson's syndrome, Hyperpigmentation can sometimes be induced by dermatological laser procedures.
CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS
Hyperpigmentation manifests as dark coloured spots on the skin compared to normal skin and can some times be associated with itching, bleeding from the spots and disfiguration.
PATHOGENESIS
Many forms of hyperpigmentation are caused by an excess production of melanin. Hyperpigmentation can be diffuse or focal, affecting such areas as the face and the back of the hands. Melanin is produced by melanocytes at the lower layer of the epidermis. Melanin is a class of pigment responsible for producing color in the body in places such as the eyes, skin, and hair. As the body ages, melanocyte distribution becomes less diffuse and its regulation less controlled by the body. UV light stimulates melanocyte activity, and where concentrations of the cells are denser than surrounding areas, hyperpigmentation is effected. Can also be caused by using skin lightening lotions.
PREVENTION
Avoid exposure to sun, chemicals etc which may cause hyperpigmentation.
TREATMENT
Homoeopathic system of medicine has been a boon to the patients suffering form this disease. We at vital homoeopathy have cured many cases of hyperpigmentation. Homoeopathy treats the root cause of the diseases by taking into consideration the totality of a diseased person.
No two persons are alike in this world, even twins who are identical have some or the other difference. If not physically, mentally they differ. Hence homoeopathic system individualises each and every patient and hence the treatment occurs from the root cause.

COMMONLY USED DRUGS FOR VITILIGO ARE
HAIR FALL / ALOPECIA
DEFINITION
Alopecia means loss of hair from the head or body. This includes baldness, a term generally reserved for pattern alopecia or androgenic alopecia. Compulsive pulling of hair (trichotillomania) can also produce alopecia. Hairstyling routines such as ponytails or braids can also induce hair loss, as can hair relaxer solutions, and hot hair irons.
In some cases, alopecia is due to underlying medical conditions, such as iron deficiency. Generally, patchy hair loss signifies alopecia areata. Alopecia areata typically presents with sudden hair loss causing patches to appear on the scalp or other areas of the body. If left untreated, or if the disease does not respond to treatment, complete baldness can result in the affected area, or alopecia totalis. When the entire body suffers from complete hair loss, it is alopecia universalis. It is similar to effects that occur with chemotherapy.
CAUSES
The different causes which atribute to hairfall and alopecia are
Alopecia mucinosa, Androgenic alopecia, Dissecting Cellulitis, Fungal Infections (such as tinea capitis), Hair Treatments (chemicals in relaxers, hair straighteners)
Hereditary Disorder, Hormonal Changes, Hyperthyroidism and Hypothyroidism, Hypervitaminosis A, Iron deficiency, Lupus Erythematosus, Medications (side effects from drugs, such as chemotherapy), Pseudopelade of Brocq, Radiation therapy, Scalp infection, Secondary syphilis, Telogen effluvium, Traction alopecia,
Trichotillomania, Tufted folliculitis
CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS
Upon examination of the scalp, the distribution of hair loss, presence and characteristics of skin lesions, and the presence of scarring should be noted. Part widths should be measured. All abnormalities should be noted. Male-pattern hair loss, the hair loss begins at the temples and either thins out or falls out. Female-pattern hair loss occurs when hair thinning occurs at the frontal and parietal.
PATHOGENESIS
Hair follicle growth occurs in cycles. Each cycle consists of a long growing phase (anagen), a short transitional phase (catagen) and a short resting phase (telogen). At the end of the resting phase, the hair falls out (exogen) and a new hair starts growing in the follicle beginning the cycle again.
Normally about 100 hairs reach the end of their resting phase each day and fall out. When more than 100 hairs fall out per day, clinical hair loss (telogen effluvium) may occur. A disruption of the growing phase causes abnormal loss of anagen hairs (anagen effluvium).
