Abstract
Vitiligo a disease of cosmetic problem has much psychosocial impact. The success rate in treating this condition in conventional medicines is limited and sometimes, treatment follows with side effects. Though a few case records are documented in the past about the success of various homoeopathic medicines, yet they lack proper quantitative assessment. This is a case documented from the ongoing clinical research study on vitiligo at Clinical Research Unit (Homoeopathy), Chennai. The case was treated with Phosphorus over a period of 17 months with steady improvement which is evident from the photographs and improvement in baseline scores of presentation of the case. The outcome of the ongoing multicentric clinical research study will reveal further regarding the effect of homoeopathic medicine in Vitiligo.
