A case of Psoriasis! The importance of the PQRS (peculiar, quick, rare, strange) symptoms

 

This is a case of a 34 year old male suffering from psoriasis on the soles of his feet since 5 years. He first consulted me on the 28^th September 2017. The affected skin had turned blackish, it started from the right foot and later also affected the left foot. There was scaling as well as discharge from the eruptions that oozed out after scratching. Strong symptoms were itching, he used to scratch until it bleed. He took lot of allopathic treatment for the skin. On observation – his left leg was icy cold to touch. He feelt good after warm bathing. When the psoriasis started, it began in the winter season, however eruptions were there through out the year, with flare ups in the winter season.

He was very stressed about his finances. He was working in a job where his finances were strained, and also had a lot of anxiety about the psoriasis; he felt it could turn into cancer.
