Suggest Treatment For Palmoplanter Keratoderma.
Dear Dr. Rangadhar,
I have been recently diagnosed with Palmoplantar Keratoderma and I have Icthyosis Vulgaris since childhood. I have tried topical and oral retinoids but there isn't much improvement.
Since these symptoms are acquired and not heridated, does Homeopathy offer a permanent cure for this?
Thank You.

1. since skin of hands/feet are thick [keratoderma], they can affect your ADL [activities of daily living] since unusual appearance can be stressful and lead to psychological difficulties.
2. In Ayurveda, we generally treat the disease on the lines of 'ek kushtha' and/or 'charum kushtha', so in best Interest kindly consult an Ayurveda Physician in your locality for further treatment options or Homeopathy Doctor for Management.
PS. Since disease is acquired [since birth], it may be result of other Illness, [Icthyososis], thus treatment is time consuming, as such Rasayan Chikitsa [Immunomodulation] is required.
