Dr. N. Arun, Dr. G. Bhuvaneswari

Abstract: Heloma Durum or A Corn is a localized form of callosity that develops as a result of repeated friction, pressure, or irritation of the skin, most commonly seen on the soles of the feet and toes. It often presents with hard, thickened skin and is typically accompanied by pain, especially while walking or standing for prolonged periods. In this case, a 56 - year - old female presented with a painful corn on the right sole of her foot, which significantly affected her daily activities. A detailed case - taking was conducted to understand her physical, mental, and emotional state, along with her lifestyle and medical history. Repertorization was carried out using the Complete Repertory, focusing on characteristic symptoms related to her complaint. Based on the totality of symptoms, Antimonium crudum was selected as the individualized homeopathic remedy. This case highlights the importance of individualized treatment in homeopathy, where the remedy is tailored to the patient's overall constitution, resulting in effective and holistic healing.
