Ail Aggarwal, E Siva Rami Reddy
Background-Contact dermatitis is an inflammatory process in skin caused by an exogenous agent or agents that directly or indirectly injure the skin. This injury may be caused by an inherent characteristic of a compound- irritant contact dermatitis (ICD). Aim- To evaluate the clinical verification of symptomatology of Graphitis in contact dermatitis. Methodology- This was a Clinical study. 100 cases were selected. Detailed case taking was done in especially designed case taking proforma. Cases were reviewed at the interval of 15 days using assessment scale Likelihood Ratio and data were recorded for minimum 6 follow-ups. The before treatment and after treatment symptom scores were compared applying appropriate statistical techniques paired t-test. Results- it is observed that |t| =16.824>tc=1.984, it is then concluded that the null hypothesis is rejected. Using the P-value approach: The p-value is p=0, and since p=0<0.05, it is concluded that the null hypothesis is rejected. Conclusion- Homoeopathic medicine Graphitis has been found significantly effective in cases of contact dermatitis.
