After
Rajesh is happy with the psoriasis treatment at Dr Batra’s. There is no sign of recurrence of the disease after treatment.
Sangeeta Nair visited us 2 years back. She was tensed due to a skin problem known as psoriasis. She tried many things to get rid of the ugly patches on her skin. She met skin specialists, dermatologists and visited several clinics. Applied creams and lotions, but the results were not long-lasting and patches reappeared within few months.
Within 1 month of taking psoriasis treatment at Dr Batra’s, she found changes and hence she continued taking homeopathic medicines for long-lasting results.
