The ‘Skin’ has its’ own cosmetic values other than normal physiological functions. Dermatophytosis is a superficial skin infection causing annular itchy lesions on the superficial skin surface. A steady escalation in the burden of fungal disease has emerged in the form of an epidemic in India. Lack of awareness among the common people subjugated with poor hygiene, low socioeconomic status, humid weather conditions of the tropics, and subtropics contributes to worsening the present scenario. Lack of research in mycology and misuse of the combination of steroid and anti-fungal has led to an uncontrolled outbreak of the disease with diverse clinical symptoms in different age groups. This case series shows 5 different cases of Dermatophytosis treated in the Outpatient departments. 3 out of 5 cases were less responsive to the conventional anti-fungal ointments which lead the patient to opt for Homoeopathy. All 5 cases recovered with individualised homoeopathic treatment without any further complications. The situation demands a well thought alternative treatment option that can reduce the disease burden and the financial burden. This evidence gives a positive direction for the application of homeopathy alone and seems to open a door for add-on therapies along with conventional treatments in the future
