Background
Mahakushta and Kshudrakushta are the two categories into which kushtha rog is divided.
Kshudrakushta has a description of Vicharchika. Ayurvedic dermatologists frequently face the kind of
Kshudrakushta known as Vicharchika, which is characterized by both Kandu, Srava, Pidaka a, and
Shyava varna symptoms. Clinical call presentations based on eczema and vicharchika have frequently
been linked. Modern medicine has therefore made significant advancements, notably in the field of
dermatology, but when some medications—like steroids—are overused or abused, they can have
catastrophic adverse effects like nephrotoxicity, osteoporosis, skin cancer, etc. While Ayurveda heals
many cases of eczema without any negative side effects by balancing the Dosha and Dhatus and purging
vitiated Dosha.
Materials and methods: A 24-year-old female patient arrived at the OPD complaining of bleeding,
cracking, itching, and blackish discoloration on the back. The allegations all dated back Six years. Co-
treatment with Ayurvedic remedies such as Raktshodhaka vati, Sukshma triphala, Arogyvardhini vati,
Bhringraj ghanvati, and Anulomak vati was administered to the patient. The effects were astounding to
observe, and the symptoms significantly improved. This study was used to demonstrate that Ayurvedic
management produces outstanding results in Vicharchika (eczema). Based on the evaluation criteria,
observations and conclusions were made. Based on all research-related observations, a discussion was
conducted. Based on the outcome, a conclusion was reached.
Result: The patient had started improving during treatment and at the end of the 28th day there was
overall recovery. As the case had reached Upadrava, it needs time to cure but with Ayurvedic treatment,
it has relief in all the subjective and objective parameters.
Conclusion: The case study reveals how Vicharchika was treated using solely Panchakarma and
Ayurvedic medicine. In the care of Vicharchika, Pathyasevan is crucial. Avoiding apathya is advised.
The patient felt better, and her symptoms had greatly decreased. As a result, the offered Ayurvedic
medication proved effective in curing the illness.
