ABSTRACT

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most common causes of warts, and most people will contract it at some point in their lives. Warts are similar to Charmakeela in Ayurveda. Clinical examination is used to make the diagnosis, which is usually straightforward by visual inspection. Treatment of warts requires patience and careful procedure selection based on the type and location of the disease; otherwise, cosmetic derangement or recurrence of the ailment may occur. Pain, interference with function, cosmetic embarrassment, and the risk of malignancy are all indications for treatment. In terms of disease management, various types of treatment procedures are explained in modern science. Ayurveda also explains various treatment principles such as drug administration internally, drug application externally, and Para surgical procedures [such as Raktamokshana (bloodletting), Ksharakarma (chemical cauterization), and Agnikarma (thermal cauterization)]. In this case we have treated nasal wart with Ksharasutra ligation procedure. This indigenous treatment method is minimally invasive procedure that do not leave scars, has no recurrence, and has been found to be more effective in the treatment of warts. Keywords: Charmakeela, ksharasutra, lekhana karma, nasal wart, Para surgical procedure
