ABSTRACT

The skin, body's biggest organ, is crucial to both physical and emotional wellness. Kushtha and Kshudra Kustha are the terms used to describe skin disorders. One such disease that falls under the Kshudra Kushtha is Vipadika. Due to the clinical similarities between Vipadika and Palmoplantar psoriasis, they can be compared. The indications and symptoms of Vipadika have been presented in various ways by different Acharyas. Panipadsputana(Cracks over palms and soles), Tivra Vedana(severe Pain), Manda Kandu(Mild Itching), and Sarag Pidika( Red-colored Macule) are considered to be the symptoms of Vipadika by Ashtang Hridaya. Due to cosmetic concerns, this skin condition inhibits daily activities and depresses patients. It is an auto immune illness with a long latency period. It is estimated to account for 3–4% of all instances of psoriasis. The condition can be treated using a wide range of therapeutic options thanks to current research. They may have a variety ofadverse effects, and recurrence after they have subsided is also rather common, which has opened up a lot of opportunities for alternative medical systems to treat Vipadika. She had a history of taking continuous medications from both contemporary medicine and homoeopathy for a period of one year. She was admitted to Parul Ayurveda Hospital following a clinical evaluation, where she received treatment with Virechan, oral drugs, and external treatments. She had provided medication for oral and external use for 15 days after discharge. The pain and fissures were completely relieved.
