subjectAbstract

Vicharchika is often correlated to eczema based on the clinical presentation. Eczema is a form of dermatitis. As per Ayurvedic texts Vicharchika is characterized by symptoms namely kandu (itching), srava (discharge), pidaka (vesicles) and shyava vrana (discolouration). No satisfactory treatment is available in contemporary medical practice except antihistamines and topical steroids. A 55 years old female patient approached to OPD with chief complains of discharge, edema, erythematous skin lesion and intense itching at right ankle region. Line of treatment plan was Raktamokshana as shodhana upkarma and Shaman aushadhi according to dosh dushya samurchana. Remarkable improvement was observed within span of 30 days of commencement of treatment.
