Abstract
The longest sense organ in the human body, the skin surrounds the other organs. It serves as a protective component of the human body. Numerous environmental elements cause early physiological changes as well as numerous pathological impacts on the skin. Infections with bacteria, fungus, etc., are the cause of skin illnesses. In Ayurveda, the general term "Kushta" refers to all skin conditions. Kshudrakushta and Mahakushta are the two primary forms of kusta. Among them is Dadru. It is kapha-pitta dominant and is Raktapradoshaja vyadhi. Dadru is comparable to Tinea corporis, a fungal infection brought on by unsanitary settings, because all of the symptoms are the same. The WHO estimates a 20–25% prevalence rate for superficial mycotic infections. Ayurveda uses fundamental concepts like Shodhana and Shamana chikitsa to give patients long-lasting benefits and a better, healthier life. Here, we report a 32-year-old female who has been experiencing Dadru kushta symptoms for the past three months. Her symptoms did not go away despite using allopathic therapy for three months. She had itching, dryness, and huge circular, erythematous, scaly areas over her buttocks and thoracoabdominal area. The patient has never had any prior chronic illnesses. The patient is treated with Shamana chikitsa, or conservative treatment, after receiving Panchakarma, also known as Vamana karma, or emesis therapy. Following the course of Vamana karma, the patient noticed a reduction in symptoms.
