Abstract


Dadru is one of the most common Twak Vikara affecting all the age group of population. On the basis of presenting symptomatology most of the scholars have similated Dadru with 'Tinea corporis ' through modern perspective. Ayurveda explained all the skin diseases under a broad heading called ‘Kushtha’ which is further classified in two main Mahakushtha and Kshudrakushtha . Dadru is explained as Kshudrakushtha by Aacharya Charaka¹. Incidence rate of Dadru gradually increasing day to day because of improper Vihara like uncleanliness of body, sharing cloths of others etc. In contemporary medicine science, it is managed with topical and systemic antifungal agents and use of corticosteroids.  The present work has been undertaken to evaluate the the effect of Ayurvedic management in Dadru chikitsa.
