ABSTRACT

Due to inadequate immunity, filthy living circumstances, and poor diet, the incidence of skin diseases has significantly increased in developing nations like India and tropical regions in recent years. Skin is the area of the body that is most exposed. Because the skin serves as a mirror to reflect both internal and exterior pathology in such disorders, which aids in diagnosis, a patient who has any skin condition experiences physical, emotional, and socioeconomic humiliation in his or her society. There are many other skin infections, but tinea/ringworm is one that is affecting people of all ages and spreading quickly. In Ayurveda, skin infections are known as Twak Vikara or Kushtha roga. Dadru is referred to as a Dadru Kushtha among the Kushtha Roga. Due to the similarities in their signs and symptoms, Dadru Kushtha and Tinea/ringworm, a cutaneous fungal illness, are connected in modern medicine. In this study, 60 cases were taken and administered the suitable dosage of Dadrughna lepa according to the affected area. It was found that the age between maximum in 31-40 years and in 41-50 years were more prone to Dadru Kushtha. Present study was conducted on diagnosed patients of Dadru Kushtha in patients Dadrughna Lepa was applied. Drugs with the qualities of Kandughana, Kushtahara, Krimighna, vishaghna, and Tridoshahara are utilized in formulations. The outcomes showed that Dadrughna Lepa had a highly substantial impact on a variety of subjective parameter, including Raga, Kandu, size of pidika after therapy. The drug's effects over the 15th-day follow-up period indicated a long-lasting impact on the illness.
