These lesions usually last few minutes to few hours and then go away without leaving any trace. These symptoms can be linked with Shitapitta. This study aim to assess the efficacy of Ayruvedic management in Shitapitta based on Ayruvedic Shaman and Shodhan Chikista. This patient used Dhauti Karma and Nitya Virechan for adequate control.
