The Updated Review on Ayurvedic Melasma Etiopathogenesis

Abstract

Since skin covers the entire body, it is a prominent bodily feature that is readily visible and appreciated. Self-esteem is greatly impacted by one's physical appearance, which also helps to create social connections and opens doors. Even while we claim that this is not a major medical problem, there is still plenty here to undermine one's self-assurance. Due to intense competition and globalization, being well-groomed has become essential for success. In Ayurveda, Vyanga (also known as Melasma) is stated under Rakta Pradoshaja Vyadhi and Kshudra Roga. This is an effort to describe the pathophysiology, symptoms, and causation of Vyanga. With careful examination and compilation of evidence from many Samhitas and contemporary literature, we can determine the precise etiopathogenesis of Melasma (Vyanga) from an Ayurvedic perspective.^[1]
