Abstract

Background: Mukhadushika, commonly known as Acne Vulgaris, is a skin condition that significantly affects individuals during adolescence and early adulthood. This clinical study evaluates the effect of Kustumburadi Lepa in the management of Mukhadushika, focusing on various symptoms such as pain (Ruja), hardness (Ghana), burning sensation (Daha), itching (Kandu), and the overall lesion count.[1] Objectives: To assess the effectiveness of Kustumburadi Lepa in reducing the clinical symptoms of Mukhadushika. Methods: A single subject, a 21-year-old female student, was treated with Kustumburadi Lepa for 21 days. Clinical evaluations were conducted before and after treatment for symptom improvement. Results: Significant improvement was observed in the reduction of symptoms such as pain, hardness, and burning sensation. The patient showed a decrease in the overall grade of acne lesions from grade 3 to grade 1, along with complete resolution of associated symptoms. Conclusion: Kustumburadi Lepa proves to be an effective treatment for Mukhadushika, offering substantial relief from clinical symptoms with minimal side effects.
