Abstract

Kushta is the broad term used in Ayurveda to refer to skin problems. One of these illnesses that falls under the category of Ksudra Kushta is Vipadika. Diverse acharyas have identified distinct indications and manifestations of Vipadika. Its characteristics, according to Acharya Vagbata, include Manda Kandu, Teevra Vedana, Pani Pada Sputana (cracking of the skin on the palms and soles), and Saraga Pidaka. It is mostly a Vata and Kapha Doshaja Vyadi chronic and recurrent problem. The patient in this case study has complained of itching in both of their planter aspects for four years. The patient's symptoms have been worse over the past two years, with a powdery discharge, a burning sensation, and fissures all over the planter aspect of the foot.
