Abstract
The present case report was a 25-year-old male patient with severe pain at the right index finger, fever, oedema, and discharge, not having any history of surgery, hypertension, diabetes, or any systemic disorder was diagnosed with kotha roga (necrotizing fasciitis). Presently available treatment for this is broad-spectrum intravenous antibiotics, appropriate hydration support, and meticulous surgical debridement with regular wound packing. But because of contaminated wounds and poor prognosis, herbal therapies have a possibility to cure kotha as they are readily available, and inexpensive. In this case, a kshara formulation i.e., modified ksharpichu was chosen as an atrial medication to be applied locally after everyday cleaning and dressing. It was observed that ksharpichu acted as a debriding agent and healing as well. The case was followed up for 30 days. This study employed pretty simple criteria to gain preliminary observations on the effectiveness of this Kshara taila on kotha roga.
