Abstract

One of the most prevalent disorders seen in modern clinical practice is mukhadushika, which is characterized by facial eruptions that look like thorns (shalmalikantakavata). It is seen more from an aesthetic perspective than a medicinal one. It is classied in the Samhitas as a Kshudraroga, which are regarded to be mild illnesses. However, in rare instances like Mukhadushika, this can lead to a signicant aesthetic handicap and cause great emotional anguish. It can be likened to Acne vulgaris, a persistent inammatory disorder of the pilosebaceous follicles on the face, based on its clinical characteristics. It is characterized by the formation of papules, pustules, cysts, and comedones (black heads), some of which may heal to leave pitted scars. To some degree or another, modern medicine has been unable to completely eradicate this illness. The ShodhanaChikitsa like Virechana, Vamana, Nasya, and Lepa have been primarily referenced in the classics for this condition. In the treatment of Mukhadushika, clinical observation has demonstrated the effectiveness of Sadyovirechana and Manjishtha lepa. Here is a case report of a 19 years old male who arrived with red, sensitive acne on cheeks and chin along with excruciating discomfort and a burning feeling.
