Abstract

A localized form of Psoriasis known as Palmo plantar psoriasis is characterized by the development of thick, scaly and hyperkeratotic plaques. Despite the fact that this disease mostly affects the palms and soles, the hardness of the skin makes it difficult to do daily tasks. This condition is related to Vaipadika in Ayurveda. In the framework of Kshudra kusta, Vaipidika is explained. This illness is mostly caused by the Vatakapha dosha, which is identified by Pani pada sphuthana and Teerva vedhana. Here is a case of a 55 years old female with history of dryness ,scaling and cracks over her bilateral palms and soles associated with pain , blackish discoloration and severe itching and burning sensation, associated with bloody discharge since 1 year .Patient was treated with Snehana and Swedana and later Shamana oushadi were given for 7 days along with life style modification. Patient had good relief in symptoms.
