Abstract
Introduction: An eczema is a common form of dermatitis that causes inflammation of the epidermal layer of skin. It results from various internal and external factors which are related to allergic conditions or hypersensitivity that causes inflammation. Eczema impairs the quality of life and has significant psychological and social distress. Managing eczema can help in improving a patient’s quality of life. In Ayurveda, it is described by the term Vicharchika which is a Rakta Pradoshaja Vikara and is included under Kshudra Kushta. Material and method: In this study, a male patient of 20-year-old presented with complaints of a dry scaly lesion (approx. 5cm×3cm) with intense itching and burning sensation over the dorsum of the bilateral foot for 6 months. Diagnosis: This condition in Ayurveda was diagnosed as Vicharchika. Intervention: In this present study, an attempt is made to study the combined efficacy of Virechana and Raktamokshan in Eczema (Vicharchika). Outcome: The patient had significant relief in the symptoms of Vicharchika. There was a marked improvement in itching and dryness. Result and Conclusion: The result was assessed by improvement in the patient's symptoms before and after the treatment. Virechana and Raktamokshan are the best lines of treatment in the management of (Kushta) skin disorders.
