Dr Vikram Chauhan02 Aug, 2023Health

But Ayurveda has mentioned all skin conditions under a single category that is kushtha. Kushtha has two subtypes maha kushtha and shudra kushtha. Maha kushtha has seven types and shudra kushtha has 18 types. It is even mentioned that kushtha can be of innumerable types. All of the modern explained skin conditions may not have clear cut correlation with kushtha types but according to dosha vitiation and dhatu involvement a very good management of skin conditions can be done in Ayurveda.
