Vicharchika- A Clinical study

Suman Ahuja

Abstract :

Vicharchika which is one of the common skin diseases, is most prevalent among masses whether rural or Urban. A critical peep with regard to this into the various Ayurvedic Classics reveals that, the various kushtha rogas (including Vicharchika) were known to ancients of remote antiquity. Though all Ayurvedic classics have described eighteen varieties of Kushthas dividing into two main groups viz. Mahakushthas and Kshudra Kushthas, but they differ in nomenclature, order, description, doshas involved and prognosis etc. In Ayurveda all skin disorders have been classified mainly into two groups viz. Mahakushthas and Kshudra Kushthas, Vicharchika has been described under Kshudra Kushthas (Cha.Nid.Chap.5.shloka.4), Vicharchika, which is one of the common skin diseases is most prevalent among masses both rural and urban. It is most baneful, obstinate and highly troublesome disease.
