Abstract: A common skin condition called dadru is mentioned in Ayurvedic texts. A key idea in Ayurveda is Twak Sharir. According to the number of layers of skin, Twak Sharir has different types of Kushtha. Kushtha's Dadru variant primarily affects the fourth of the skin's six layers. According to recent research, local fungal or tinea infections, which can affect up to 15% of the population, are directly related to the clinical presentation of Dadru. As typical symptoms, Darshana and Prashana Pariksha can recognise excessive, acute itching and ring-shaped red patches. Those in charge include Shodhan, Shaman, and Bahirparimarjan Chikitsa. Lepa (topical applications) are common shamanic remedies that are recommended among them. Gandhakadi Malhar serves as the study's central text.
Keywords: Kushtha, Dadru, Twaka, Tinea.
