Abstract

Skin diseases are considered the most common health problems worldwide and they are associated with a lot of burden. The burden of skin disease is a multidimensional concept that includes psychological, social and financial factors. Tinea Corporis is most common dermatophytosis. While Tinea Corporis occurs worldwide, it is most commonly observed in tropical regions. The lifetime risk of acquiring tinea corporis is estimated to be 10-20%. In tinea corporis erythema, itching, granular surface, circular elevation of skin is present. The drugs which are used in tinea have many side effects so they cannot be taken for life long which leads to discontinuation of treatment. Tinea corporis can be correlated to Dadru Kushtha on clinical basis. With aim to provide relief to the patient and assess the efficacy of ‘Panchtikta Ghrita Gugglu’, ‘Khadirarishta’ and Edgajadi lepa in Dadru (Tinea Corporis) the present review study have been planned.
